Daewoo DWRWE5413 Dryer Questions & Answers
Can I change the door to open from the other side
Yes in Most "Modern" appliances you can mount the door to open either way. Depends on the Manufacturer. One way to see is look at the area around where the door opens. If you see "pre-drilled" holes either opened or sealed for the hinges, then yes. If No. You-a-outta-luck!

Heating element
Its most likely the element but if you want to make sure take the element out and do a continuity test on it. If there's no continuity then its the element
I have a Daewoo dryer it smells like smoke yesterday like something is burning help
Hi,
Have you cleaned-out the filters & do you regularly clear them.
All dryers have some kind of heating element in them & if the filters aren't cleaned after every session,
or if the dryer is in a confined space & it can suck-in it's own 'exhaust' air, dust & fluff will get into the machines internal workings & can settle on the heating element.
If you are able, remove any access-panels & use a vacuum cleaner to suck-up the accumulated dust & fluff.
If you are not able to do this yourself, get an engineer to service the machine
& then be wise enough to not let it happen again, by cleaning the filter after every use.
Best of luck.
Where can i buy a daewoo dryer heating element
A couple of places to look....
repairclinic.com
appliancepartspros.com
have a model # handy.... they too have chat and 800#s for questions or to confirm a part.
Hope this helps a little. If they don't have they more than likely will steer you in the right direction.
Cheers
I have the heat element start to heat up but after it turns red it shut back off
ELECTRIC Dryer no heat or little heat, or shuts down to fast:
Check your venting and lint basket. Check blower for lint build up and blower wheel obstruction., test by trying to turn the wheel manually by hand (should be easy) May have to remove cabinet or front/back plate to get to it)
Next check the heating element itself with a meter for continuity OHMS CLOSED CIRCUIT. If not its defective or has a short if its grounding out? Which in turns causes blown fuses or thermostats or
overheating.
The heating elements are located inside the heater ducts. If you think a heating element is faulty, test it with avolt-ohm-multimeter (VOM)set to the RX1 scale. Disconnect the leads from the power terminals and clip one probe of the VOM to each terminal. The meter should read about 12 ohms. If the reading is higher ohms, the heater is faulty and should be replaced. Replace a faulty heater with a new one of the same type and electrical rating. A heater connected to a 115-volt line usually has an 8.4-ohm resistance; a heater connected to a 220-volt line usually has 11 ohms resistance.
Check dryer Terminal block prongs both outside prongs should give combined 220, and 110 each if u check 1 outside & 1 center (ground) prong. Also check house electrical outlet for full voltage. 220 because if u only get half or 110 volts you will be able to run the machine which uses only 110 to run motor but not the heater which uses a full 220,
OR you may have a broken centrifugal switch in the motor because this switch activates the motor and the heater as well. supposed to be if the motor does not run , the heater should not heat in order not to create fire but if the motor is not running, and the heater is still heating, then there could be a problem with the motor centrifugal switch that is connected to this interlock switch that should trigger the heater.
Check the thermal cut off, the cycling and the hi limit thermostats.
For continuity or OHMS. If no ohms or resistance they need replacement.
In some dryer's the control panel relies on a thermistor rather than a CYCLING thermostat to regulate the drum's air temperature by monitoring the component's resistance changes; resistance goes down as temperature increases and up when temperature decreases. Once the drum's air temperature reaches a certain level required to dry clothes, the control panel shuts off the heater. The panel will turn the heater on again and begin another heating cycle when the thermistor indicates that more heat is needed to keep the air temperature constant inside the drum 9 this is why in some cases the dryer will operate at lower cycles like gentle or low heat but not at higher settings?)
Lastly check your moister sensor. ( located inside the dryer door usually) Especially if machine seems to shut down early and clothes are still wet.
Test with a meter at room temperature and it should show continuity.
A failed moisture sensor will affect the dryer run time in the automatic moisture sensing cycle but it will not affect the heating of the dryer or the timed cycle. Which are reflected by the thermostats.
