Tabatha for Model Number FEQ1442ESO My dryer is not getting hot. I have replaced the heating element and the circuit breakers. Is my next step the thermal limiter or thermastat? Im confused on how many things I need to test. Can you clairify this for me? Thanks!
Answer Hi Tabatha. Are you positive you are getting proper 240 vac supply? Make sure you have 120 vac from black(L-1) and red(L-2) to white (neutral) also. On the inside of the cabinet above the terminal block is a thermal limiter. Part # 134120900. It should ohm 0-ohms (or closed). On the top, RT. of the heater there is a Safety thermostat that needs to be checked also, part # 3204267. If the heater is good (12-32 ohms) and not shorted part # 131553900, then the motor switch has to be closed and up to speed to send the 120 vac to the heater circuit. Motor part # 131560100. There is a thermistor in the front of the blower hsg. It needs to ohm out at 50,000 ohms at 77°. Thermistor part # 134587700. Thank You. Read More...
