I have a whirlpool duet sport electric dryer it turns on but the cycle setting will not match up with where i put the knob and the winkle shield is on and wont shut off. i didn't even use the winkle shild last time i dryed close

The tech sheet is located under the kick /service panel in a jacket. Suggetions and codes are in it. Duet sport service manual

If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

that knob is actually a switch. fixing it will be much easier, if you replace the whole switch unit..
good luck..

Is the selector knob loose on the stem? Look on the knob to see if there is a set screw of some sort that you can tighten to set it where it belongs, it just seems it's loose and isn't pointing to where it should. Let me know if this works or not,
Please rate and comment, Thank you,

Was there a solution?

the first thing to check is the ribbon connectors from the front board to every other board.gently unplug them and clean with alcohol and plug them back in.hope this helps.

i can be either the timer , control board or check to see if there is a wire brush runing on the drum this is a sensor and if it is worn down it give funny readings

Turn off the breaker and check the heating element.
for more help go to live chat.
hope this helps

I was able to fix our problem by running through the control panel diagnostics as outlined in the repair manual, which I found here:

https://secured.whirlpool.com/Service/SrvTechAdm.nsf/2cd44500d572193285256a45004fd9d6/cdce3c10dcb5382285256aa20064beaa?OpenDocument

All the diagnostic steps were successful and after I had worked through the list I was able to use the Automatic Cycles. Hope this helps!

This is some basic info I could find on your dryer. I will need you Serial Number in order to determine the year it was produced. Please post back with comments and let me know.
