When you change-out a cycling thermostat, is there an "up and down" position?

Al for Model Number ROPER - MODEL RED4440SQ0

Answer Hello Al. No, there is no up and down position with the cycling thermostat.

Trying to test Cycling Thermostat. The red outer prongs give an ohms reading of 1.7 ohms on meter, not 0 and not 1, so is the thermostat good or bad? The purple inner prongs give a reading of 7000. Problem is that dryer heats sometimes and not others. It might start out blowing hot, but later blows with no heat. thanks!

Kerry for Model Number 110.79522800

Answer Kerry, the small "brass" colored terminals should have a resistance reading of 5500 to 8500 ohms. The two outer "silver" terminals should be a "closed" circuit at room temperature and an "open" (infinite resistance) circuit at 150 dgrs. with the meter set at the lowest resistance range (RX1 scale).

I have a Whirlpool Ultimate Care II gas dryer. On the highest setting the heating element immediately turns orange and ignites the gas. However, after about 10 minutes it goes out and never comes back. Does this indicate a problem with the cycling thermostat? If I check the continuity, should I expect it to read "0" even though it does initially start the flame? Thanks.

David

Answer Hello David, This is either a bad coil on the gas valve or the gas valve has failed.

I have a kitchen aid model keys750jq1. Symptoms: I hear nothing and the motor will not start. 1. I have power at the terminal block 120/240. 2. i checked the door switch, it has continuity. 3. i checked the thermostat heater, it read 7200 ohms. 4. i check the push to start relay it has continuity upon pressing switch in. 5. i disconnected all the wires from the timer and checked continuity per the timer switch diagram on time dry and at end of cycle. the continuity of the switches check out. 6. I checked the motor wire harness. All sockets are open to ground 7. I checked the motor wire harness resistance: white to blue it read 1,840 ohms with PTS switched open and 1,040 ohms with PTS pushed in. 8. I checked the motor terminal spades. At the white to blue terminals it reads 2.4 ohms. All other terminal spade connections are open. Can anyone tell me what is wrong? Thanks.

Matt for Model Number keys750jq1

Answer Matt, You will want to check the continuity of the thermal fuses to make sure that they have continuity. If no continuity then they are defective and would need to be replaced.

My gas dryer won't heat up. There is no lint build up to prevent the blower mower from blowing cold air.

Soaking Wet for Model Number LGR6848AW0 (Whirlpool Supreme 6 cycle- 4 temp)

Answer Hello Soaking wet. You will need to test the thermostats and the flame sensor and make sure they are good. They should read closed for continuity. Also, check the igniter and make sure it is getting hot enough to light the gas. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter for the testing procedures. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Hi. Our wirlpool all of suden has no heat. The dryer turns on and the drum is turning but no heat and the timer does not shut off. It keeps running and running and running.

Apostle John for Model Number ler4634EQO

Answer Hello Apostle John. 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 and 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

My dryer is not heating. Tested the heating element with meter snd seems fine. The thermostat attached to heating element is bad, the terminal on thermostat appears to have broken off of thermostat itself. My question is this; in the video on your website regarding replacing either the heating element or the thermostat attached to the heating element, the video shos 3 wires connected to the heater/thermostat unit. 1 is to the heater unit and 2 go to the thermostat. However, when I opened the back of my dryer, there was only 2 wires going to the unit. One attached to the heater unit and on to the thermostat. Is this correct/possible? There are no unattached wires in near the heater. there is one wire with a terminal connector on the end hanging loose, a yellow and red wire, but it is not long enough to come even close to the heater...the connector is located about half way down the dryer from where the main power cord is awired to the dryer....

Chris for Model Number whirlpool imperial series electric dryer

Answer Hello Chris. You will wire the new thermostat as the old one was wired. Not all thermostats are wired the same. The video is used for a reference to help you access and replace the part on the unit and may not be wired the same as your model is.

My gas dryer wont heat up, it will light up for about 40 seconds but will not flame up, you will hear it click but nothing happens. I replaced the igniter, the coils, and the flame sensor and still the same thing happens, it just glow for 40 seconds the go out. What should I do next?

Bruce for Model Number DLL3480SBLWH

Answer Bruce, You will want to check to make sure that the high limit thermostat is not opening to rapidly causing the unit to not operate. Check the cycling thermostat as well. If they open too quickly it will cause this type of issue.

I just replaced the termal fuse in the dryer. It started and worked when it went through the full cycle of drying the clothes they were so hot I could hardly touch the clothing and when I went to put in another load in dryer it would not start and the top of the dryer was very very hot.What could be wrong now?

Richardselders@yahoo.com for Model Number whirlpool estate model#EED4400WQO

Answer richardselders@yahoo.com, You will want to check the thermal fuse for being blown again. Also check to make sure that the venting from the blower wheel all the way out to the outside of home. Blocked venting will cause thermal fuse to go bad. If this checks ok then you need to check the cycling thermostat and high limit thermostat for being defective.
