Forrest for Model Number DV331 AER AXX 02 My dryer wouldn't begin it's cycle. So I dismantled it according to the video. I verified that all pathways from the heating element and the blower assembly ( including impeller) were clean and clear. This is especially easy for the exhaust because there is only 18-20'' of travel before reaching the exterior of my home. The thermistor tested within its appropriate ranges of resistance given ambient temperature at 84F with 8.63 ohms. The thermostat (high limit switch) functioned as designed, opening and closing at 250F. The thermal fuse tested positive for continuity as did the heating element. The only failure I discovered was the thermal fuse on the blower assembly. It failed to register continuity. So I replaced it. The new one was installed and the dryer ran fine for 20 min, then quit. So again dismantled, cleaned, and tested. Again the thermal fuse on the blower assembly. This time I watched your replacement video on that part. Matt, the tech in the video made it seem there was an importance to the orientation of the harness with the two brown wires on it when reconnecting it to the thermal fuse. I don't want to replace this fuse again and again without finding out why it blew so fast.The only issue I see is that I definitely had the harness plugged in differently then Matt did in the video. I know this because I took pictures of everything before I touched it. SO, My question is, is this my problem, I reconnected the harness improperly? The video I am referencing is: "Step by step instructions on how to replace a Thermal Fuse #DC47-00016A". The event in the video takes place at 7 min, 04 sec. Thank you so much for your time and effort in helping me resolve this, I look forward to your responce, -Forrest
Answer Hello Forrest. No, either the heater DC47-00019A is grounded and staying on or the control board DC92-00382A has a stuck relay and is keeping the heater on. This is the reason it keeps blowing. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. 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 Read More...
