Chris for Model Number LEQ9508PW0 The dryer runs but doesn't generate any heat. I removed the back panel and examined the High-Limit Thermostat, and although it looks the same as shown in the video, there isn't an orange wire connecting to the small terminal at the bottom, only a red wire to the top terminal and a red wire to the white unit below the thermostat. If I order a replacement High-Limit Thermostat and wire it as it is currently configured, will the dryer work properly? Many thanks for any assistance!
Answer Chris, it would be recommended that the terminal block is tested for 240VAC to ensure proper voltage can potentially reach the heating element. If there is proper voltage, the power cord would need to be unplugged and the cycling thermostat WP8318268 and hi-limit/thermal fuse thermostats 279816 would need to be tested for continuity to identify if one has failed. If any of the thermostats do not have continuity, it has failed. The heating element 279838 would be tested for resistance and it should measure between 7.8 to 11.8 Ohms of resistance. If these things check good, the timer WP3406725 would need to be tested for continuity from terminal BK to terminal R when set in timed regular. If there is continuity, the temperature selector 8528330 would need to be tested for continuity as there should be when it is set to a regular heat. If there is continuity, the motor 279827 has failed. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Sunday, December 19, 2021
