Sensor and computer replaced yet check vent light still comes on. Dryer is 2 yrs old. This is why components were replaced
Did you clean the exhaust duct from end to end?
Some of these have a two-belt system where the second belt turns a fan blade that resides in a plastic housing beneath the drum... the pulley will come loose and fall off sometimes which can cause this error... Help Me Find My Model Number RepairClinic com

I'm trying to replace the motor from my Whirlpool Cabrio (WED6400SW1) dryer. The motor is impossible to remove from the blower. I can't break the motor away without stripping the plastic blower nut that connects to the two. What do you recommend I do at this point. I'm thinking that I should try to seperate the two by cutting the plastic connection and order a new blower fan.

There are two thermistors (thermal sensors) in this dryer; one is the outlet thermistor located on the blower housing and the other is the inlet thermistor located on the heating element housing as an integral part of the high-limit thermostat.
These thermistors are negative coefficient type and monitors the dryer temperature on their locations according to their resistance which varies inversely with the temperature. The resistance drops as the temperature rises and rises as temperature drops.
One or both of the thermistors has an open connection or high resistance which makes the electronic control board thinks that the dryer temperature is low no matter how high it is. The electronic control board then doesn't cycle the heater relay and continue to turn on the heating element. The dryer temperature continues to rise and this blows the thermal fuse.
Make sure the thermistors are connected snugly. Remember that loose or open connection means high (infinite) resistance which makes the electronic control thinks of low dryer temperature. Measure the resistance of each thermistor then refer to the tables below. Replace the thermistor if the resistance reading doesn't comply with the table.

Hello
& Welcome to FixYa AF means air flow and this
error indicates that dryer air flow is restricted. Run the dryer for 5-10
minutes. Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check air
movement. If the air movement is less than a hair dryer on high speed, clean
the lint from the entire length of the system and exhaust hood, also check the
outside exhaust duct. If the problem is still there after doing all this then
recommended repair will be to use warranty as opening this unit voids warranty.
Please
get back to me if you have any other questions. Kevin
