Technical manual summary
Service manual W11169659 covers Whirlpool and Maytag 27-inch front-load gas and electric dryers. It distinguishes console controls from controls in the door, then explains service diagnostics, recorded faults, component testing and disassembly. The appropriate control design matters before applying a service-mode sequence.
This manual describes F1E1 as a motor or heater failure or connector problem, with no voltage detected at the heater relay. F3E1 covers an open or shorted exhaust thermistor, including a possible connector issue. These descriptions do not, by themselves, establish which part has failed.
The heat-system tests cover failure to heat and heat that will not shut off. The surrounding sections discuss wiring, thermal protection, temperature sensing and moisture sensing. These are technician procedures. The foreword says its wiring diagram is a training example and directs service personnel to the diagram supplied with the dryer.
Whirlpool/Maytag front-load dryer family reference. Exact WED5620HW2 revision coverage has not been confirmed; use the appliance’s own wiring diagram and technical sheet.
