Well first of all, I checked the manual, and this is not in there. 2-Canister for the heater element.
3-Hi limit thermostat. This thermostat is a
safety thermostat in case the dryer severely overheats. When this safety
thermostat is defective, it should raise a red flag for air flow problems.
4-This is the terminals of the heater element
that is inside the canister.
5-Thermal fuse that controls motor run.
6-Control thermostat. This is the thermostat
that controls the cycling of the heater in high heat mode.
7-Heater for low heat. When you select low
heat, 110V is sent to this heater that the control thermostat sits in. The
heater helps cycle the control thermostat faster, therefore you get less heat
than the high heat mode. please comment on these solution by saying how helpful.mean vote.
I was drying my clothes and it stopped working. The lights in the ring
that choose what kind of a load you want...well the first three are
blinking. The second two are not. It will not let me choose a load or
drying time, and if I press start, the thing inside goes around once
and then stops. I looked in the filter basket and there's nothing in
there and I wiped the sheet off.
Now the lights aren't blinking and I can choose an option, but it only goes for like a minute and then stops
Electric dryers - See the "how to take apart" section
first if needed. Always check the
power supply first...if one house fuse blows or 1/2 of the breaker trips, it is possible for
the dryer to run with no heat. If you have a volt
meter, you should read 240 volts between the red and black wires, 120 volts between
the white and black and 120 volts between white and red, check for this at the main power
connection.
If you have 240 volts to the
dryer, remove rear access panel, turn dryer on and test for 240 volts to the *heating element wire
connections (#4). If you have
240 volts there and no heat = bad element, the element must be broken
physically to be bad. If you have no
power at the heating element, remove power, remove wires to the heating element and
isolate them so that they can't touch anything. Reinstall power and check each wire for power from the wire to the dryer
cabinet,
one wire will probably show 120 volts and the other will show zero. Make note
of the color or # of the wire
that has no power,
remove power to the dryer and check the wiring diagram that comes with the dryer
to find out where that
color or #
wire goes to. LEG: - wires might be yellow and red, if the yellow wire (example only) was
the one that had no power, look at the wiring diagram to find out where that goes to and
check only those parts, no need to check the other colored wire parts as they are working.
Things to check are, thermostats,
timer contacts, selector switch, motor switch heat
contacts ( 1&2 on the motor switch ) and thermal
fuse. If the wires to the heating element are the same color, just remove power after
test and slowly follow that wire that has no power with your hand to see what parts it
goes to. If live volt testing scares you, try the ohm
check instead.
1-Thermal
fuse that controls heat. If the dryer overheats, this fuse will blow. One shot
fuse. Does not reset.
