ongoing issues with this dryer.

few weeks ago it stopped heating. would spin, but no heat.
continuity checked out fine for thermostats and heating coil, turned out to he the control board (faulty relay)

Bought a new control board here swapped it worked great for a week.

Today the dryer shuts off 1 second after starting.

If i select "no heat" option the dryer will spin, but when i select low, med or high heat it starts, spins for 1 second and shuts off.

diagnostic error code seems to he a 95 but i cant find any info on that.

any help is much appreciated.

thanks

Sorry for the delay.

It looks very strange to me either.

I would recommend to check the thermistor (#15 at the [B]diagram[/B]). The normal reading suppose to 50K ohms ± 10%.

No worries Gene, I appreciate any help i can get.

I did swap the thermister a few weeks ago as i thought that may have been the issue with it when it was not heating, so it is new… I didn’t get a continuity reading from that before.

curious what would cause that to blow?? if i have gone through 2 in a matter of weeks then i assume i have a bigger root problem.

thanks

Check the thermistor again but do it from the control boar by measuring resistance between the terminals J2-4 & J2-5 at the control board.

Post the results.

What is the part number of the control board you installed?
