FE CODE ERROR ITS ON BUT NOT STARTING

Motor If the dryer motor only hums when you press the Start button, the motor may be burned out. Here's how to test the dryer motor:

• Remove the belt.
  
  
• Check for obstructions in the blower fan housing.
  
  
• Manually rotate the shaft of the motor.
  
  

If the motor is very stiff, or impossible to rotate manually, and the blower fan housing is clear, you need to replace the motor.

If the motor rotates freely, run the motor momentarily with the belt removed and the blower in place. If the motor runs fine with the belt removed, there may be a problem with the idler pulley or the clothes drum. Try to rotate the drum by hand. If it is very difficult to move, correct any problem with the rollers or pulley, and then reassemble the dryer and try it again.

If the motor hums but doesn't rotate on its own even with the belt removed--yet you can turn it freely by hand--you usually need to replace the motor or the motor start capacitor.

What is the model number of your unit?

More than likely the temperature sensor has gone bad. If the unit is under warranty I would contact the dealer...otherwise you need to replace the sensor.

Hi ghm16...
No the heating element cannot be reset, if it is faulty it must be replaced.
Check it with an OHM meter, remove the two wires from the element and then check the element by using the ohm meter.

Hi, I experienced the same problem with my Maytag electric dryer. My problem was finally resolved when I inspected the vent tube/pipe and found a mouse nest. Once I removed this mouse next, my electric dryer worked perfectly. In the winter time, mice love nice warm places and a dryer's vent pipe is very attractive. Just a thought. Good Luck! Please remember to rate my solution. Thanks!

may be a reset button on motor:

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. This can happen due to two things: thermal fuse and/or heating element. However, from what you have described it seems to be the issue with the Thermal Fuse going bad and needs to be replaced. It is mounted to the exhaust duct inside the back cover panel. Also, often a dryer heating element burns out, but doesn't trip the circuit breaker or blow a fuse. The heating element is simply a long coil of special wire. You can check it for continuity with an ohm meter. No continuity means the element is bad and you need to replace it. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks
