Kenmore Elite HE3 Dryer: Check lint filter light is blinking and dryer won't run.

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 19:38:14 -0700

No matter which setting I choose , the check lint filter light starts flashing and the dryer won't start. I have reset the breaker, unplugged the dryer, cleaned out the filter and the vent in the back. An answer on another of this question said to check the heat sensor which I will do. Is there anything else to check for?

WED8740DW1: I am experiencing a No Heat Condition -- This is what I have done...

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 14:34:59 -0700

I have performed a lot of the basic troubleshooting steps and I am still stumped.

Here is what I have done, so far:

I have vacuumed out the interior of the dryer, as well as the blower, blower housing, exterior vent exiting the dryer, the flexible duct, the rigid duct leaving the house. All collected from this lint was no more than golf ball-sized.
I have continuity on the thermal fuse.
I have continuity on the thermostat on the heating element housing.
I have continuity on the heating element itself.
I have replaced the thermistor as a precaution.
I have replaced the control board as a precaution.
I have tested the incoming power at the outlet, I have 120v from center to both legs and have 240 between both legs.
I have set a timed-dry cycle and dryer operated and completed the cycle successfully, with no error messages. And no heat.

I am open to any and all valid ideas to get this dryer to work correctly.

Thanks in advance!

Bosch Dryer: Keeps saying the water tank is full

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 04:41:54 -0700

My dryer keeps saying the water reservoir is full, even though it is empty. If I restart the cycle it will work for a couple of minutes and stop again. What is the sensor that is sending this message? And where is it located? TIA

Maytag dryer: Thermal fuse keeps going out on Maytag electric dryer

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 18:48:38 -0700

The thermal fuse on my Inglis Maytag dryer keeps blowing. With the fuse out, the element still gets heated, but the dryer doesn’t spin. I replaced the fuse and the dryer worked for a good 30 mins and then it stopped. Again, i replaced the fuse thinking there was something wrong with the fuse, and it worked for a good 20 mins and stopped.

Can someone tell me what the problem could be?

HI Mayer, that’s exactly the type of fuse I used. Based on the information provided, do you think the issue is with the heating element (it turns on very hot soon as i plug in, even with the fuse out), the thermostat, or something else ?

Kenmore Dryer: Kenmore 600 dryer won't start. Door switch?

Mon, 25 May 2026 12:30:50 -0700

I have an old Kenmore 600 series dryer, model#110.78632700. It is at least 10 years old, and could be a lot older.

It suddenly won't turn on. My first thought it might be the door switch, but the door switch is faulty but kind of works. Let me explain. If I open the dryer door and press w the metal tab on the upper right of the door, the interior light will come on, but it comes on unreliably. I have to fiddle with that metal tab, and after several attempts, the interior light will come on. My point is that the interior light does NOT come on reliably, but the interior light will come on.

So since the interior light does kind on unreliably, does this mean that the door switch is working? Or does this mean that the door switch has failed and needs replacement? Or is it something else?

I only ask this question because I don't want to order a new door switch and replace the door switch if there is no chance this will fix the problem - the problem that the dryer won't turn on anymore.

Oh, one last thing. Something specific happened when the dryer stopped starting. My wife was drying some sheets and stopped the dryer, so she could check the sheets. She did this mid-cycle. When she shot the front door and tried to start the dryer again, it would not start, and it has never started since then.

Dryer: Why does my thermal fuse keep blowing?

It blows once a month or about every 8-10 loads of laundry. If it's not an airflow issue what could it be?

Dryer: Why does my dryer keep blowing thermal fuses.

Tue, 19 May 2026 22:51:35 -0700

Dryer heater won't cycle on and off. Vents are clear because I can feel cold air from outside when dryer is off. I've also inspected ducts. Can a damaged blower wheel cause the cycling thermostat to fail or the thermal fuse to blow? Or both?

Maytag dryer: Dryer is not heating

Sat, 02 May 2026 08:11:14 -0700

I tested the thermomist, thermal fuse, thermastat, the coil, and the moisture sensors. All tests come back that the parts are good. So I replaced the control board, and the dryer worked for about 10 loads, and now it won't produce heat again. Is something frying my control board? If so, what would that be? Any ideas on how to fix my problem?
