Gene has much to be proud of
Default

Pull the dryer of the wall, unplug the power cord, remove the vent hose from the dryer and remove the back panel.

According to the bulkhead parts break down diagram start the troubleshooting from the thermal fuse (#7). Remove at least one wire from the thermal fuse and check the continuity across terminals.

If the thermal fuse is open it has to be replaced together with the cycling thermostat (#9).

If this is not an issue, go to the flame sensor(#49) and perform the same continuity test. Replace if it's open.

- The part number for the thermal fuse AP3132867

- The part number for the cycling thermostat AP3131939

- The part number for the flame sensor is AP2910747

- Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool Estate dryer Model TGDS840JQ0


Good luck and Happy New year.

Gene.
