if you have it on time dry and it doesn't count down the timer is bad but it should stop when you open the door unless you have a broken door switch too,just open the door and push in on the switch with your finger,it should make a clicking sound,if not the door switch is also broke,if you have the timer on auto or more or less then it won't move without heat.on auto the heat comes on when the dryer reaches temp. the heat shuts off and the timer will advance a little,then the heat starts again and the timer stops,it will do this until the clothes are dry by using a sensor instead of time.
These drums ride on bearings. Remove the back cover of the dryer and then remove the cabinet from the frame, tub and motor assembly. Reposition the tub for the bearings and reinstall. time est 30 min.
If you are having dryer problems and you cannot even get the thing to start, then you might want to start going through this check list of possibilities. There are a number of things that can cause your dryer to not run.
A couple of the most common problems are the thermal fuse has blown or the door switch is not operating properly. On many dryers if the thermal fuse blows, the dryer will not run at all. This fuse can be checked with an ohm meter. It should show continuity if it is okay. If there is no continuity then you need to replace it and also find out what else failed. This is a safety device that usually blows because something else allowed the dryer to get too hot. It is usually located in the back of the dryer, on the blower housing. Some are oval in shape and others are rectangular, usually with two wires attached.
A defective door switch or a bent door switch lever can also cause you to have problems. If the lever is broken or bent it will not activate the switch. If the switch is broken, this also will not allow the dryer to be started.
The push (or turn) to start switch can go bad, but is unlikely. To check this, hold it in or turn it and then check to make sure you have continuity with an ohm meter.
If the dryer starts and then stops when the switch is released check the control board or the ?even heat? control on some model dryers. Some dryers have a belt break switch that can fail or your belt may be way loose or broken.
Check for burn marks or burnt wires at the terminal block on your dryer, poor connections can cause all kinds of problems. Also poor connections can cause fires.
A bad power cord also falls into this same category.
Of course, always check that you have the proper voltage to the outlet that you are plugging into.
take a screwdriver and push it in below the door at the top of the bottom panel, near each end of the panel, there is a springclip to pry on that that releases the panel and it will fold out and then lift off. then you can get access by removing a few screws.
BE SURE TO UNPLUG BEFORE WORKING ON IT.
underneath the lint trap is the sensor, it is dirty. You will need to clean it, just be gently as if not you may break it, when you look down the lint trap it has two screws. Here is a web site that will help with the dissemblance of the dryer :
It is probably the thermal fuse which you can get access to from the front bottom cover. It is about $15 and most parts stores have it in stock. Need 1/4" wrench to remove. Clogged vent tube is most common reason for this going out so pull out and vacuum out well too. Make sure you unplug the dryer first.
The fuse to this dryer is inside behind the filter housing beside the thermistor. Pop that bottom panel and remove the filter housing to get to this fuse. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61
