How do i test this to see if this is faulty. My problem is i don’t have 240 volts coming into the heaters i only have 120 volts.
For model number 96274100
Hi Eddie,
Thank you for your question. Before you can begin to test your dryer's timer motor, you must first locate the device. It is a part of the timer assembly. Dryer timer assemblies are located behind the control console panel. You may only have to remove the screws securing the front control panel in place, or, depending on your model, your may have to remove the rear panel behind the control panel.
Label the wires connecting to your timer motor so that you will be able to correctly reconnect them later. Carefuly remove the wires. Do not pull on the wire itself. Instead, use needle nose pliers to pull gently on the wire connector.
Set your ohmmeter to the R x 1 setting. Take each probe and touch it to one wire. A normal reading for most dryers is in the 2000 to 3000 ohms range. Try to locate a schematic for your dryer. It should be in one of the service areas of your dryer or in the owner's manual. This schematic should indicate the proper resistance reading for your specific timer motor.
If the reading you receive from testing your timer's motor differs greatly from the range presented here, then you should replace your timer motor, or the entire timer assembly. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Will faulty part #WP9830714 cause a no start condition for dryer?
For model number MDG17CSAWW1
Hello Carlos, thank you for your question. The most common reason for a dryer to not start is a faulty Door Switch PS11741701. Secondly check that the Dryer Thermal Fuse PS11741460 is not blown. The Timer is used to control the unit's cycles by regulating the length of time that power is directed to each setting. Thank you and good luck with this repair.
