Whirlpool WED94HEAW Duet 10 Cycle Front-Load Electric Dryer With 7.4 - Page 9 Questions & Answers
I have a Whirlpool Duet Dryer that powers on but won't start. The sensing light comes on and the timer comes on but nothing happens. The door and interior light is fine.
that could be a few different things ,broken belt,there's a switch on the belt pulley that stops the dryer from starting as a safety if the belt breaks,you didn't send the model number next time send it,open the door,look around the opening where you put the clothes in and you'll see a tag with the model number on it,could be a bad thermal fuse,high limit thermostat,the only way to tell is by getting in there with a meter and check it,the easiest thing to do is take the lid off and grab the belt and pull on it to see if it broke,check the door switch,push it in and out and make sure it's working,also on the back where the cord connects make sure you have 240 volts there if it's electric,if it's gas then you know you already have power because the light is on.if you need more help send model number and do a few checks and i can help you out.also have you seen any error codes come up,if so send them.
Whirlpool duet dryer making a high pitch wine after it sounded like sand being sucked through the vent
My GUESS is the machine was either operated without the lint screen and an item made its way near the exhaust fan or piece of the lint screen itself has broken loose and made its way near the fan. The sand noise would likely be debris being swept up by what ever got into the fan duct, then through the fan leaving the item stuck near the fan. I suppose it would be possible for lint to build up in the internal duct and it dislodged... but not likely unless poor exhaust or extreme exhaust vent length. But I would expect other complaints if that were the case.
Dryer#w10804690b is there a reset button some where on this unit ?
I could not make sense out of your model number ... however .... generally there is NOT an easy accessible "reset" button on dryers. Sometimes, with newer models there is a sequence you can through with the control panel like the first video. Or just unplugging it ... waiting 10 minutes ... then replugging it back in.
But if you have over heated the dryer (too much lint build up as an example) there is an internal high temperature limit fuse that blows to prevent the dryer from overheating.
See second video as an example of that.
Good luck with your troubleshooting!

You really need a volt / ohm meter to check for Continuity & Volts
Its well worth the investment... $15.00 bucks give or take a few
I would check to see if you have 220v to back of dryer where the cord mounts to dryer,
If dryer is getting only 1 leg 110 volts instead of the 220 will it not heat.
Check themostates & heater for Continuity... Most models, Now have a.. Hi-limit fuses that need to be checked for Continuity
