John November 18, 2012 for Model Number TEA600 I have a Amana dryer Model Tea600. It stoped heating. Will a heating element P/N AP4072871 be the right one to fix the problem?
1 Answer Hello John. 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...
John November 18, 2012 for Model Number TEA600 My dryer has stoped heating. I think the element has gone out. The model number is TEA600. Will this element work on my dryer? Thank You.
Bruce R June 20, 2012 for Model Number Amana TEA 400-L Replaced heating element with part 61927 and it worked fine. Then I tried to reverse the door and found it could not be reversed. The door latch broke but I can hold it closed and dryer starts. The door used to open 1/2 way and now it opens all the way,so I must have installed it wrong,would that stop it from heating
1 Answer Bruce, It sounds like you installed the door properly, to be honest, As long as the door shuts and the motor starts and runs, it should heat, unless there's an issue with a thermostat, or wire, you may want to recheck the connections and check the thermosat for a "closed" circuit with a meter. As for the door catch LA-1003, that should be a breeze for you. here's some meter usage info if you need it, [http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html] Thanks Read More...
Marlane February 10, 2012 for Model Number NE4613W43721 I replaced the heating element on my speed queen marathon electric dryer manufactured in 1990. I ordered the part from All Appliance Pros. First heating element seemed defective. Second replacement elements worked briefly, but only on certain settings on the timer. Now there is no heat at all. How can I tell by looking at it if the element has been damaged, or if it was defective originally? Also, are there other parts that could be responsible for causing the element fail? Do I need to order another element? Do I need the brains and timer? Is there another fuse/ or thermostat that is not on the element that may need to be replaced? I'd really like to save the dryer. I do want to let you know that I was running a space heater in my kitchen that got too hot and I had to reset all the breakers in my basement; after that I noticed a gradual decline in the dryer's efficiency before it did not heat at all. Do you think that had something to do with it? I think I can replace the faulty parts myself. Do you think that it is worthwhile to do so? Thanks, Marlane
1 Answer Hi Marlene. Great question. The element failure rate has to do w/ a vent flow blockage mainly. Try to look at the back of the dryer w/out moving it. See if in the normal position that there is a kink ,where the lint and moisture begins to build up and back up the heat and clothes moisture back into the dryer. This red-hot heated element will now be a white -hot and expand the element. Over a short time this will expand, contract the element time and time again until it shorts out and by safety it opens the high-limit fuse and thermal fuses. You need to really remove the front panel and access the element, blower hsg thermal fuse and the safety fuse and hi-limit t-stat on the heater can. If any one of these are open then you will not get the voltage to the element. You need to test the element for resistance (11- 18 ohms) not open or shorted to the casing. You will need to invest in the volt/ohm meter part # WB27T10549. As you clean the entire vent system including the vent cap /hood outside to open and close right. Not allowing the night moisture or rain/snow moisture back into the vent to create another block. You need to do this 4/5x yr. so the 15,000 yr house fires will not occur. If the element is damaged it will physically break open or be stuck/welded to the heater case and you may need to yank it out being shorted to the case. The element part # 61927 and the element mount assy. will be burnt black at the point of issue. There is a thermal fuse mounted at the front of the heater can along with the thermal fuse. They now come in a kit part # R9900489. Your space heater runs on 120 vac. The dryer runs on 240 vac, not the same breaker/ circuit. Not likely a related issue. Do you also hear a thumping steady noise as if the blower wheel is stripped on the motor shaft. Blower part # 56000.You will need to hold the motor pulley and unscrew the blower wheel from the motor shaft with a wrench and socket. It is counterclockwise threads. If there is improper air flow this will overheat the internal parts also affecting as we spoke of b/4. Thank You. Read More...
Marlane February 04, 2012 for Model Number Model Speed Queen Dryer Model NE 4613 W43721 Hello, I changed the heating element, but it only heats on a couple of settings. What else could be wrong? Do I need to change the fuse that controls the maximum amount of heat?
1 Answer Marlane, I don't think you need a fuse, but it is a possible you need a thermostat WPY61372. Also check and make sure the exhaust venting is clear of any clogs or debris. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Marlane January 29, 2012 for Model Number Speed Queen Dryer Model NE 4613 W43721 Serial number is S6469699YJ manufactured in 1990. Need to know how to install heating element assembly, part number AP4072871. Can't figure out where it goes in the dryer. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Marlane. You will need to raise the top of the dryer and remove the screws securing the front panel. Then remove the front panel. You will locate the heater 61927 under the drum on the left hand side of the unit in the back. You can access and replace the heater from this point. Hope this helps. Read More...
Boom T. July 21, 2011 for Model Number LEM847W amana electric dryer I ordered a thermal fuse which goes on the side of the heating element. I want to make sure I get it all wired back the way it should be. Will instructions come with the Thermal Fuse as to how to wire everything back up under their. Someone tried working on it before I got it and the wrong part was were the Thermal Fuse was supposed to be and a couple of wires were burnt up and I'm sure it wasn't wired properly. Just want to get it wired back right. Help!!
1 Answer Hi Boom. Can you access the inside of the control panel back. Inside you will find your electrical wiring diagram which will show the correct colered wires and the manner that the "series" thermostats are wired. The heater assembly needs replaced so the new wires will not burn. This part # is 61927. Also 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. There is a gray wire that goes to the bottom of the thermal fuse (mounted to the rt.). The top of the thermal fuse is then jumpered to the rt side of the Limit thermostat (mounted on the Lt.). Then there is a black jumper wire from the top left of the heater to the left side terminal of the limit thermostat. They have to be the exact "gauge" wire size to safely carry the amperage needed for your system. Thank You. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Jon. Yes, according to the model number you provided, 61927 will work in your dryer. Hope this helps. Read More...
