I am a new member here and have a Whirlpool dryer that spins but generates no heat. The timer works if placed in the "Air Fluff" position, but otherwise it does not move in any other "heat" setting. I have read some of the messages here and see that this might be a fixable problem.

However, to be exactly sure, could someone direct me to the specific dis-assembly and testing thread for this particular model # or, otherwise kindly direct me on how to go about diagnosing the specific malfunctioning part on this unit? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi.

First you need to check the timer Part number: 3976580
Part number: 3976580


Use the video clip for the instructions.

Remove one black wire from the timer motor contact and check the resistance. If you read no continuity - then replace the timer.
If not - set the timer to AUTO-REG and check continuity between TM-WB, BK-BU, BK-R, T-W. If any of them are open - replace the timer.
You also should check hi-limit, operating thermostat and thermal fuse for continuity. All of them are at the back of the dryer.

Fuse Part number: 3392519

Hello Simon, thanks for your response to my post, have been under the weather over here the last couple of days. You directed that I "use the video clip for the instructions", but I do not see any video clip or link to one. Please clarify.

Simon,
Thank you so much for your assistance. My dryer is once again putting out heat! The instructions and videos were right on the money.
