Brian for Model Number dv42h5000ew/a3 Recently we suddenly had no heat. There were no error codes present. I opened the dryer and checked continuity on the element and it was open. I pulled it and there was a break in the coil. Ordered a replacement and installed it. Dryer powered up fine and was making heat but seemed to be getting real hot when running then the dryer stops and the display shows he error code. Power it off and it will start up and run for a while. I replaced the thermal sensors on the ducting the houses the element. Same results. I don’t know where to go now.
Answer Brian, you will want to check the thermistor DC32-00007A on the blower housing. The thermistor should read around 10kOhms at room temperature. Another thing to check would be the heater relay to ensure that it is not closed shut when turned off. From there it would be good to check the home ventilation to ensure that there is no clogs that would prevent the heat from escaping. Read More...
