My dryer will not start?.....nothing tripped in home fuse box

If your Logik LVD7W15 tumble dryer is tripping the fuse box as soon as you close the door, it may be caused by a few different issues. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check the door switch: The door switch is responsible for detecting whether the door is closed or open. If it is not functioning correctly, it can cause the dryer to trip the fuse box. Make sure the door switch is properly installed and functioning.
2. Check the thermal fuse: The thermal fuse is a safety device that is designed to protect the dryer from overheating. If the thermal fuse is faulty, it can cause the dryer to trip the fuse box.
3. Check the heating element: If the heating element is faulty, it can cause the dryer to overheat and trip the fuse box.
4. Check the wiring: Make sure all the wiring connections are tight and secure. Look for any damaged or frayed wires.
5. Check the PCB: The PCB (Printed Circuit Board) controls the various functions of the dryer. If it is faulty, it can cause the dryer to trip the fuse box.
6. If none of the above steps work, it is possible that the dryer has a more serious problem that requires professional service.

Please make sure to turn off the dryer and unplug it before attempting any troubleshooting steps. It is also important to refer to the user manual or contact the manufacturer for specific instructions or troubleshooting steps for your specific model.

if you start the dryer with nothing else running and it doesn't pop the fuse then it's not the dryer,if it was the dryer the fuse would pop no matter what,i would call an electrician in to check the fuse box,if you start each appliance by themselves and it doesn't trip the fuse then it has nothing to do with any of the appliances or the fuse would trip if there was a problem,somehow the way your box is wired the appliances are somehow connected and the fuse is popping,i would start with an electrician,somehow it's drawing over what the fuse can handle only with the dryer and one of the other appliances running,i have old wiring in my house,i was putting in a new fan light,i took the fuse out and still got popped even though the light and fan wouldn't work,whoever worked on the wiring jumped power from another room and i had to remove both fuses to finally kill the power,you might have the same thing going on,that's an electric dryer so it uses 240 volts,someone might of tapped off of another power source in the house to get the other leg or 120 volts so the hot water tank and dryer could be connected even though they have their own fuse,i guess you could remove the hot water tank fuse and start the dryer and see what happens,it might not start or if it starts you might have no heat in the dryer because like i said it has 240 volts going to it but it sounds like they are somehow wired together.hope this helps.

You do not mention if you have checked the plug wiring , maybe it has a loose connection ?

Hi Lawrence, this is AP! Thank you for your post.

I understand you are having trouble with your Frigidaire electric dryer. Without knowing the specific model number there are still some troubleshooting tips I can recommend. Make sure the dryer is plugged into the outlet, and plugged in correctly. Check to see if the house fuse is blown or circuit breaker tripped. If so, replace fuse or re-set circuit breaker. If your house uses fuses, there are two house fuses that supply voltage to the dryer circuit in your fuse box. If one of the two fuses is blown, the dryer may turn but will not heat. Check and replace fuse in fuse box if necessary. If the house has circuit breakers, there may be two breakers with switches that supply voltage to the dryer. Circuit requirements are individual 30 amp. branch circuit fused with 30 amp. time delay fuses or circuit breakers. Your dryer requires a power supply of 240 volts to operate. Make sure that the electrical circuit is not overloaded and correct. The dryer must be on a circuit by itself. Overloaded circuits can damage the dryer and possibly cause damage to home. If needed have a Licensed Electrician check to make sure it is on a circuit by itself.

Lastly, the thermal limiter could have tripped or there is an internal problem with the dryer. A thermal limiter automatically turns off the motor (electric dryers only) in the unlikely event of an overheated situation. If this is the case I would recommend contacting an authorized service for repair as this is not a typical DIY project. Contacting an authorized technician can ensure no troubleshooting step has been missed. Parts are often costly and if the problem is precisely diagnosed, it can save you a lot of time and funds.

You may have a short in that circuit or a bad breaker.

Is your dryer electric or gas. If electric, check your fuse box first thing. If it is an older model and your home has an older fuse box, and the boxes uses the big bullet type fuses for the 220 line, one or both fuses could be bad. If so, go buy two new fuses and give it a t;ry.

Yes,but no one should have a fuse box in
their home, for the last 40 years.

Not Code to have one

Check the breaker in your home's breaker box. The dryer will be the only thing that is on it. It will be a double breaker and looking might not tell you if it has tripped. If it isn't marked just grab the swich and see if it's "wiggly" on each double breaker. If you find a wiggler, flip it all the way over to "off" then back to "on". If the breakers are all fine, the next place to check is the wall outlet itself. If you have a volt meter, first check the slots in the outlet. If you get nothing, pull the wall plate off of the outlet and check the wires leading to the outlet. If they have power, replace the outlet. To the best of my somewhat experienced knowledge, there is no fuse in dryer and I know there is no breaker in it.

You've got an open circuit somewhere in the loop betwixt the start button, the "safety" button actuated by the door, and the motor/heat coils. Trace out those circuits and you'll have that thing running in no time.

Your dryer doesnt have a fuse. Your home breaker panel is the only protection it has..Check your circuit breaker box for a tripped breaker.
