Sometime over the last year my dryer stopped running to completion when set in auto mode. As far as I can tell the manual or timed dry still works fine.
When placed into diagnostic mode, I all lights come on and I get "88" in display.
When I open the door, I get a beep and 88 turns to "3E".
If I put a moistened finger across the sensor strips, I get "02" (manual on-line says it should be "03").
Have searched on line and found statements saying all of this is normal to there could be a short or need of new circuit board.
Also, I get a beep with each setting of the selection knob as LED turns off, or back on if already off.
Sometimes I see "E3" flash when pushing the temperature button, but if I don't hold it down, the code only flashes in less than a second. Other times I get just a beep and no "E3" code.
Do you have any idea as to whether any of these findings point to an actual problem that would cause the dryer to turn off before the cloths are dry?

Here are your parts Parts for Whirlpool GEW9200LW1 Dryer - AppliancePartsPros.comSee the attachment for the tech sheet. I do not know what manual you are using but the 03 error looks like an electronic error. I would try cleaning the connectors which run between the boards. Connector Cleaning / Checking Unplug the unit Open it up Remove the ribbon cable from the keypad to the control board at the control board. Clean the edge connector. Use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol. If it is the type where there is not a connector just the insulation is removed, it can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Do not use an ink eraser as it is too abrasive. Check the tracks in the ribbon cable for hairline cracks. A magnifying glass helps here. Would not hurt to clean the connector on the board. Use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush. Be gentle and do not reconnect till all the solvent evaporates. Reconnect everything and give it a try. |
