Mike for Model Number Amana Dryer Model #NED7200TW My dryer was working fine and then just stopped heating during a load, (on Low). I turned it back on to try to dry them as best as possible with just fan. They never got warm at all. I put a second load in to try to do the same and those got REALLY hot! Dryer was set on Low setting. My wife said they were so hot she was afraid of fire. The dryer shut off on its on and had an HE code on the display. My original thought was bad heating element but that's obviously not it. I noticed their are 2 thermostats listed. I assume that one is a Hi limit, which in my case isn't working. Should I order both or can the Hi limit keep the element off? What's your thoughts on this problem? Thanks for any help you can provide!
Answer Hello Mike. You need to test the thermistor. Component Electrical Testing (with ohmmeter) • Thermistor resistance 10K O @ 25°C 77°F PTC (2P-Blue & Red wire) • Thermostat 1 resistance < 1O (White & Yellow wire) You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
