Shawn for Model Number DLE330RCW Element comes on but then goes out. clothes wont dry I dont know whats going on. I took the dryer apart and cleaned the venting out it all works fine but when I open the door and turn the dryer on the heating element comes on for a few minutes and then goes out then comes back on then goes out. Takes me 140 minutes to dry a load of clothes. Any ideas what it could be?
Answer Hi Shawn. The heating element can be shorted to ground and allowing half of the circuit (element) to stay engaged. This part # is WPY503978.It sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly. Hope this helps. Thank you. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, August 29, 2011
