The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate.

Our dryer is only 6 months old and the af light keeps coming on while the dyer is running.
For model number MEDB855DC4
Hello Rose, thank you for your question. An AF (Restricted Air Flow) error code indicates that the lint screen or vent is clogged; the vent may be crushed, kinked or have too many turns in it going from the dryer to the outside vent. We would recommend checking the lint filter, and venting tube to be sure there are no restrictions. I hope this helps.

When rotating selector knob mode lights randomly jump around. Unable to select a specific function. When jiggling selector knob mode lights also jump around.

Hello Ted, thank you for writing. Your issue sounds like there may be an electrical issue. The Main Harness is part PS12346174. We have a video on how to use a multimeter to test the wiring. We are pleased to have been able to help.
Wouldn’t dry. Replaced heating element since that tested bad. Fuse and thermostat tested ok. Still won’t dry. What’s next? Can new thermostat kill other parts after tested good or did I miss something else?

Hi Keith, thank you for the question. Since you have tested and replaced some of the most common parts, you may need to check the thermistor, part number PS11746740, which monitors the temperature of the burner or heater housing and will shut off the heat once a sufficient temperature is reached. If the thermistor is faulty, the dryer may not heat at all and you may need to replace this part. We hope this is what you were looking for!
Dryer not heating. What do I need to take off to test. Do I need to take the the top off or back off first
For model number MEDB855DC4
Hello David, thank you for your inquiry. Check the Heating element PS11741416 as well as the Thermostat, Internal-Bias PS11746740. Both have videos to show how to get in and replace. We hope this helps.
Remove the kick plate from the bottom of the dryer by sliding a putty knife along the top edge to release the plastic clamps, one on each side about 4" in from the edges. The kick plate folds out and down. You will see the heat shield on the right, held in by one hex head screw. Remove screw and heat shield. The element is positioned in a

Remove the hex-head screws that hold the element in place and disconnected the two wires by pulling them out by hand or with needle nose pliers. The only difficulty here is the cramped working area...I recommend a stubby socket driver for these two screws. Most of this I had to do by feel because I could not see the screw heads. Once the screws are out and the wires have been disconnected, slide the old element straight out toward you. You may need to disconnect a small plastic hose located to the left front of the element, but this hose just pulls right off. Vacume the dust & lint build-up out of the whole area, wipe out the element housing and clean up the whole underside of the dryer prior to installing the new element. Installation is reverse of removal. It also might be a good opportunity to clean out your exhaust duct and the vent to the outside. (Never use the aluminum foil-accordian-type duct.) If the exterior dryer vent has any kind of screen over it, remove it and get rid of it. Screens collect lint, lint builds up and burns out elements.
The issue was the idler pulley. First I began opening up the front panel based on a youtube video but soon realized the model was slightly different and required a lot more items to remove. I saw the pulley in the back with nothing in the way so I put the front panel crap back on and removed the rear panel. There it was, very simple to re

I purchased the dryer repair kit with the drum belt, wheels and idler pulley. I watched the instructional videos online and it seemed fairly straight forward. Breaking down the dryer and replacing the pulleys was easy enough. My problem began when I tried to feed the drum belt around the idler pulley. After finishing the job, the dryer wo

Finally I figured out that the drum belt was not installed correctly around the idler pulley. However, I could not get it properly installed from the front of the machine so I tried from the rear still with no avail. I finally had to fish the old belt out of the garbage can that I had thrown away earlier. I lined up the old belt with the new one in the kit and discovered that the new belt was much smaller, so I put the old one back on the drum. Here's the lesson I learned...make sure the belts are the same size before attempting to install. The old idler was responsible for the squeaking and that stopped but I am still using the same old drum belt. Hope it lasts.
