Teresa for Model Number Wed8300swo The dryer runs and heats for a few minutes then shuts off, starts again after a few minutes without promoting .There is a warning smell like a hot iron.the control board looks fine .The dryer was cleaned throughout, do you think the thermal cut off kit will fix the problem.the thermostat and shut sensors have continuity. Thanks hope you have an answer for me.
Answer Teresa, The thermal fuse would not be the issue with it because if the fuse was bad it would cause the unit to not start back up. This issue would most likely be an issue with the control board of the unit even if it looks good. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, February 24, 2017
Answer Teresa, When you cleaned the dryer, did you notice a heavy build up of lint, on or in the motor ? An overheating motor will produce an odor similar to what you described. You'll also want to check and make sure you have 120 VAC into the motor relay(blue wire) and out to the motor (black wire) on the control board. Low voltage and/or loose connections can cause a motor to overheat and shut off on the overload protector inside the motor. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, February 24, 2017
