I have a Lakewood 6500, both controls appears to have over heated and need replacing. Are replacement parts available? I heard Lakewood is no longer in business.

The red light comes on when 115 volts is connected. Both controls are toasted (in pieces) I read 10 ohms on the heating element. Is there fuse somewhere too? Thanks for your help. Geow.

SOURCE: dryer spins but no heat

Did you check the power coard where it connects to the dryer? Start at the source. Make sure that you have at least 110v on each line. The dryer will tumble on 110v but requires 220v to heat. If you have 220v then check the t-stat and thermal cut-out on the blower. Check all wires for loose or burnt terminals. If all that is good it may be a bad motor or timer/control. I'm happy that you have a meter.
Good luck.

SOURCE: Dishwasher Heating element not working

my wife shut the water off to the dishwasher and forgot to turn it back on and then used the dishwasher.
the heating element went on but there was nop water.
when we turned the water back on,the drying cycle does not work.i would think that the element needs to be changed or is there a relay on the computer board?
this is a two year old Jennair unit.
any suggestions?

If all of the components are reading ok then you need a timer. Touch your 2 leads together. 0 ohms rght. That means you have a complete circuit.If you get the 0 reading then the element must be otay. Bad timer. Take that fancy meater of yours and atttach one of them leads to the timer leg marked RH. Yank the wire off the terminal beore you test. Move the timer around. You should get the famous 0 reading along the way. If you don't then that means you have the bad timer.

SOURCE: Whirlpool Dryer not heating

The motor has to be running for voltage to exit the motor going to the heater. With the back off the dryer and the motor running you should read 220 volts at the heater if all safetys and thermostats are good.
There is a thermal cut out relay on the heat canister. It must read continuity also.
Remember you must remove at least one wire from each component being tested to get a true open or closed reading. If a wire is left connected you get a false reading.
The heating element could be broken and part of the heater wire touching the canister. This would cause a continuity reading and still no heat.
Finally, yes,the centrifugal switch in the motor could be bad and not sending power to the heater on the red wire.

Testimonial: "I did determine it to be the cetrepetal switch..specifically the slide for the weights was heavily gummed up with dryer belt dust. It works now."

We have a Lakewood Model 6500 oil filled heater and need to get replacement casters. Can you help with a website and size for replacement?

You should be able to get them on Amazon. Just measure the stem for diameter and length

No parts suppliers, I read they are no longer in business. The consumer recall probably finished them.

Our Lakewood 5101 oil heater gets warm, but over the last few days, it is not getting hot like it used to. It seems like it has slowly been getting colder over the last week or so. I can feel the heat...

Appears you have a heating element issue. Many of these elements are segmented for temp control. If one part goes fubar the heater will work but not put out the heat it used to unless you replace the element with a new one that has no burnt out sections.

Replacement wheel for Lakewood Heater Model 7101

I did the drill think once. but today when trying to repair an old Lakewood 7101, I removed the two screws holding the front cover in place (top and bottom). the cover slides down and out. and underneath I see a large plug that can be unscrewed to drain or fill the heater!

How can I find our what the controls mean, the dots on the 6500????

thegreyone_0.jpg I could not easily find an instruction sheet, but I believe that the top knob is the thermostat... rotate it clockwise for higher temperatures and counter-clockwise to lower the temperature. The lower knob controls the number of heating elements. The first dot/dash if for the 600W element only, the second longer dot/dash is for the 900W element only; and the longest dot/dash is to select both the heating elements giving 1500W total output power.
I hope this helps...
