20 Most Recent Magic Chef CYE4000AWW Electric Dryer - Page 9 Questions & Answers

Do you have power going to the receptacle. You can first go to your house panel and look for the circuit breaker for the dryer (usually a 30 amp 2-pole brkr.). It could be tripped. So first, put your dryer in the off position. Next, go back to your circuit breaker in your house panel. Turn off the breaker, and then turn it back on. This should reset the circuit breaker for the dryer. Then go back and try turning on your dryer. If this doesn't work, feel free to contact me again. However, this would seem to be it. Good Luck to you!

Asker's Testimonial " Thanks so much for your help. Now that you'v mentioned it, the buzzing does sound like it's coming from the motor. I'm,now, more comfortable in call " -

Hi, The green wire is simply the "ground" or "earth" wire, it has to be connected to the chassis/cabinet of your dryer. If there is no place to connect the wire which already exists you'll need to find a nut & bolt that will allow you to fasten it to the dryer. Hope that answer's your question. Thanks for coming to fixya. Macmarkus :)

What you need to do is unplug the machine then use a flat blade to pop the top the heater and high limits along with the thermal limit is in the rear.

Depending on the exact model, it could be the blower needs replaced. They tend to wear and come loose on the motor shaft, eventually breaking.

If you're only getting low heat this implies one of the following:

- loose/corroded/damaged connector, or

- bad thermal limit switch/tstat you will have to check out this possibilities by testing it from meter and continuity tester. Probably element only working on low heat. check filter and outlet . No heat or low heat is the third problem and probably the most common problem with dryers. The places to check for this problem on an electric dryer are: Power supply-Heater element-thermal fuse-heat select switch-timer contacts for heat circuit-high limit and control thermostats, and the motor run safety switch. These tests can be made with an ohm meter with the dryer unplugged. Or they can be made with a volt meter live. You can get required parts from www.repairclinic.com
This will help. Thanks please keep updated.please do rate the solution positively .thank you for using fixya

should be in the back of the dryer,there should be 3or 4 screws that you have to hook to.lots of the time when you buy a new plug the instructions are on it,if not ask someone who knows

either the safety over heat stat button has been triggered and needs resetting(red button at back or near elements or if dryer has a belt switch the belt may be broken hope this helps

over loading too often, belt slipping from ware needs replaced. could have kinked drain hose or debri in pump could make it take too long to drain and stops before it has a chance to spin

The answer is likely yes. Look on the back of the dryer, for an open hole that seems to serve no purpose. using a flashlight, peer inside this hole, and any others like it, and look for some sort of button.
Also make sure power is disconnected before doing any of this.

Since Its heating, you should check the outlet hose and vent for obstructions. If that is clear check to see if air is blowing out of the dryer at the hose connection. If no air is blowing out, the fan blades on the dryer may be broken or just clogged up. You may have to remove the back cover and disassemble the lint trap and duct-work inside the dryer to clean thoroughly. You can go to this site www.appliancepartspros.com type in your model number and they will have schematic diagrams to help aid in doing this.

Hello. It sounds like the belt is a wee bit too big, or the idler arm is a bit worn out. I recommend that you use it as is for a few days and if after that it is still problematic check out the idler arm with consideration of replacing it. by the way, did you use a magic chef replacement belt or a generic one? Regards, joe

Sounds like the drum is rubbing on the cabinet some where.

Your problem is caused by a motor overheating causing its internal overload to shut it down until the motor cools. If you truly have thoroughly cleaned all interior areas of your dryer and the vent leading from the house to the outside there are only two possible problems that can give you this failure.

1. The dryer motor bearing is failing (tightening) causing the motor to be harder to turn. This will force the motor to draw more current to keep it running and this generates more heat than usual. The additional heat opens the thermal safety on the motor until it cools down. Motor needs to be replaced
   
2. The air holes at each end of the motor are clogged with lint that needs to be cleared out. The body of the motor may also be coated with lint. Both these conditions will cause the thermal overload in the motor to open until it cools. Motor needs to be fully vacuumed.

Good Luck.

it sounds like you will need to change the coils on the gas valve. They are working intermittenly.

The door switch must be checked for continuity. The thermal overload fuse near the heating element must be checked for continuity. If either has no continuity it is a bad part and must be replaced.

Aside from checking the breaker panel, it is likely the lid switch. Only other item that will cause this is the thermal fuse located on the vent after the element. I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/josh_87ce33216d7b2148

Check your breaker, if that isn't it, probably have a bad lid switch

Replace the blower wheel on the motor.
