Annoying dryer buzzer on the whirlpool thin twin

So it's been a while but im surprised that there is still consistent traffic to this blog.  You'd be surprised how many people want free breast pumps and hate that ionizer on the fellowes (winix) air purifier.

So if you live in a small place, chances are you may have one of the LTG variants of the Whirlpool Thin Twin Heavy duty washer/dryer stacked combo unit.  It's ideal for small areas such as between cabinets or most likely, in your closet somewhere. You also are probably reading this because it has an annoying buzzer at the end of any dryer cycle that ensures people in Africa is made aware that you need to reset your dryer (because it never dries the first time around). 

The following is how to disconnect the dryer buzzer on a LTG5243DQB Whirlpool "thin twin" washer dryer but it applies most of its cousins as well.

All you need is a needle nose plier.

So if you look at the front of the machine it looks something like this.  Washer in the  bottom, dryer up top with the front console in between, seated on the bottom of the dryer, and the transition panel in between in case, like i said before, you are inside a small closet and need to clean out your exhaust duct.

At any rate, you dont need to open that up, but it's there incase you didnt know. Its just held by those two screws on the top part of the panel.

So the front console control panel is held by tension clips.  There's nothing to unscrew to get to it.  If you crouch down to the washer level and look up, you see a bunch of screws.  Unplug your machine from the electrical outlet and let's go.

On the top right corner, you see the round screw that looks like you needs a hex bit to unscrew it?  There's two of them, one on each side, and it hold the console from flapping open (the bottom part is the hinge, and the console swings open from the top).

Thats actually your tension clip and you take your needle nose pliers, get a good grip in there and pull down all the way (you can use a lot of strength, you wont break it).  Then with your other hand, while you are still gripping the pliers and pulling down, pull open the top of the console.  Do this on each side.

It slides down like so.  On the other side, here's a picture of what you are pulling down (the black piece that im touching with the plier on the left side of the picture)  you are pulling that down against that spring so that the black bar retracts in and the whole console swing open.

It's open like so.

There's probably dust and hair in there from all your gunk, so take a vacuum and give it a quick cleaning while you're here.

On the right side, those little black boxes, is the bane of your existence.  The center module is the dryer buzzer.

 Just to be sure, you should see the part number.

 Mine was part 694419, and on amazon, it's listed as the annoying dryer buzzer.

At this point you can mark which is the left and right wire (i have this blog and these pictures so i can clearly see the left wire has more words faced up). Go ahead and yank the power wires out.

I wrapped the ends of my two black wires with electrical tape (so some freak dust hair doesnt go in, short it out and start a fire) and then taped the thing to the big clear tube so it doesnt flap about and then proceeded to close up the console. 

Just reverse your steps.  On each side, pull the clip down and push the console in.  The left side is much easier than the right, so start with the left and keep it aligned.

Voila!  no more waking the dead at the end of the dryer cycle.
