We have a Whirlpool LER7648PQ0 Electric Dryer. It worked fine 2 days ago, we moved it into our new house and can't get it to start. Has proper incoming power, light inside works, timer works (when you set it to the beginning of a cycle and push the start button, the knob rotates as if it's running) .... doesn't turn on (rotate or heat) though.

SOURCE: dryer runs...timer wont rotate and wont heat up

Good day,
Timer woun't run if there is n heat.
1. Check to see you are getting 230 volts to the machine. The motor uses only 115 so is not a good indication.
2. Remove back cover. You will need an ohm meter to test the components.
A. In the center bottom is a skinny white bakelite device held on with one screw. Remove one wire and check. It should check zero ohms. If not replace.
B. On the bottom right is a canister with the heating element terminals sticking out. They should test at 30 or less ohms. If not replace the heating element.
C. There are about 3 other limit thermostats in the area you're working. They should all check at zero ohms. Replace as needed.

Below is a tutorial on changing a heating element.

Why does my electric dryer shuts off after being on after a few minutes how do I fix it?

This has the potential for being something simple. Moving sometimes causes us to shove things up or into places and you COULD CONCEIVABLY have something keeping the motor from turning the tub. This buzzer could also be a warning device telling you there's something improper in your outlet . . maybe a blockage. If it worked beore you moved, it's less likely that you have a serious problem, but probably WILL have if you don't look into it right away.

My Whirlpool clothes dryer model GEW9200LW0 stopped drying completely. The drum turns but no heat. It began slowing down the heating process approx. 2 years ago. Any suggestions?

Electric Dryer Does Not Heat
  • If your Whirlpool electric dryer is having trouble heating, you should check all of the thermostats, the thermal cut-off, all fuses and the electric heating element for continuity and proper connection.

Will not heat up

Check power to the outlet. There could be a breaker tripped, or as I found in a recent call, the outlet was actually miswired.

Dryer clicks when start button pushed but does not start.

A quarter was lodged on the thermal fuse , located below the lint screen on the blower exhaust housing, on our dryer. Remove the front lower panel , 2 screw, and you'll see 2 fuses. I suspect that our control board is burnt.
