Dissemble procedure
- My Dryer does not heat properly.
There
is a vent hose located in the back of your dryer. Just check to see if
this hose is kinked. If not,disconnet the hose from the dryer. Move the
dryer aways from the wall. Run a load of clothes again. Does this
correct it? Clean the vent or have it properly cleared out by a vent
cleaning service.(DO NOT DO THIS WITH A GAS DRYER)
- My Dryer does not heat properly PART 2.
The
thermostat that is mounted on your blower housing next to the blower
wheel could be bad. There is no way to check,because your still heating
but not properly. So your thermostat will probally read on your ohms
meter, Replace thermo if you have check the vent. Also some models have
dual elements instead of single. You will need to verify this before
replacing the thermostat.
- My Dryer does not heat at all, not even warm.
First
common problem could be the power to your dryer. The first thing you
will say is it's been plugged in the outlet since day one. And i will
say that's why eletricians have jobs and we do too. It doesn't matter
how old your house is. If your breaker or fuse is not allowing the
other 120 volts to make 220-240 then you will only have the motor come
on and not the heater. Your dryer will run on 120 volts but your heater
takes 220 volts. You will need a meter to verify this. Install one
meter lead into the left leg and the other in the right. You should
have 220-240 volts. If you only have 120 volts, call an electrician.
- My Dryer does not heat at all, not even warm. PART 2
You
could have a open heater. Verify you have a good heater by trying to
find a break into the heater or using an ohm meter. If you show no
resistance then replace. If not go to Part 3.
- My Dryer does not heat at all, not even warm. PART 3
You
could have a bad thermostat. Locate the one on the heater housing.
Apply both leads together to test to see if you have now have a heater
come on. If so replace. Use a ohm meter you should show resistance to
have a good thermostat. Next go to the blower housing and check the
other thermostat the same way. If all good go to PART 4.
- My Dryer does not heat at all, not even warm. PART 4
The
only thing left at this point is shorting wiring. And open timer
contact, or the motor's centrifical switch is not making up the other
voltage for the heater. You will have to call a repair man at this
point.
- My Dryer does not do anything at all.
An
open fuse that is mounted on the heater housing will cause your dryer
to be down. Find the fuse and jump it out just to test. Replace fuse if
it comes on and check the vent for any blockage. This is what causes
the fuse to open.
- My Dryer does not do anything at all. PART 2
Please
always check power with a meter. Do not assume there is full volage for
operation. First common problem could be the power to your dryer. The
first thing you will say is it's been plugged in the outlet since day
one. And i will say that's why eletricians have jobs and we do too. It
doesn't matter how old your house is. Your dryer will run on 120 volts
but your heater takes 220 volts. You will need a meter to verify this.
Install one meter lead into the left leg and the other in the right.
You should have 220-240 volts. If you only have 120 volts or nothing,
call an electrician.
- My Dryer does not do anything at all. PART 3
A
bad door switch could cause your dryer to not do anything. Get access
to your door switch jump leads or use an ohm meter to show if you can
detect resistance. If no resistance is found replace door switch. Do
not leave jumped out.
- My Dryer has water coming out of the vent hose,what could it be?
Two
possible Causes. [1] Where the Outside Vent Opening is Exposed, the
Flap on the Top may be gone, or not Sealing Properly when it Closes,
and allowing Rainwater to Enter. [2] The Duct Vent Piping may be
partially Clogged with Lint, and is not allowing the Moisture to
properly Vent to the Outside, in which case, it will need to be Cleaned
out with a Lint Brush or simply replace the hose.
