It doesn't turn on. I checked breaker and socket

Hello again,

sorry I missed your reply but thank you for providing the model number and the further details I requested.

So it is indeed completely dead, OK. There is power at the socket...so where the dryer plugs in there is 240Vac present ?

I'd suggest trying a test program and I can also provide you with a generic service manual for your dryer if you want to post an email address.

To run the diagnostic (just to see if it will power up) is as follows...

1. Unit must be in Standby (unit plugged in, display off)

2. press POWER while pressing MORE TIME, and LESS TIME simultaneously.

Immediately you should see the display illuminate...if not let me know and I'll try and trouble shoot some points...but you'll need a multi-meter/tester.

The service manual I have is for the DLE series (just not the 2050w) and covers several models, but I can tell you from experience the components are the same as yours with the exception of control part numbers, testing, dis-assembly and all are the same.

I'll watch for your reply, but it is getting late (11pm) where I reside so I'll be calling it a night very soon so if you can hold off until around 7-8am mtn time (north america) or reply quickly I can get the manual to you.

Hello again,

Based on your last post and knowing the unit will not enter the diagnostic, and you've confirmed the unit is getting power, then unfortunately you have a bad PCB assembly (main power board).

That's the bad news. The good news is it isn't extremely expensive and is available at most brick & mortar appliance parts places (at least in urban centers...you may need to try on-line if in an rural location).

It will resemble the image shown here and list for around $110.00U.S. at places such as "searspartsdirect.com" or "repairclinic.com" to name a couple.


If you need guidance in how to replace it when you have the part on hand, let me know and I'll help in any manner I can of course.
