Jason K for Model Number DV210AEW/XAA My dryer quit drying. Found this site plus a few others and started troubleshooting away. I replaced the thermal fuse, the high limit thermostat and the heating element. Dryer worked fine for about 4 loads but then quit drying (next day). Did some more research and read about the vents possibly being clogged. I've lived in my house for 10 years and never had it done, so I had them cleaned (not bad but air flow was restricted). This time I replaced the thermal fuse, high limit thermostat and the thermistor. Ran a couple of loads and it quit again. Then, I read about the heat relay possibly being stuck open on the main board but by this time, I called a tech to come look at it. Everything was good (continuity), he replaced the thermal fuse so we thought that the only issue could be the main board. I bought refurbished main board from a reputable seller. I replaced the board and three loads later, here we go again. Any additional thoughts on what the issues could be? Can you let me know which thermal fuse is correct as I see there a few options. I need the one with the bracket. Thanks
Answer Jason, The correct thermal fuse for the model number you supplied is DC96-00887C / DC96-00887A. Since you still seem to have an intermittent heat problem, but no error codes you'll want to check and make sure the power cord is properly secured to the terminal block and there are no loose connections, then check the wiring at the RY connector on the main control board, the black wire is power into the control board and the blue wire is power out to the heater circuit and through the thermostats and thermal fuse. Make sure there aren't any loose connections, twisted or kinked wires and all the connections are tight. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, January 27, 2017
