Technical manual summary
W10680138E starts with service preparation and diagnostic-mode access, then moves through component activation, fault retrieval and troubleshooting tests. Power availability and wiring connections are part of the service assessment. The control-button procedure should be used only after the sheet has been matched to the appliance.
This sheet labels F1E1 as a motor relay stuck on and associates it with the Appliance Control Unit (ACU). That wording differs from other Whirlpool sheets, so another model’s F1E1 description should not be substituted here. F3E1 covers an open or shorted exhaust thermistor and also directs attention to its connection.
Test 4 covers the heat system and distinguishes electric from gas dryer circuits. The thermal cut-off, high-limit thermostat, heater and temperature-sensing checks support diagnosis of heating faults. Airflow and vent restrictions remain part of the troubleshooting context. These are service-technician procedures, not instructions to replace a control board solely because a code appears.
The recovered reader file is W10680138E. Exact WED7000DW1 revision applicability remains under review. Verify the appliance’s tech sheet and control version before applying the fault table or component tests.
