Thermal Limiter

Chris for Model Number GE electric dryer dvl223eb4ww

Answer Hello Chris. 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 thermostats and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter TJMA-DM1. 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

Answer Hello Thomas, You can check continuity of the thermal limiter using an ohm/voltage tester. The thermal limiter is located on the upper right rear of internal cabinet. When checking for continuity the limiter should be closed. If open then it needs to be replaced.

Answer Hi Mike. It can be 2 -issues. 1 being the control thermostat on the blower housing mounted control thermostat can have welded contacts part # WE04X10028. Not allowing the heater to cycle on/off. Check the element itself to insure it is not shorted to the case and continously heating. It is more common to have the 1st. issue. Element part # is WE14X10015. Thank You.
