Here are your parts Replacement parts for Whirlpool LER5636EQ3 ELECTRIC DRYER | AppliancePartsPros.comSee the attachment for the tech sheet. I could not find one for an EQ3 so it is for an EQ2 but is probably the same as yours. [COLOR="Blue"](timed dry only, our dryer has no sensor)[/COLOR] Although your unit does not have a sensor it has auto modes which do sort of the same thing. In a timed dry mode, the timer motor gets power directly through Timer Switch 0 contacts TM/WB. In auto modes it gets power through the heating coil when the coil is shut off through Timer Switch contacts TM/OR. The 5000 ohm resistor is there to drop the 240 volts down to 120 volts so it does not blow the timer motor. There are a number of things that can cause it to not advance in auto re: a blown resistor, a grounded element etc. So does it also not advance on a timed dry cycle? |
