Jim for Model Number GLER341AS2 I'm working on a Frigidaire dryer. When the timer is set on say 50 minutes of timed dry, the heater element starts to heat before I turn it on. Could it be the switch in the motor is stuck closed? Thanks.
Answer Jim, if the motor switch is closed, you will read 120 volts on the yellow wire at pin M1 at the motor switch. Other than that, you may have a element that is grounded and the coil is touching metal. The motor would need to be replaced if it is sending voltage through without it be turned on and running, 131560100 Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, February 12, 2019
