The dryer is heating on air fluff.

Its a whirlpool dryer with a model number of LER4634JQ1. When you turn it on air fluff it begins heating and keeps getting hotter the longer the cycle runs

Sounds like your heating element may be shorted to ground
....
Perhaps the heating element has broken and come into contact with the element housing cover

Good Afternoon,
Is this dryer Electric or Gas?

  • Anonymous Mar 27, 2009

    Hi There,

    Sounds like you need to check the heat sensors. They are located behind the rear panel where the heating coil is. Let me know if this helps and thanks for using FixYa!

Kenmore 80 series dryer keeps tripping breaker after it runs for 5-10 minutes

First, see if you get the same result when you run the machine on "Air-Fluff." If you don't pop the breaker on Air -Fluff you know the problem is originating in the heat circuit, get inside the machine and inspect the wiring for crispy/burned terminals and the heat element for damage or contact with the housing... If it does pop the breaker on Air-Fluff: Inspect the terminal block on the back of the unit where the power cord is bolted on (with the unit unplugged), look for any scorched spots- if that is clear, remove the outlet cover and inspect the wire connections on it for scorching (with the circuit break off). Can't be more specific without a model #!

Whirlpool dryer bad heating element AGAIN

Hi Warren Fink
Try this solution to your problem

A vent clogged with lint can cause the dryer to overheat.
Right after replacing a dryer element, always run the dryer on air fluff/no heat, and go outside to verify there's plenty of air coming out your vent system.
If the vent's clogged, that new element can burn out very quickly.
Please take time to rate me

Hi, i have a homebrand dryer. Model: TD50-89S. Without asking first,my son transferred washing to dryer. Unfortunately, there was alot of white fluff all over washing and he assumed the dryer could take...

Your duct work is probably clogged with the fluff, which will not allow the air to flow though like it should. When that happens, the heat builds up on the cabinet and the heat sensor shuts down the heat. Its an easy fix, it this is the case. Just remove the duct from the dryer, clean it out, clean out the fluff from the dryer duct connection, then go outside and inspect the outside dryer vent for clogs. Make sure the flapper is working on the outside vent as well. Good luck!

Dryer does not spin

Usually if a dryer won't spin, I suggest checking the belt to make sure it isn't broke or even the motor burned out. If you post a model number for your dryer, I may be able to assist you further.

I have a whirlpool dryer model #len 2000pgo and my wash doesnt get dry but dryer gets warm ...not hot like it should. what could be wrong??? its electric

Your venting plays a huge part here.Do you want to be 100% sure about the vent ,ok,for just ONE load remove the vent hose from the dryer keep atleast 3 feet clear for the air to exit dryer.Now select TIMED dry cycle for 60 minutes.Start dryer and make sure your in a heat setting (not air fluff).The normal load should dry in 60 min,If it does than you now you have a block in the venting.
