Jeff for Model Number ler8648lwo My dryer cuts off after a few minutes of running. You can start it back up again without having to wait for it to cool down. I've cleaned the vent and disconnected it. still having problem. Then I removed the vent chute from the back and cleaned it out. problem still exists. I've tested the cycle t-stat on the blower chute. It ohms out at zero for the red wires which are the bigger wires. The purple wire which are the smaller wires ohm out at 7.3 ohms. according to the other guy on the chat line is should have some resistance. I've tested the hi-limit and the thermal cut -off switches, on the heater chute, also and they zero out. I've checked the door switch just in case but it was at zero ohms also. Any other ideas on what the problem could be? While typing this I changed the setting of the temp switch to medium instead of high and it's staying running. Could it be the temp switch or is it a thermostat going bad? Thanks Jeff
Answer Hello Jeff. Either a wiring issue, or the house hold breaker is failing. You will need to check both. 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...
