Whirlpool Dryer WED7300XW0 No heat or not enough heat

PRO FIX: Whirlpool WED7300XW0 Dryer No heat or not enough heat

27% of the time Heating Element Connecting Wire

My dryer was not heating.

I went on YouTube and looked for this issue. I found an video stating the heating coil might be out and how to test it with a multimeter. I followed the instructions on removing the bottom panel and another piece to get to the heating coil. I had to remove the two leads going to the heating coil. When I went to remove the second one, it just severed, with one end just hanging and the other piece still connected to the heating coil terminal. I removed the wire to have a look and it looked like it burnt or melted. I read online that this could happen if there is a loose connection between the wire and the heating coil terminal. So I knew the wire was definitely the problem or at least part of the problem. I went to the Sears Parts and Service center for the wire and they did not have it. I figured I could try Home Depot or Lowes to get the right gauge wire and the terminals and just make what I needed, but they didn't have the right terminal connector. (There are different size terminal connectors on either end of the wire and Lowes only carried the small one. Same with OSH). At this point I just called a repairman, but decided to keep looking online. Finally when I made my search less specific about my make and model of dryer, I ran across another repair site stating exactly what I was looking at with a link to AppliancePartsPros.com. They had exactly what I needed with a little video showing exactly what I needed to do. I did put a rush on the wire to beat the repairman who was scheduled to come out a week later. I wanted to see if the new wire would fix the issue or if my heating coil was also out. I ordered the wire on Friday expecting to get it on Tuesday because I ordered it after 5PM EST, and it was a weekend, but surprisingly I got it Sunday. I made the repair, turned on my dryer with the cover still off and I was able to see my heating coil light up. I let it run for about 5 minutes and sure enough the dryer was heating up again. It maybe took me 20 - 30 mins to fix, and that was because I needed to cut and strip off the end of the "melted" wire and splice it with the new one. It took a little turning and elbow grease to get the stealth off the "melted" wire. Once that was done, everything went just like the video. The part cost me $5 or $6 bucks, the rush was about $20. Just for the repairman to show up was going to be $89. Needless to say I called off the appointment. I just kept it as a backup in case I couldn't fix it myself. I am extremely happy I found AppliancePartsPros.com.

The heating element wire of my dryer had oxidized and crumbled apart and was no longer connected

I bought a new wire, clipped off the damaged portion of the old one, and tethered the new and healthy portion of the old wire together.

217

Heating element connection wire was bad

Once I discovered the problem, I went on line, narrowed down the part I needed, watched the repair video and decided to fix it myself. Simple fix, inexpensive part and the entire repair cost a grand total of $15.96. Did I mention I am an over 50 year old woman with no prior experience repairing appliances! Sure beats the cost of replacing with a new or a used dryer. Can you say... S-U-C-C-E-S-S! My ancient Whirlpool dryer now works like a charm!

88

Dryer was producing no heat.

Looked at videos on youtube on troubleshooting the 'dryer no heat' problem, I opened up the front of the dryer and spotted a broken wire running to the heater element. ( I also checked the heating element just to be sure it was ok and it was ) Ordered part (and got it the next day!!!!! ) and installed it.

The dryer not heating up despite having power
Intermittent heating, suggesting a loose or faulty connection
Unusual smells or signs of burning, indicating overheating or damage to the wire

E 1 error code

Ordered thermister after watching YouTube video. Part arrived in just 2 days. Repair went just as depicted on video. Easy fix. Hoping it corrects the problem.

71

No heat

Had a power failure when dryer was being used. Dryer was still running but not heating. Used a multimeter to discover that there was no continuity in this part. Ordered the part and received it within 48hrs. Took less than 2 min to replace the part. Praise the Lord, it now works like a charm!

70

My Cabrio dryer was not getting hot to dry clothes

Per Assistance from AppliancePartsPros I was able to get the Thermister part now my Dryer works great!

63

No heat with clothes dryer

I watched a couple of YouTube videos on what to do when your dryer won't heat, I then went online to AppliancePartsPros.com, Ordered the parts, installed them, it worked and now I am a hero in my Wife's eyes. Feels great. The service and support I received from AppliancePartsPros.com was absolutely outstanding! Best online experience ever. I can't wait for another appliance to fail and I get to be a hero again (not really). Thanks.

58

Cycle finished before drying or dryer got too hot!

Replaced the thermistor. Actual time taken was more related to getting bolts back in than anything else. Actual repair was easy with right tools and the how-to videos are outstanding. I am not the handiest person but, with the help of Appliancepartspros.com, I have now fixed both my washer and dryer myself at a much lower cost than calling back the authorized repair guy (who couldn’t fix it for me last time!). I paid less for parts than the cost of a service call. Love this site.

The Thermistor is an OEM part for Whirlpool brand dryers. It is a temperature-sensing resistor that monitors air temperature changes during the drying cycle. The thermistor provides feedback to the control board on heating element performance and internal air condition.

Symptoms of a failed thermistor include:

Inaccurate temperature readings and selections
Improper or incomplete drying
Safety issues from overheating due to lack of feedback
Error codes displayed on the control panel

Causes can be related to normal wear and environmental exposure over time. Failure prevents the dryer from achieving optimal drying conditions.

This genuine Whirlpool thermistor replacement restores precise air temperature monitoring. It ensures the control board receives accurate input to effectively regulate heating levels. This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

23% of the time Dryer Heating Element

Heating element gone bad.

I called the Sears Home Services repair service thinking a reputable company would be trustworthy. The repairman quoted me $380 for the replacement of the heating element. I told him the entire Whirlpool dryer costs $600 and the repair cost was unreasonable and he offered me a 20% discount. I ended up ordering the part from appliancepartspros.com for $88 and replacing it myself by following their online video. Taking pretty much the entire dryer apart did make me a little nervous, but I finished the job in +/- 1 1/2 hours and saved myself $300!

69

Dryer wasn't producing warm air

Replaced the heating element. Our local appliance repair shop suggested starting with the heating element, my husband took apart our dryer (after watching a video) and tested the element, it was bad. We purchased a new one from Appliance Parts Pros, had it sent overnight, and it was fixed the same day we got the new element.

66

The heating element

Took off the back of the dryer. Disconnected the "Air Duct Assembly (Part Number AP6008287)" from the Heating Element housing. Turned the Dryer around. Took off the lower front panel and removed the one screw left holding it into place. Unplugged the Heating Element housing and removed it. Once the element housing was out, very easy to replace element without disturbing the drum or anything else in the dryer. Tested all of the components for continuity (Thermal Cutoff, Thermostat, old element, new element). All good except old element. Replaced old element with new element. Put it back together and working like a charm!! (FYI original problem... Clogged dryer duct to outside of the house backed up lint into dryer and burned up element.)

61

Dryer not heating heating element burnt out

Disassembled dryer according to instructions hidden under the control panel. Used ohm meter to test for continuity in Thermal Fuse, Thermistor and Heating Element. Only the Heating Element did not have continuity. Ordered new element from AppliansPartsPros.com on Sunday night, $90 plus tax and shipping = $99. Part arrived around 9am on Tuesday morning via FedEx. Never received a mail order part so fast before. Installed element and reassembled dryer. It was working again that night.

58

Dryer would not heat and en l2 error code would be displayed

Turns out the heating element burnt out. Lint seems to have gone past the lint catcher and some of it lit up as I found some charred lint. The amount of heat broke the element.

Symptoms of a faulty element include:

Inability to reach or maintain desired drying temperature
Wet or damp clothes after full cycles
Potential safety issues if element overheats
Dryer not working or requiring excess cycles to dry

This OEM Whirlpool replacement element is also compatible with Kenmore, Maytag, Amana and Whirlpool brands.

16% of the time Thermal Fuse (disposable, One Time Fuse)

Dryer stopped working.

Found a U-tube video to diagnose the problem. So I had an excuse to buy an inexpensive Multimeter to check electrical continuity. Thermal fuse was dead. Ordered a thermal fuse from you guys. It arrived in 2 days! Worked out great.

138

The dryer panel had power but after you select your settings, you would hear a single click when pressing the start button but it would not start

Removed the bottom panel and cleaned out all the lint build up then found the thermal fuse. I pulled the terminal leads from the fuse and taped the leads together for TESTING PURPOSES ONLY and found the dryer did now start as normal. Removed the fuse and checked resistance with an ohm meter and verified fuse was blown. While it was apart I went ahead and removed the lint trap and cleaned that all out. Once I received the new fuse put it all back together and works good as new.

81

Dryer wouldn't start

Contacted AppliancePartsPro by chat - on a Sunday. Seems as though every-time you have a problem with an appliance, it will happen on the weekend and trying to get a part or a local repairman is impossible. Ordered the part thru the chat, received it within 3 days and with their video, repaired the dryer in 1/2 hour - saved over $100.00 by doing it myself. Received excellent service and advice. Great company.

75

Kenmore elite he3 dryer wouldn't start

Using the descriptions on the website we were able to narrow down the problem to the thermal fuse. Ordered the part and had it repaired in 2 days.

3% of the time Moisture Sensor Bar

Dryer stopped drying much too soon.

Purchased set of humidity sensors. Very easy install. Ordered before 4 pm and received around noon next day. Unbelievable fast !

170

Dryer was shutting off before clothes were totally dry

Looked at repair manual that was inside the bottom of dryer (intended for technician). Followed a few simple test instructions for that problem and it said the moisture sensor bar was not working. $7 part. It has two bars so we replaced both. Parts came in a couple days. Simple installation. Dryer working like new for about $25 w/shipping.

165

Whirlpool duet dryer moisture sensor

I watched the video which was explicit and straight forward about how to do the repair. Just be careful when you unhook the two wires as they want to fall down into the space which has very little access. I was able to remove the inner filter cover and use a piece of wire to retrieve the wires and plugs so not too bad after all. If I had to do it over I would not remove both plugs just the black wire, remove the sensor and replace it,re-attach the black wire and finish mounting the filter frame.

87

Moisture sensor bars went bad

I stumbled across appliance parts prod by accident and I'm happy I did. I love that they had a video attached to the past I needed detailing the diy repair. Great idea and saved me money. Thanks guys

80

Dryer would signal clothes were dry prematurely

Looked on the Internet and learned that the dryer had moisture sensors that sometimes went bad. Found the parts at appliance parts pros.com. Was pleasantly surprised with how quickly the parts arrived. Ordered on Thursday and the parts delivered the very next day using their standard shipping. Outstanding service! And the parts fit perfectly. Now my dryer works like it used to 15 years ago.

The Moisture Sensor Bar is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is a component located inside the dryer drum that senses the moisture level of clothes during tumble drying cycles. The moisture sensor bar utilizes sensors or probes to gauge how dry clothes are getting and signals the dryer to shut off once clothes reach the desired dryness level selected by the user.

Symptoms of a bad moisture sensor bar include:

Dryer failing to shut off automatically at the end of cycles, leaving clothes over-dried
Cycles taking excessively long to complete
Dryer not sensing moisture levels properly to allow automatic ending of cycles

Causes of a faulty moisture sensor bar are usually due to normal wear and tear over time. Dust or lint buildup can also affect its ability to provide accurate readings.

This OEM replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

2% of the time Thermal Cut Off

No heat.

Ordered the thermal cut-off kit. Cleaned out the lint build-up over the years too. The dryer works better than it has in the past.

89

No heat.

I OPENED UP THE CABINET AND DID A CONTINUITY TEST ON THE HEATING COIL, FUSE, THERMOSTAT, AND HIGH TEMP THERMOSTAT. THE THERMOSTAT CIRCUIT WAS OPEN. WHEN I WENT TO ORDER IT, THEY ADVISED ME TO GET THE KIT WITH THE THERMOSTAT AND THE HIGH TEMP CUTOFF. I INSTALLED THEM AND BINGO! NOW I'M A DRYER EXPERT! THIS W.AS TOO EASY

77

With your help figured out it was the thermostat

First, I had to take almost the whole dryer apart as I couldn't find YouTube video on my exact dryer. Checked continuity on thermostat, and it failed. Check all the other electric devices, including the heater element and all were okay. Putting it back together was a little tricky as I did not take any notes when I took it apart. I do have a couple screws left over, cn't find where they could go, but all is running fine.

This can reduce the lifespan of your dryer and increase the risk of fire. The thermostat also ensures that the dryer generates enough heat for effective operation.

Always disconnect power before initiating repairs. This high-limit thermostat and thermistor assembly is located on the heating element housing. The thermistor should read around 50k to 60K ohms at room temperature. Tools needed for replacement include a 5/16th socket or nut driver, and a quarter-inch socket or nut driver. The Dryer Thermostat is compatible with select Whirlpool and Maytag dryer models.

Terminal and Wire Kit

Fried terminal block

My daughter moved into a new home. During the move the dryer cord terminal screws somehow went missing and her brother in law substituted regular screws that worked but did not make a secure connection. Eventually after a power outage when power was restored the power surge was more than the substitute screws could handle and it melted some wires. The kit that I ordered made a safe and a properly secured repair. Suzanne took the order and was a tremendous help in getting the correct repair part. Excellent technical and customer support by Suzanne!
