I have read through plenty of these posts but still cant seem to figure out which one I should refer to so I am posting another "dryer wont heat" topic…sorry…But anyway, I have tore apart my dryer and I am far from an expert when looking inside…I do know I have located the ignitor but I dont know how to tell if thats the real problem before I go replace it (which it doesn’t look like a picnic to replace) Or if I should be worried about it being the thermistate or flame switch. I have no OEM tester thing that I have read alot of people using, do I definetly need that to be able to figure out what unit to replace? The washer does run but the close are cold, oh and the timer does not move it stays in one location…so could it be the timer? :eek: so many possibilities!!!
Ok, I have rulled the timer issue out (thats what happens when you listen to the wife). I unhooked the sensor unit and turned it on and sure enough the ignitor light up nice and bright…does this definetly point towards the sensor then?
I have a heat control and saftey thermostats in the dryer. The only problem is that I don’t know which one needs to be replaced.
Gene,
The dryer is working electrically, it ignites so I know that part is working. I have removed any and all lint from the whole inside. However, it only runs warm for a very short time then the heat switches off and it just keeps running without drying the clothes. Any info would be most helpful as I have no idea what part to order. A quick reply would be appreciated.
