Whirlpool Cabrio Dryer moisture sensor not working

The heating element on my 3 year old Whirlpool Cabrio WGD7800XW dryer will not come on during any of the automatic (moisture sensing) settings, but dryer works fine using manual (timer based) settings. The vent duct seems fairly clean and exhaust air flows well, but no heat when using AccuDry.

SOURCE: LG DLG2524W DRYER WORKS FINE EXCEPT DOESN'T HEAT UP

1. Open dryer door and remove the phillips head screws at the 5 and 7 O'Clock positions. 2. Remove three screws at very back, allowing top cover to be moved back about an inch and lifted off. 3. remove screw at top left and top right from front top panel. 4. pull plastic front panel along top edge to release front top panel. (watch for sharp edges) 5. Swing top up and over onto top of dryer. 6. Unplug light and door switch. 7. remove four screws at top of large lower panel. 8. lift panel up a bit and off. 9. unplug sensor plug at bottom allowing panel with door to be set aside. 10. gas dryer has dime sized high limit thermostat on left front side of burner chamber. Has two wires on it, with a small pin in the center. Push the pin in. Reassemble and clean out vent, eliminating flexible venting, replacing with rigid aluminum piping and elbows. Outside vent should have a four inch vent flap opening, not just a two inch if it is that style.

Whirlpool LTE6234DQ3 stacked washer-dryer

If your Whirlpool LTE6234DQ3 dryer is not drying clothes properly on the automatic/permanent press cycle, there are a few parts that may be causing the issue: Moisture Sensor: The dryer's moisture sensor detects the level of moisture in the clothes and adjusts the drying time accordingly. If the sensor is dirty or faulty, it may not be able to accurately detect the moisture level, resulting in clothes not drying properly. Try cleaning the sensor with a soft cloth and see if that resolves the issue. Thermostat: The dryer's thermostat regulates the temperature inside the drum. If the thermostat is faulty, it may not be able to regulate the temperature properly, leading to clothes not drying properly. A multimeter can be used to test the thermostat for continuity. Heating Element: The heating element is responsible for generating heat in the dryer. If the element is faulty, the dryer may not be able to generate enough heat to properly dry clothes. A multimeter can be used to test the heating element for continuity. Ventilation: Poor ventilation can also lead to clothes not drying properly. Make sure the dryer's venting system is clean and free of blockages. It is recommended to have a professional technician inspect and diagnose the issue if you are not comfortable with checking and replacing these parts yourself.

Dryer gets hot, but not drying clothes

Check the following areas thoroughly to address this issue.


1. Venting
Make sure the dryer vent hose, as well as the rest of the vent duct, is not clogged.

Unless regular maintenance is performed, chances are there is a lot of lint accumulated inside the dryer. This might affect the drying time and could be a fire hazard. Make sure to have your dryer cleaned regularly. Because this might involve taking most of the dryer apart, it is recommended to have a qualified appliance repairman perform this task.

2. Thermostat
There are a couple of cycling thermostats inside the dryer. If one of them breaks down, it might affect the dryer's performance. Replace the defective thermostat.

3. Heating element
A heating element might only be partially burned out, in which case it would still work but will take longer time to dry the clothes. Replace the element if found defective.


4. Moisture Sensor
Most units will have a moisture or dryness sensor as well that will fail. inspect the sensor for faults. replace if necessary.

The heat on our 2 year old Cabrio dryer just stopped working for no apparent reason. Everything but the heat appears to be functioning normally. Help!

Thermostat controls heat. There is also a motor centrifugal switch, in the element circuit, that the motor closes to insure the motor is turning. Try another heat setting. There is more than one thermostat. You may have blown the 'thermal fuse' too, which requires replacement.
It is possible that your element has failed also.

Tripped high limit. Must clean the lint filter and the exhaust vent tube and all the way in to the dryer. Hot air exit is restricted.
