I lost heat yesterday so I checked the duct and vent door, they’re okay. Then I checked the thermal fuse right away since it went out once before a couple of years ago. That was okay (N.C.).
I checked the Variable resistor it’s working fine, same oHms range as 2 years ago.
I checked the Heater Box Thermal Cutoff, it reads n.c.
I checked power to the heat coils and both legs have 117V.
The operating stat and High Limit Stat. both read N.C. (good) and is not burnt.
I tried by-passing the Operating Stat. and then tried by-passing the High Limit sw. but still no heat.
I read resistance of 17K oHms unwired of course at the timer Power Resistor. (don’t know if 17K is okay?)
I went under the motor and found the ground wire eye loop was un-attached to the motor and the motor ground screw was stripped tightly shut. I reconnected but still no heat.
I’m thinking it’s the Timer but I’m not able to verify what I’m doing or what I’m missing, please help. Thanks
P.S. I’ll be yard sailing for a used Dryer if I have to buy a new T switch, it’s $85.00!
