I have a Cabrio dryer and 2 weeks ago the timer started going backwards. The repairman was just here and said there was nothing to be done. He watched it go from 10 min to 55 min after running on 10 min for a long time. How can I trust the dryer and I know there is something wrong. It never did this before. Help

I don't have the answer you are looking for but I will tell you I bought a set of Whirlpool Washer & Dryer 9 yrs ago and they were a nightmare. After replacing the boards in both my dryer once and washing machine 2-3 times, I packed them up and got rid of them. If you will start to look you will see all kinds of lawsuits against Whirlpool. Can't believe they are still in business.

If it's 15 years old, it doesn't owe you very much.

Possible blown thermal fuse on the blower housing, can be tested for continuity

Hello, yes it is possible that the thermal fuse has gone again. Before attempting any repair yourself please unplug the dryer. The thermal fuse is located in the rear of the dryer the service panel would have to be removed. it is on the hot air duct has 2 wires going to it white in colour about 1 1\2 ' s long and 1\4 " wide. Also locate wear the vent is outside and make sure you have good air flow. good luck

The stepper motor in those timers are prone to giving favorable readings when checked and go back to acting fruity when left to themselves. It's a sticking problem. Try taking the back off the control timer, usually you bend some tangs that hold it on straight, being careful not to overstress them and check the contact points. If they are burnt even slightly then take a file or emory cloth to them, making sure you keep them straight, don't round the corners. Then put the switch back on the head housing without the back on and plug back in. DO NOT TOUCH BACK OF TIMER WHILE PLUGGED IN. Run it through a cycle and see if the motor binds up. It may take a couple of times for it to do it if it's going to. If this doesn't work, then get back to me.

Probablyl the timer motor. Synchonosous motors that run these timers have a internal part that insure they always start the same direction.
