Bob for Model Number ALE443RAW My dryer appears to be running very hot, even at the lower temperature setting. I recently replaced the motor because the dryer would shut off when hot and eventualy the motor stopped working completely. The motor works fine now but the hot temperature issue still remains. I checked the vent from the filter to the vent flap and it is fine. I only have two elbows and 4 ft of hose to the outside and it is not kinked. 1. What should the dryer discarge temperature be? 2. What kind of resistance should I be reading on the hi limit thermostate, AP4298584? could it be anything else, thank you for your time!
Answer Hello Bob. Test the temperature with a meter. It should rise to around 160°, then start coming down. If not, the cycling thermostat may need to be replaced on the unit. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, September 19, 2012
