Thanks for all your efforts, especially with the stainless steel cooktop. Everyone else suggested I buy a new cooktop at a cost of $1,000.00. I sent you a check in yesterday's mail. You should get it within a couple of days.

Questions & Answers

My dryer will blow but not heat and the timer doesn't seem to move is this because its not heating. Do I need the heating element or a timer?

Asked by Paul H. for Model LER4634EQ1

Hello Paul. Yes, the timer issue can be because of the no heat. Check and make sure you have 240 volts coming to the dryer. Check and make sure the unit is not set to Air Fluff. Also check the heater AP3094254 and thermostats AP3094244 and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter AP3440648. They should read closed for continuity. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

How do you properly clean the venting system of the Roper dryer model # RED4440VQ1 ?

Asked by Lt for Model RED4440VQ1

Hi LT. Start by removing power and pulling the unit out. Remove the back. Remove the left vertical blower wheel cover and the int filter 2- screws under the handle. This will allow you to lift up and slide the lint chute assy part # AP2974242 out for cleaning. Use a shop vac to clean the blower wheel collects debris under and in the blower wheel. Then you remove the top by using a putty knife to release the 2-front upper panel corner release tabs approx. 2-3"in from the corners. Lift the top and support it back. Remove the 2-5/16" bolts holding on the inside front panel top half area onto the cabinet. Then lift up and off the panel from the front cabinet. Then reach in from the lower front and release the belt from the pulley tension. Use the slack of the belt to be able to carry the drum out from the front of the cabinet. Then clean all the lint from around the motor from suffocating it altogether. Clean, clean, clean....Make sure the vent is entirely clear and not restricted. Make sure the outside vent cap / hood is opening and closing properly 4-5x /yr. so lint and moisture does not back up and create a restriction causing these issues. Reassemble and make sure the belt routing is exactly correct as before removing it. Thank You.

I just replaced the heating element and the dryer still will not heat. It spins, blows strong, but will not heat. What would be the next logical step? Could it be the Thermastat? I cannot find a fuse if it has one to check. Thank you.

My whirlpool dryer (ler6634dqo) still gets hot but takes several restarts to dry my clothes. Would this be the dryer heating element?

Asked by Lisa

Hello Lisa. It sounds like the venting system is clogged. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the pipe and the dryer both. Hope this helps.

Dryer runs but will not heat. I found that if I reset the breaker the dryer will start heating but will eventually stop heating again, then I have to reset the breaker and it will start drying. Should I replace the Heating element?

Asked by Brandon for Model EED4100SQO

Hello Brandon. If reseting the breaker causes the dryer to start heating, then you will need to replace the breaker in the home. The breaker is getting weak and not properly powering the dryer. Hope this helps.

I had my heating element on my Roper dryer burn out, and I replaced the part with satisfactory results. That was 8 months ago, and my heating element doesn't seem to be working again. Is there something else that would cause this to burn out so quickly?

Asked by Denny D. for Model REX3615EW1

Hello Denny. The main reason for the AP3094254 element to burn out is poor venting , I would first check the outside venting of your home , make sure the vent opens up fully, then make sure the vent hose is as short and straight as possible,good venting is the life of the dryer, Thank you and good luck !
