Art September 08, 2014 for Model Number frigidaire gallery series commercial heavy duty model number 1342 Dryer heat does not turn on.
1 Answer Hello Art. Check and make sure you have 240 volts coming to the dryer. Check and make sure the unit is not set to Air Fluff. Also check the heater and thermostats and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter MA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity. 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...
Linda August 01, 2014 for Model Number eigd55hiw0 My gas dryer is giving an "e 66" error; The youtube video I watched (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ornFxw2D7yk) says it would be the inlet thermal cutoff, outlet thermal cutoff or high-limit thermostat. I'm not seeing these parts on the appliance parts list. Is there another name for them? I don't want to order the wrong thing. I see a thermostat but not high-limit but no thermal cutoffs. Thanks
1 Answer Linda, The outlet thermal limiter 134711401 and is located on the side of the outlet ducting. The inlet thermal cutoff is located on the side of the burner housing and is part number 137539200. Read More...
Joe November 10, 2013 for Model Number FSG747GES1 Frigidaire stackable dryer. Dryer does not get hot. I can hear a click down near the burner area, then I can see a orange glow for 10 seconds or so. The glow goes out... no heat. Thanks for your help. I have used you folks several times with great success!!!!!
1 Answer Hello Joe. You will need to test the thermostats and the flame sensor and make sure they are good. They should read closed for continuity. Also, check the igniter to see if it is good. If it is not glowing, test for power. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter for the testing procedures. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Jer October 25, 2013 for Model Number westinghouse Hi, I have a gas westinghouse dryer. The dryer will turn on, and ignites and burns for a couple minutes, but then the flame will go out but the dryer itself will keep running. If I turn it off and wait about 30 min. and try it again the same thing will happen, it will ignite, but then the flame will go off after a couple minutes (flame goes out all at once). I initially thought this was the flame sensor, and replaced it with a new one, but it is still doing the same thing. What else could be the issue? I would think since it is igniting it wouldnt be the ignitor, maybe some other part?
Michelle September 29, 2013 for Model Number GLGR331AS2 My dryer heats up and the drum turns but it will not dry the clothes on the first cycle it takes two or three times to dry the clothes. It seems like it is going to the cool down step too soon. Thank you!
1 Answer Michelle, You will first want to check the venting of your unit. If the vent is clogged it will take longer periods of time to dry the clothes due to the moisture has no path to escape. If the venting checks ok then it sounds like the cycling thermostat may be faulty and need to be replaced. Read More...
Jim May 14, 2013 for Model Number Glgq332as1 Dryer will not heat up ,will dry clothes after a few cycles,barely gets warm though.
1 Answer Jim, You will want to check to make sure that the venting from the blower wheel to the outside of the home is clear. If the venting is restricted it will cause the cycling thermostat to open too rapidly not allowing the unit to heat properly. Read More...
Brigitte P April 02, 2013 for Model Number DE27S6DPMC Gibson Heavy Duty - antique :-) Belt broke, called repairman. Had a hard time getting cover off finally jerked it off. Right knob "Regular, Low and Airfluff....has red wires behind it. Turned it on after he put belt on, drum turned, but no heat on "Regular" . there is heat on low and airfluff is just that, airfluff. What part do I need? From looking at the Service Data sheet (and yes, I still have that). It could be the regular Heat Thermostat. No problem with the switch, just not heating on Regular. When I have it on Low, I usually have the left switch on "Dry Time". thank you,
1 Answer Bridgitte, Based on the description, it does sound like this is going to be a bad regular thermostat. You will want to double check all the wiring. Unfortunately the thermostats on unit have been discontinued with no manufacturer replacement. Read More...
Lalo P February 22, 2013 for Model Number glgh1642fs1 The dryer igniter,and flame wont do anything. Doesn't heat up at all.
1 Answer Hello Lalo. If there is power to the igniter and it does not come on, you will need to replace the igniter. 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...
Danny January 08, 2013 for Model Number Kenmore Gas Dryer #417.94092500 On all cycles this dryer runs and the gas comes on and ignites but stays on for only 10 seconds then shuts off. On some cycles there is no light on any of the dryness choices selection indicator. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Danny, You will want to check the resistance of the coils of the dryer. Also check for amp draw on the ignitor. Ignitor should read between 3.2 and 3.6 amps. Read More...
David December 10, 2012 for Model Number fsg748gfs0, fwt449gfs0 This is a stacked washer/dryer: 1) The washer sounds more and more noisy as it spins out the water from the closes. What is wrong? Which parts to replace? 2)The dryer isn't turning off using the regular timed dry cycle and the automatic cycle (where it senses the dryness of the clothes) doesn't seem to work either. What to do?
1 Answer Hello David, For the noise issue with the washer you will want to make sure that the pump 131268401 is clean and does not have anything in it causing noise. If the pump checks ok then you would have a bad bearing 131525500 on the washer. The dryer issue sounds like a timer failure 131710100. Read More...
