My Whirpool Duet Gas Dryer 9200lw1 is acting a little funny. A month ago, was the first time the problem occured. Dryer completed drying a load. I put another load in, pushed Start, LEDs on, selected cycle and tried to adjust drying level and time but nothing registered. Pushed Pause/Cancel and nothing happened, when I spun the function dial, it would change cycles but you could not adjust anything else. Also, machine would not start the cycle selected. I tried unplugging and plugging back in. That didn't work. So i gave up and came back in 2 hours. Machine worked fine. It's been working fine for a month, but the same problem came back today.

I called Whirpool. They said it sounds like a control panel problem. Machine is out of warrranty, so they recommended a repair tech. I haven't called a tech yet. If the problem is a faulty control panel, can I repair it myself?


Thank you,

Denman,

Thanks for the manuals. This afternoon I removed the lint trap cage and discovered lint stuck between the two blades of the underside of moisture sensor, where the connectors are attached. Could this be the culprit? Maybe the lint says wet and completes the circuit. Although the dryer usually stops when the load is dry, never over drying.


I'll try the diagnostics this weekend, if removing the lint does not work.

Thank You,

Maurice
