Hunter August 19, 2011 for Model Number DWSR483EG3WW What would cause the blower wheel not to operate when everything else seems to be working fine? The dryer is approx. three years old. Are there fuses or would it be the blower motor?
1 Answer Hello Hunter. If the blower wheel WE16M15 strips out on the motor shaft, the motor will run, but the wheel does not turn. Hope this helps. Read More...
Hunter August 19, 2011 for Model Number DWSR483EG3WW My dryer heats on all cycles and the tub rotates but it still takes 3 or 4 drying cycles to get the clothes dry. Could it be that the blower is not working?
1 Answer Hello Hunter. Yes, it could be the blower wheel WE16M15. It sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly. Hope this helps. Read More...
Jason August 18, 2011 for Model Number dbxr453et2ww I don't have any heat regardless of the cycle I am using. The vent line is clear. Could it be the thermostat or a blower wheel? Is there a heating assembly kit needed possibly?
1 Answer Hello Jason. 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 WE11M23 and thermal fuses WE4M137 WE4M160 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. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Bryan June 21, 2011 for Model Number DBSR453EB2WW My dryer is squeaking, I replaced the green glides, but still squeaking. I pinpointed the squeaking to the blower wheel grinding on the front plate. It has a lot of play, if I push it in by hand the squeaking stops but after a couple of minutes it works its way out into the metal. Is this a screw issue?? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Bryan. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the blower wheel WE16M15 WE1X688 is bad and will need to be replaced. The manufacture recommends replacing the clamp with the wheel. Hope this helps. Read More...
Wilbur May 07, 2011 for Model Number DJXR473EVOaa When running the dryer it only warms up does not get hot to dry cloths properly. That is on any cycle
1 Answer Hello Wilbur. Please disconnect the unit from the exhaust vent tube from the rear of the unit and run a cycle. If you notice that the unit is working fine, you will want to clean out the tubing. Hope this helps! Read More...
