SOURCE: Electric Dryer problem

the timer has a small motor to advance the timer. the motor is the likely problem. on some old maytags you can get just the motor, but you probably will have to replace the complete timer. hope this helps.

SOURCE: Kenmore 110.64732400 Electric Dryer No Heat - Won't Shut Off

The stepper motor in those timers are prone to giving favorable readings when checked and go back to acting fruity when left to themselves. It's a sticking problem. Try taking the back off the control timer, usually you bend some tangs that hold it on straight, being careful not to overstress them and check the contact points. If they are burnt even slightly then take a file or emory cloth to them, making sure you keep them straight, don't round the corners. Then put the switch back on the head housing without the back on and plug back in. DO NOT TOUCH BACK OF TIMER WHILE PLUGGED IN. Run it through a cycle and see if the motor binds up. It may take a couple of times for it to do it if it's going to. If this doesn't work, then get back to me.

SOURCE: electric dryer - drum turns but no heat

If it has a conventional electro/mechaniacal timer, then the timer is faulty, as it should advance, unless of course it has a time delay function, if it has, make sure it is off.
This probably explains why it is not heating.
Plz rate this solution.Thanks.

SOURCE: estate TGDS740PQ0 gas dryer not heating

It could be several other things thermal fuse, thermal cut out, hi limit thermostat, dryer coils, heat sensor,or igniter. All of these parts are inexpensive and easy to test and replace.There is a video at t http://appliancehelponline.com/gdryertroublevideo.html his will walk you thru the troubleshooting of these components. It may be a different model but the troubleshooting will be the same.You can also enter your model # for diagrams and illustrations. All parts come with installation instructions. Not all models are available. If you need help disassembling your machine there are videos of this also for most styles.

Testimonial: "Thanks I will check out the video now and start testing parts."

Number 7 is your problem most likely. Unplug the dryer.themobilian_1399.jpg
Remove the dust cover and the filter chute. See the fuse?

I use a shop vac to clean out the dryer.

I always take the drum out and clean her up. I use zoomspout oil on
the idler and rollers because it is safe for dryers and heaters too.

My estate dryer model number EED4400WQ0 runs alittle while then shuts of it is heating

One of the causes of this is OVERHEATING. Dryers are not maintenance free. You have to clean the duct work and under the unit to remove lint. The lint screen does not catch it all. One of the leading causes of house fires is lint in the dryer.

TEDS840JQ no heat

It probably has a bad timer. To check the timer set your meter for ohms or tone if you have tone. Connect a test lead to the terminal that connects to the large red wire from the heater. Now check for continuity between that point and all other terminals on the timer. if ya cannot get a reading the timer is bad. Here is my video:

Usually with your indications it is something with the blower fan. So hot ar is not sent from the heating elecment to the drum. BUT before you start ordering parts, check the simple things first. Check to make sure that the dryer vent to open from the machine to the outside. That would also restrict air flow and cause your indications.

The drum on my dryer will turn when I set the timer to any setting, but the timer does not work, nor does it heat up. Any suggestions?

See if the timer advances in the timed dry or the auto dry cycles. If the timer advances in timed dry but not in auto dry, then you could have a wire connection failure in the orange wire from the heating element to the timer.

If the timer will not advance in either type of cycle, then I recommend checking the timer part number that you are using.

Amana dryer not advancing on auto

Make sure the vent from the dryer to the outside is clean.
Reduced air flow can cause your symptom.

You can remove the vent hose from the dryer and operate the dryer in the automatic cycle.'
If the timer advances you know the vent needs cleaning.
Clean the lint filter housing also.
A flashlight helps to see all the way down the housing.

Dono heat and timer dont turn

HI. Due to the fact that the timer is not advancing, this will lead me to believe that the timer is the culprit here. The timer is equipped with a motor. this motor, when energized, will advance the timer dial, thus, activating the unit, and progressing the cycle. If the motor is damaged, as in your case, the unit will not heat, or run correctly. Simply replacing the timer control module will correct this problem.

Replace this damaged timer mechanism asap.

Dryer will not shut off or heat up

The problems are related. The timer advances when the thermostats sense that heat is being applied to the air in the dryer. With no heat, the sensors do not allow the time to advance.

You did not mention... Is your dryer gas or electric? If Electric, the most likely culprit is a burned out heating element or a faulty internal heat-sensing thermostat. Burned wires or a defective motor switch are less common factors.

If it's a gas dryer, suspect the glow sensor (could be something as simple as lint covering it), temperature control thermostats, or the heater switch on the motor.

No heat

mcwilliams if you pull the over off the front of the dryer at the bottom you can see the gas burner assy. Put the dryer on time dry and start the dryer, you should see a glow from the ignitor, then hear a click, then the heat come on. In the auto dry mode, the timer advances along with the dryness level. No heat, No timer advancing. If you don't see a glow, there should be a thermosat on the heater can, see if it is tripped. If so if it is resetable, reset then try again. You may have a bad ignitor.
