Started getting nuisance "E-1" codes on my Whirlpool Duet drier. The service paperwork (in the machine) indicates a bad door switch or replace the electronic control. Anyone had to deal with this? If I need a control, does anyone know where I can purchase?

Thanks very much!

Thanks for the response. The complete model number is GGW9200LWO. I was going to remove the termistor to have a look and check its resistance (guess I could do that while it installed) though. Anyway in order to get to it I removed the filter housing. I found it over 50% blocked with lint! I now have a note to do that annually. I cleaned it up but the problem actually still exists. The machine works fine for a while but continues to develop the "E1" diagnostic on the readout. Once reset it can be restarted. I am assuming bad thermistor or bad board. Should I attempt to measure discharge air temperatures at different settings to see if temps are correct?

Thanks so much...........I am 62 years old and have NEVER had a repairman in my house (but that is getting more difficult each year!)....I appreciate your eagerness to assist. I will get the part on order this evening. Lastly, I found a complete .pdf download for my Duet washer manual.....does anyone know where I might link to one for the drier?

Thanks again...........later yesterday the A/C died in my car.....my troubles usually occur in "threes" so wish me luck!!!

On Time And Under Budget!!

One more thank you; my dryer is now back in service. The problem was the termistor, exactly as you called it. It was a bit baffling at the beginning because the dryer still functioned; it would only quit after a half hours use. Tricky devices, those termistors! Lesson learned.

no heat for my GGW9200LWO so thanks for putting up the manual.
