Kenj for Model Number Amana NED7200TW I have an Amana NED7200TW dryer that is approx. 2 1/2 years old and am having issues. The first sign of a problem was it would not come back on after running a 40-50 minute cycle. Nothing would come on, no display, chim, or any sign of life. After about 15-20 minutes, it would turn on and work fine. Sometimes you could run several loads in a row with no trouble, other times you would have to wait. Now its got to the point to where it will only run for about 15-20 minutes, and then it shuts down. The display goes off, and it will not start back. After 15 minutes or so, it comes back on by its self, and the timer display is showing the remaining time from the stopped cycle. Could this be the curciut board over heating? Or maybe the Thermistor is going bad, but not sure if it would shut the display down...
Answer Ken, The thermistor WP35001191 would not cause the dryer to shut down, it normally would cause and error code in the display. Based on your post, you may want to check the line cord connections at the terminal block, make sure there are no loose connections. Check the voltage(108 to120 VAC) From each supply leg to neutral, while the dryer is running and heating. If all checks are OK, then replace the control assembly WP35001153, you'd have a failed component or a weak"foil tracer" in the board circuits. Read More...
