20 Most Recent Whirlpool LGR6611L Gas Dryer Questions & Answers

You seem to be able to troubleshoot, check and see if shaft is rotating on motor sometimes the bearing fails

follow this steps and fix it. God bless you1. No power to the dryer Make sure there's power getting to the dryer. Check for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses. An electric dryer uses two circuit breakers or fuses, and if only one of two is tripped or blown, the dryer might still run but not heat. Sometimes the power cord disconnects or burns at the dryer, if this is the case, the wiring and the terminal block must be repaired or replaced. 2. Heating element A burned out heating element will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Replace the element if found defective. 3. Thermal fuse Most dryers have a thermal fuse, which burns out when the dryer overheats, in which case the dryer will either not run at all or stop heating. The fuse is usually located on the vent duct, inside the dryer. A blown fuse will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Before replacing the fuse, make sure the blower wheel is not broken or clogged, and there is nothing blocking the venting.

Hi,

If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working properly.

if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip....

If you have an electric dryer, you can have many different things that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat.

check out this electric no heat tip...

heatman101

ok have u checked the hi and low relays for continuity these are both found aroundthat area as well and make sure you unplug yr machine before performing this test you also have an ignitor inside the unit which should be drawing 3.3 amps if it is lower then you should replace the ignitor hope this helps

1. Does the dryer light come on when you open the door? If so, it's likely the belt is broken. You will need to replace the belt.

2. No dryer light? it's likely then that the thermal fuse is blown. They are located in different places on different dryers. On Maytag and many Whirlpool dryers, it is located under the top, right next to the heating element with two white wires leading to it. You can test the fuse by bypassing it TEMPORARILY. If you connect the two wires together or make a jumper for them, (always shut the dryer circuit breaker off FIRST before attempting this) and the dryer magically comes alive (after you turn the circuit breaker back on) then you know what's wrong. Just changing the fuse is often not enough - you should find out why your dryer overheated. (poor airflow - blocked duct, etc)

I know it isn't much help but look for wear on the idler arm bracket, it will tell you which way it faces either up or down....then look for wear where the idler arm bracket hooks to the frame of the dryer....also you will look to where the spring attaches to the frame of the dryer when you attach it to the idler arm there will be a slight amount of wear where the spring attaches to the frame....

have you try to rotate the drum when belt is attached or installed, unplug your machine and try to spin it manualy at the back opening where you can access the mechanical part

try to use the belt when turning it counter-clockwise see if it will turn the drum, if not then the fproblem is the bearing

SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE RIGHT. EASIEST WAY TO TELL IS PRY UP THE TOP PANEL. 1ST REMOVE LINT FILTER AND 2 SCREWS BEHIND FILTER ON TOP PANEL.. GET A FLAT BLADE SREWDRIVER AND TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE TOP PANEL THEIR R 2 BLK CLIPS ONE ON EACH SIDE PUSH IN AND THAT SHOULD RELEASE THE CLIPS ONCE YOU GET THE TOP UP. LOOK AT DRIUM IF YOU DONT SEE A BLACK BELT GOING AROUND TUB THEN BELT IS BROKE. PART # 341241 SELLS FR ABOUT 15-28.99. WE STK IT. ITS A VERY COMMON BELT. SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET LOCALLY. IF YOU NEED IT WE HAVE THEM.

There are about seven different possiblities and the prospective solution in each case appears to be replacement of a different part! I suppose if you have the proper testing equipment for assessing each of those parts, you might be favored with a relatively inexpensive fix. I would be embarassed to suggest you replace all in sequence until the dryer works. Thermal Fuse: The thermal fuse is a safety mechanism that prevents the dryer from overheating. If it blows, the dryer won't heat. Check if the thermal fuse is intact and replace it if necessary. Cycling Thermostat: The cycling thermostat regulates the temperature inside the dryer drum. If it's faulty, the dryer may not heat properly. Consider checking and replacing the cycling thermostat. Igniter: The igniter is responsible for lighting the gas burner. If it's defective, the dryer won't ignite. Inspect the igniter for any signs of damage or malfunction. Gas Valve Coils: Although you've already replaced them, double-check the gas valve coils. Sometimes, even new parts can fail. Ensure they are securely connected and functioning correctly. Ventilation: Poor ventilation can lead to longer drying times and affect ignition. Make sure the dryer vent is clean and not obstructed. A clogged vent can cause overheating and affect ignition. Door Switch: The door switch ensures the dryer doesn't operate when the door is open. If it's faulty, the dryer won't start or heat. Verify that the door switch is functioning properly. Timer and Controls: Check if the timer advances correctly during the drying cycle. Malfunctioning controls can impact ignition. Inspect the timer and control board for any issues. Whirlpool Dryer WGD4800XQ1 - OEM Parts & Repair Help - PartSelect.com

A "F4E4" (Low or No Line Voltage) code indicates there may be a problem with your home power supply, keeping the dryer's heater from turning on. The dryer will continue to run when this diagnostic code is present. Touch any pad to clear the code from the display and return to the estimated time remaining.

Push to start relay switch. NOTE: If the dryer will not start check the thermal fuse before ordering start switch. The switch is often not the cause of the dryer failing to start. pull the knob off the switch the answer should be visible

possible bad motor

Never 'hit' the Start Button, always press it gently. It is part of the main control board. Whirlpool dryers can be reset by disconnecting the power from the wall socket overnight. Apart from that, you would need to disassemble it and check the Thermal Cut Out, the Thermal Fuse and the Thermostat with a digital multimeter.

wow, that is a tale of woe. Well E1 is definitely the thermistor, but you can check it with a multimeter. It may be a bad batch, or it could be the wiring. You should never replace components on guesses, fuses and elements are an easy test. The remanufactured board may also be at fault. The unscrupulous take them off machines, clean them and sell them on untested. https://www.google.com/search?q=E1+Error+on+Whirlpool+Duet+Dryer ..
