Whirlpool gas dryer troubleshooting
Dryer is a Whirlpool GGQ9800LW1, about 20 years old. The belt broke, but the motor is also not spinning when it's turned on. No 60 hz hum either, and the armature spins freely when turned by hand.
The thermal fuse has continuity, and the door switch is fine -- turns on the light, and you can hear a relay click inside the control panel when you move the switch. Where do I start troubleshooting? I can get parts diagram online, but not a circuit diagram, apparently. Last edited by spdrun; 02-21-2017 at 09:24 PM. |

Check to see if there is voltage to the motor when there should be.

Thanks - fixed it. New belt did it -- there was a switch in the tensioner arm that shut the motor off if the belt broke.
I didn't expect a dryer to be so overdesigned. |
