Hello. My dryer stopped working about a week ago.
I have checked many of the common problems (thermal fuse, door switch, power cord, home power to outlet)…and everything checks good.
I found a resistor (part# 3388706) mounted near the start button. This part has been replaced by part #AP3094277, manufacturer’s part #279872.
When I check the resistance between the resistors two terminals on my volt/ohm meter…I get "infinite/infinity" resistance.
Since this part is a resistor, I understand that there should be some resistance, just not infinite resistance!
So two questions:
- Any idea what should be the proper resistance reading for this part?
- If this part is defective/broke…would it keep the dryer from starting?
Thanks,
- Nick
