Hello,
Welcome to
FixYa,
Based on
your post it may just be the hi-limit has tripped. Here's what I'd do/check.
**Unplug the unit from the wall or switch off the breaker...safety first**
Once the dryer has been disconnected from any power, remove the rear panel...
i.e.
Once the panel has successfully been removed, you'll see the heater with the Hi-Limit and
NTC attached. The Hi-limit is the thermostat with the red button in the center...
i.e.
push it in to reset it. As you can see by the images I've provided, if you have a
multi-meter or ohm meter you can verify the proper values of the listed components.
If the hi-limit is tripped, obviously something triggered it, you can check the possible culprits such as the NTC's or heater with the info I provided above as I alluded to.
( Even so,
I'd suggest running it through a cycle or two with clothes and monitor it's performance, it may have tripped simply due to poor air flow from a large load etc. and therefore nothing is actually wrong...human error )
You may run the dryer momentarily without the rear panel in place ( provided nothing electrical has been disconnected, don't attempt an entire cycle. ) just to witness the heater functioning, but it isn't recommended for much longer than a minute or two.Thank you for choosing
FixYa and please let me know what you find out or if you indeed require further assistance.
Good luck.
Regards,
Macmarkus :)
