Jim January 05, 2024 for Model Number 41784052500 While drying a down vest on low heat with a sneaker to help fluff up the contents of the vest, the sneaker got caught between drum and frame front, jamming the drum from moving. When I got to machine it still had 2 minutes left but was not running. When trying to restart after removing jammed sneaker, it will not restart. All the setting show up to restart and I hear the door lock click but will not turn on either the drum or the motor to drive the drum. No error codes show at this time. Did I burn out the Thermal Limiter? Or is there another area that I need to address? Thanks
1 Answer Jim, the drum would need to be rotated to identify if it will rotate freely. If it does rotate freely, the main control 137008010NH would need to be accessed and tested for 120VAC at connection J4 pin 2 when the door is closed. If there is voltage, the door switch and thermal limiter are good. At that point, the main control would need to be tested for 120VAC at connection J4 pin 1 when a cycle is started. If there is not voltage, the control has failed. If there is voltage, and the motor does not operate, the motor 131560100 has failed. If the motor does operate but the drum does not spin, the belt 134503600 has likely broken. Read More...
Jen D June 30, 2022 for Model Number 417.84152500 Kenmore Dryer - No Heat The dryer turns on, spins, all the lights for the settings light up properly when you press the buttons. All the lint is cleaned out. We just replaced the whole heating element assembly. (For which you have to take the entire dryer apart.) Still no heat! What do you think is the problem? I don't know if I want to take the entire thing apart again!
1 Answer Jen, the terminal block where the power cord connects will need to be tested for 240VAC from the red wire to the black wire. If there is 240VAC, the next step would be testing the main control 134484214NH (part has been discontinued by the manufacturer) at the heater relay from the red wire to the black wire during a heat cycle. If the voltage shows 240VAC, the main control has failed. If it shows 0VAC, the control is good and the dryer would need to be turned off and unplugged. The black wire of the heater relay can then be tested for continuity to the black wire at the connection J2 pin 3. If there is not continuity, the hi-limit thermostat 3204267 has failed. If there is continuity, it is likely that the motor 131560100 has failed. Read More...
Randy February 23, 2022 for Model Number AEQ8000FE0 Hello, my dryer ( AEQ8000FEO ) runs for a while then shuts off and won't restart till it cools down. What do you think is going on ?
1 Answer Randy, You will want to put the unit into a diagnostic mode using the tech sheet that comes with the unit and see if there are any stored error codes as this might lead to the issue. Do a visual inspection of the bearing slide at the front of the unit and check to make sure that the idler pulley glides freely;. Read More...
Jerry July 23, 2021 for Model Number FASE7074LNO My dryer runs for about 8 to10 minutes and then shuts off with a code of E64. It does have heat.
1 Answer Jerry, Thanks for the question!!! E64 is a heating circuit error code. Your heater or any of the heating circuit components could still have an issue as it heats up. Dig in and check those components electrically and physically. The last option would be to replace the control. Read More...
Bub August 08, 2019 for Model Number FDE216RES2 If the thermal limiter switch goes out will it reset after the dryer cools down and then continue to work again ? Thanks
1 Answer Bud, On the model number you supplied, the thermal limiter 134120900 will not reset. It is a "one-shot fuse" basically. If the limiter opens due to an overheat incident, the fuse circuit will "open" but will not "close" and will need to be replaced in order for the dryer to operate again. Read More...
Uncle Ernie July 02, 2019 for Model Number GLEQ2152ES0 My dryer gets WARM, but not hot. Vent is clear. Any suggestions??
1 Answer Uncle Ernie, You will need to check the heater and make sure it has not broke and grounded itself to the heater housing. Second, you will need to check the thermistor reading from the control board at pins J2-4 and J2-5 for a reading of 50K ohms. It should be one of these issues. Read More...
John October 13, 2018 I have a Frigidaire FEQB4000FSO. The start button and the top four lights to the right blink six times the start button blinks two more time and the sequence start over. What is the problem?
1 Answer Hello John, the flash sequence is indicating error code 62. This error code is not listed for the model number supplied which could mean more than likely the board is defective. Thanks! Read More...
Ernie October 12, 2018 for Model Number 41799370120 The temperature limiter (thermal fuse) recently went out on my washer/dryer combo. While I was in there replacing it, I replaced the bearing on the back of the tumbler and gave it a thorough cleaning. There was lint packed in in many places. After I gave it the tune-up, the thermal limiter had gone out again (I’m pretty sure that’s the problem, it’s behaving the same way again). It’s only been a couple of months. Anyone know why this may be recurring?
1 Answer Hello Ernie, The thermal fuse is opened thermally, (excessive heat). You will need to check the exhaust ducting from the back of the dryer to the outside of your home for restrictions. Anything that will slow down air flow will contribute to this issue. Read More...
Robert August 07, 2018 for Model Number AEQ8700FE0 My dryer stops running after 10 seconds and lights on the right blink. I've replaced the control board but this did not change the issue. I cannot enter diagnostic or test modes. Prior to replacing the control board, the dryer would only run on low heat.
1 Answer Hello Robert, You should first press and hold the Select and Cancel buttons simultaneously for 6 seconds or disconnect power from the dryer. The dryer will be reset for regular operation. If not, check all connections and check the control panel for stuck keys. If normal operation is restored, pressing and holding the Select and Cancel buttons simultaneously for 6 seconds should reset the control. The buzzer should sound 1 time and “rES” will be shown briefly in the display. Read More...
Wet Laundry June 08, 2018 for Model Number Kenmore M460-G Some bleach spilled on the top of my dryer. I went to dry it up when suddenly the plug sparked. My husband is an electrician and when he came home we determined that the breaker wouldn't stay on when the dryer was plugged in. After taking the lid off, we tried to trace back to where the problem was coming from and we believe it is somewhere in the area of the timer. Would this make sense? Would it be the thermal fuse that is blown or messed up? What could have gotten wet (assuming that's what happened) and caused the breaker to "Refuse" to stay on when in connection with the dryer?
1 Answer Hello Wet Laundry, I'm sorry but you will need to open the unit and determine what component is causing the issue. It will most likely be an obvious issue since the breaker tripping will indicate a "dead short to ground". You will need an ohm meter and the unit will need to be disconnected from the power supply to locate the issue. Read More...
