If you actually read the previous posts you'll see the part about a service manual inside the cabinet. It's a good thing to have. But short answer -- take of the kick panel under the door and it's right there.

My dryer will only work for 10 - 15 minutes on the automatic cycle then shuts off. It has never given an error code it just goes from drying to cool down then shuts off. It has been working on the manual cycle but takes a long time to dry. I just bought a new vent hose since the old one had some built up lint. I do have the Owners Manual and Installation Book and the Repair Parts List Book with the model number 110.828.22101. The Parts List book gives me a dissection of the dryer. From what little I have found on blogs and such, could it be the thermistor?

Do you have the signal turned on?

On some models a problem may be signaled by the end of cycle signal rather than displaying an error code. If you have that signal turned off, you would miss such a notice.

You replaced the venting from the dryer right to the outdoors or just from the dryer to the wall?

If just to the wall someone should look into cleaning the *whole vent length* (see the following link). Do NOT put off such a cleaning as it could be a fire hazard!

I have the same issue as the first post, an E-1 Error code, and a short dry time, about 10-15 min.

Model # is 110.82826102

Is the fix the same as the first post? Close in model number, but thought I'd ask.

Seemed simple enough, great explainations and answers.

Thanks

"E1" on that model dryer does also indicate an open thermistor, yes.

Thanks for the help, I was struggling with the same code. When I pulled out the dryer, I found the vent pipe pointed down with the first elbow, then turned upward, tightly, with flex pipe. Then up 3 feet to the exit point with one more elbow. I think this caused too much restriction of the air flow. Like a drain trap in plumbing. Crazy, no?
