Hi Everyone …
Yesterday we noticed that the dryer wasn’t heating …
Today I removed the top, front sections, and drum to begin testing the various components …
I removed the 2 upper thermostats and they eached checked out with good continuity …
I then removed and checked the upper right thermal fuse and it checked out with good continuity …
Worked my way down to the Bias Thermostat on the blower and it checked out as well …
So, I moved onto the Heating Coils … I visually inspected them and they appear fine with no burnt or broken areas, the ceramic isolators look fine as well …
I checked continuity on the Coils and all was fine … I then put one lead of the multimeter on one of the coil leads and then grounded the other coil and ensured that the coil is not grounded to the metal shell …
After checking all of the components that I knew to check, I had an extra Double Pole 30a breaker and swapped it out in the Breaker Panel …
Put everything back together, checked all connectors on the motor, etc… to ensure good, tight connections and it still does not heat up…
So, what else can I check? I was planning to check the motor switch and timing motor for continuity as well …
Can these thermostats Read that they have good continuity but still need replacing???
Any help will be appreciated … as I like fixing items rather than tossing for a new unit …
Thanks,
TIM
