This isn't a solution but i took the cover behind the lid off to acces the vent and never put it back,it gives you another 3/8" for the lid to lay back.

Underneath the top unit (the dryer) there should be a spring loaded catch that holds the door open. See if it is gummed up and stuck or possibly broken off.

I would try to run the dryer again. If that doesn't work, it's time to call the repairman.

Did the unit ever drain? If it did, has anything changed?

Make sure the drain hose in back has not pinched (unit slid backward against the wall, pinching the hose.).

Motor is two speed, and if it's not kicking to the high speed, then there may be a timer problem.

There may be coins stuck inside the tumbling vanes in the drum.

There is an EXTERNAL fuse on the back of the unit.

Service manual is inside the machine's shell in plastic.

It appears your pump has failed in this instance.

For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.
