Kenmore Elite Oasis 6809 Electric Dryer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

You can usually use a putty knife on top front 2 corners, slide in and push against the tab. Pull the panel towards you at same time.

about $10.00 for the thermal fuse and 1 Hr Labor (my rate is $30.00 per hour) and a service call,rate depending on where you live

sounds as if your exhaust/air exit/lint thorough fare may be plugged-blocked or building up thus holding moisture in unit, You may wish to use a shop vac hose hooked to exhaust side of vacumn to force air thru lint clean out after removing lint screen and/or also make sure dryer has not been forced back into the wall thus crimping exhaust chute and perhaps check outside to see if exhaust vent flapper chute is clear of obstruction and also opening as dryer runs, Good Luck and keep an eye out-fire hazard if dryer overheats and is actually a blocked exhaust, take care.

if you haven't tried this,unplug the power or shut the circuit breaker off for 15 minutes,this may reset the defaults on the unit,if this doesn't help,then shut off power to the unit and open up unit and disconnect each and every connector to check for poor conduction,then reconnect power,if this doesn't help then replace the c.c.u. central control unit

F40 = thermal fuse blown.
If the fuse is OK the error points to a communication problem between the machine control board and motor control board (check connectors).

PF means power Failure unplug hold the cancel button for 3-5 seconds if the pf doesnt disappear then unplug the unit for 7 minutes this will make the control reset on the board if the pf still doesnt fade then you would have a control issue and most likely have to replace the control or call a technician if you have any further questions message me back and please remember to rank how this opinion has helped when our chat has fully concluded Thanks Rick

44 flashes if the motor control detects a low voltage condition.
This error code could also be caused by poor air flow, loose wiring harness or a malfunction of the electronic control board.

You can disconnect the vent hose from the back of the dryer & compare that airflow to the airflow at the outside damper, they should be almost the same.

If you have a multimeter and the ability to safely check the voltage at the dryer outlet, you can check for 120 volts at the outlet for the dryer.

If the voltage is low or drops when the dryer is running, this is causing your problem.
You could have a loose wiring connection.


If the outlet voltage is okay, you could have a wiring connection problem between the outlet and the control board of the dryer.

It happens when the door is slammed shut.

Sometimes it is not the owner's fault - as the latch and striker become misaligned with use.

not much more than a service call for 1 hour work.
Rates vary depending on location.

This symptom indicates a stuck key on the user interface control board.
Replacing this control board would most likely fix this type of problem.
The part number for the user interface for this model is 8564374.

You can order this part from SearsPartsDirect.com, RepairClinic.com, PartSelect.com etc.

The procedure for replacing this control board is shown in the images below.


Before buying any parts I suggest you access the interface ribbon and disconnect it and then connect it back and see if there is any improvement.


You might also remove the interface from the console and check the console for any stuck buttons.

Remember to unplug the washer first.

If your dryer is not drying like it once did or if you just have not taken the time to give yourself a clean dryer in a long time then you need to do that. At least once a year the dryer cleaning should take place. Lint build up in the dryer duct is one of the main causes for your dryer to fail.

Here is the rest of this tip about Dryer Maintenance

Fault code F40 is a communication error between the machine control and the motor control. Disconnect power then remove three screws from the rear of the console assembly and pull console towards the front of the dryer to hinge open and remove console. You'll see three electronic assemblies; the machine control electronics, the motor control electronics, and the user interface electronics.

Visually check the communication harness, the three-wire harness that connects between the machine control electronics and the motor control electronics. Make sure it is fully inserted into both electronic controls and the terminal connections are clean. Reseating the connections several times will help clean off dirt and corrosion build up.

Do the same with the the wire harnesses connected to the motor control electronic assembly. Make sure they are clean and fully inserted into the control. It is a good idea to do the same thing with all other wire harnesses in all of the electronic assemblies.

Your dryer should be on it's own independent circuit in your breaker box.
Check that first.
If you are getting Panel lights, but it is not starting, then yes, there is a thermal fuse on the machine that may have failed.
If the panel lights are not lit - it is more likely to be the main controller board that has failed.

Sometimes blower wheels will get loose in dryers. Sometimes they will get a whole lump of lint in them or you can hear a rattling noise in the dryer, this is the blower wheel, its worn out and it can cause the fuse to blow too,or it can half *** work and take fifty forever's to dry the clothes.Or it could be just that the dryer needs a good blowing out .I use a lawn blower to get all the lint out of the dryer as well as the vent pipe and vent to outside. I take the filter HOUSING out and wash it also. That is, I remove the housing and clean is good! Making sure that the dryer is properly flowing air is a good thing!

Sounds like the control board (clock control) is bad.

F-44 indicates a faulty blower motor controller. $169.00 from sears
or about $115.00 from an appliance parts store. Also note: the
service technicians repair guide is usually folded and tucked inside the top of the dryer console. It contains all the F codes and disassemble and reassemble and testing instructions. Part # for the service guide is (W10035270).

If your dryer seems to run forever, it could be because of a clogged vent or internal ductwork. Your dryer may have an automatic cycle that turns off the dryer when the clothes are dry. It does this with a special thermostat or moisture-sensing system.

Normally, this is what happens during an automatic cycle:

• The thermostat tells the dryer to heat until the interior of the dryer reaches a pre-set temperature--say 135 degrees.
  
  
• When the dryer reaches the pre-set temperature, the thermostat tells the timer to begin advancing. (If there's a moisture sensor, the timer advances only if the moisture content of the clothing is low enough.)
  
  
• The timer advances until the interior cools, then the thermostat tells the timer to stop advancing, and tells the dryer to start heating again.
  
  

This cycle continues until the clothes are dry. But…if the vent is clogged, the dryer may never reach the proper operating temperature, so it doesn't send the signal to the timer and the dryer continues to run indefinitely, even if the clothes are completely dry. To fix the problem, clean the vent and/or internal ductwork.

110.2808 is an incomplete model number. Motors are typically $140 to $180 USD https://www.easyapplianceparts.ca/PartInfo.aspx?inventory=334304&SourceCode=18 This is is a typical Kenmore model designation and is probably the matching washer to your dryer. Yours is missing 4 numbers. Label in the back, label on the door frame, mentioned on the manual.
