Here is your parts breakdown Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL LEQ9508LW0 | AppliancePartsPros.comHere is the wiring diagram https://www.servicematters.com/d...0Sheet%20-%203406661.pdfHere is a good site with basic dryer repair help http://www.applianceaid.com/dryers.htmlThe Omega sign should be ohms/resistance A couple things to watch when measuring ohms and continuity 1. Always remove power from the machine otherwise you could blow your meter. 2. Always disconnect at least one side of any device you are checking. This eliminates the possibility of measuring an alternate/parallel circuit path. 3. When checking for closed contacts and continuity use the lowest scale (Usually 200 ohms). Then try higher scales. This scale is 0 to 200 ohms so if the device you are measuring is 300 ohms this scale would show an open circuit which it is not, you are just measuring outside the scale's dynamic range. There is a good STICKY at the start of this forum about it's use. Since the timer is running the door switch is probably OK. The most likely culprit would be the THERMAL FUSE (196 degrees) in the motor circuit.It is the one mounted on the blower assembly (Item 7 in "Section 3") If it is blown check that the blower is clean and OK. Also clean/check your vent system. |
