M.W. for Model Number GLEQ2152ESO My dryer has been running perfectly fine since we got it about 2 years ago (bought from rentacenter), but a few days ago, i turned on the dryer, and when i returned to the laundry room about 20 mins later, i noticed it was off. I tried to turn it back on but there seemed to be no power to it so i checked the breaker and flipped it a few times. nothing. The top of the dryer was also very hot to the touch when i first noticed it had turned off. I cleaned out all the lint. I believe its the thermal fuse, but wanted to be sure first... Any suggestions to what it could be?? Thanks so much in advanced!
Answer M., Very good deduction, Yes, based on your post description, the Thermal limiter could have "opened" due to the excessive heat and would have shut power off, into the dryer. If you have a multi meter you can check across the terminals of the limiter for a closed circuit. Good Luck and Thanks Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, May 9, 2012
