My Whirlpool dryer started acting up a few weeks aga. It will not run on the timed drying setting nor will it run on the very dry/ towels setting. This means that after starting the dryer I must come bak and re start it at least once or twice to dry a load.:mad: :confused:

Did you mean it takes longer time to dry a load or it stops before the cycle is done?

Gene - Mine too stops before the cycle is done, and only runs when the timer is set to the energy preferred position

About a year ago I replaced both the timer and solenoid coils. Last week I replaced both the Dyer Driver motor and blower wheel, because I thought that was the problem.

Thanks again

Sounds like the problem is a bad cycling thermostat which is located on the blower housing.

- The cycling thermostat Part number: 3387134

Gene - I got back from vacation, ordered the part and just installed it. However, the machine will still only start in the energy preferred position. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

It would not start or it would not heat in other positions?

Unplug the dryer. Open the control panel. Remove the wires from the "BU" & "BK" terminals at the timer. Check for continuity across these terminals with different timer settings. Post the results,

Gene.
