Dryers are one of the most used appliances at home. When the dryer stops working in normal mode - it must be repaired. Today we will talk about the problem of Kenmore 60222 - starts then stops. There could be many various issues from thermal fuse to dryer door switch. As usual to fix that problem you must check the electronic control board. It's difficult to pinpoint the control board as the source of a problem. So we recommend you to replace it by following our guide. Tools needed: 1/4-inch nut wrench, small slot screwdriver, vacuum, work gloves, ground strap (optional) and new electronic control board (manufacturers approved).
Unplug the dryer and shut off the gas. Slide the dryer away from the wall. On the back of the dryer, locate the two hex-head screws that secure the top panel to the frame. Remove the screws using a 1/4-inch nut driver. Pull the top panel back slightly to release the tabs behind the console. Pull the top panel up and off of the dryer. Take a digital picture of the wiring connections so you can connect the new control board correctly. Using a slot screwdriver, release the locking tabs from the wire connectors. Pull the wire harness plug from the connection receptacle on the electronic control board. Remove the single hex head screw with a 1/4" nut driver. Slide the electronic control board to release it from the support bracket slots. Set the electronic control board aside for disposal. Before removing the new control board from the package, touch the dryer's metal cabinet to dissipate static electricity. Position the new control board on the support bracket and push it into the mounting slots. Lock it into place so it lines up the mounting screw hole. Replace the mounting screw. Avoid overtightening by turning the screw with the nut driver until it stops and then give the screw one firm twist to snug it in place. Using your digital photo as a guide, connect the wires to the new electronic control board. Push the wire harness plug until its locking tab snaps into place. The plugs fit together only one way; if they aren't fitting together easily, reorient them. Never force the plugs into place. Place the panel on the top of the dryer and position it slightly away from the tabs behind the control panel. Push the panel forward to engage the tabs. Work the panel into place and replace the mounting screws at the back of the dryer. Turn on the gas supply to the dryer. Plug the dryer into the wall outlet.
Fixed. Now your dryer works like a new one. Feel difficulties during the process? You can contact our customer support team and arrange an appointment at the convenient time.
