Ti October 13, 2017 for Model Number EED4300TQ0 I checked the thermal fuse, the high limit thermostat, and the operating thermostat and they all have continuity. The heating elements also good. But i am still not getting heat. I can see the heating element heat up when jumping independently from the dryer so it will heat up. DO you thin kit could be simple replacing the connection wire? Or should i also trace the wire.
1 Answer TI, There are 2 components other than the thermostats which would cause the heating element not to work. First is the motor and second the timer. The best option is to disconnect the power to the unit and access the heating element. Disconnect one wire that is going to the heating element, preferably the one on the thermostat side. Plug the unit back up and using a multimeter you will want to turn the dryer on and test for 120 vac at the terminal on the heater where the wire was disconnected. What this will do is eliminate the heater element itself and the motor. If there is 120 vac at this point then you know the heater is good and the motor is good because the other 120 vac coming through the thermostats is the timer side of the circuit. If there is not 120 vac at that point then you will want to test the other terminal on the heater and check for 120 vac. If there is not 120 vac then the motor would be bad . Read More...
Javier September 08, 2017 for Model Number LE7680XSW1 Will this wire kit fit the hi-limit thermostat connector or is there another kit? I need to replace the wire connecting the heating element to the thermostat at the thermostat end since it is burned out.
1 Answer Hello Javier. Yes, you will need to order 279457 for the heater wire needed for the unit. You crimp on the connector needed for the other end. Thanks. Read More...
Michaelb September 05, 2017 for Model Number WED9200SQ0 I just replaced the heating coil. It went well and dryer is heating again. But I noticed that the wire that ran from the heating coil to the thermostat was not in good shape (insulation burned through). I electrical taped it and I want to order a new one but I see that the replacement wire (279457) only has a terminal at one end, the other is open. I would prefer to have the female socket on both ends as the OEM has it. isn't that safer? How can I find a part that has a terminal at both ends?
1 Answer Michael, There is not a wire with 2 connectors on it as this is for if the wire gets damaged you would splice this wire to it. Read More...
Derek Dobbertin June 26, 2017 for Model Number Whirpool RMC305PDD1 Looking at the back of the oven the terminal on the left is burnt out and needs to be replaced. What kind of connector do I get? Once I get it do I strip the wire and replace the connector? Would a normal home improvement store have that connector? I already ordered a new element.
1 Answer Derek, This terminal that will be needed is a 1/4" hi temp female spade connector part number TJMA02875-1. Read More...
Kimberley March 20, 2017 for Model Number TEDX640EQ2 My Estate dryer isn't heating. I am sure the heating element at the very least is out. I was wondering if I would be ok buying a heating element only or should I replace the connecting wire and fuse? I want to make sure I get the right parts. I am pretty handy but this is my first time dealing with this. Thanks.
1 Answer Kimberly, You would want to test the thermostat and thermal fuse to make sure that there is continuity. If this checks ok then the issue will most likely just be the heater. Read More...
Steve February 07, 2017 for Model Number whirlpool wed5300vw0 New to me dryer, was taking way too long to dry. It got warm but not hot. Lent screen was fine, blower is good, all sensors and heating element have give results on volt meter. However, there are only two wires going to the heating element. No orange wire and no jumper wire. Could this be the cause? If I just need the jumper wire, is it sold by itself? Steve
1 Answer Hello Steve. The only way you will need a jumper is if you see 2 terminals open and they are not hooked together on the heater housing. Jumper wires are not available separately. You will only have 1 wire going to your heater. There will be a jumper from the high limit thermostat WP3977767 to the thermal cut off 279816. Then the thermal cut off will have a hot wire coming to the top spade on it. All dryers do not have the orange wire. This is common. Read More...
Hector January 19, 2017 for Model Number AED4475TQ1 Dryer not drying clothes. Replaced thermal fuse and heating element. Now only the "timed high heat" function on the dial produces heat. Is the problem related to the dial, or is there a short somewhere?
Lydia January 16, 2017 for Model Number 110.61202011 My element only has two wires. I didn't see how they were removed when a friend tested them. He told me what part to get, but I don't know how to put it back on with only two wires since all the video's show three.
1 Answer Hello Lydia, This is a simple job since the spade connectors are different sizes. They will not plug in where they should not be. The large connectors go to the heater connectors. If there are more than one that will fit, they can be crossed with no adverse consequences. Read More...
Jen December 28, 2016 for Model Number 11060702990 I removed the heating element from my dryer. It is all black and sooty. I ordered a new element and new thermostats. am I on the right track for repair. none of the coils on the heating element appear to be burned through.
1 Answer Jen, If the problem is the dryer won't heat, then you'll have the majority of the possible problems solved by replacing the heater and thermostats, so you're on track. You may also want to remove the front panel assembly, and vacuum any excess and residual lint from the base of the machine, as well as the internal components inside the cabinet. This could account for the "black and sooty" condition of the heater and housing. Read More...
Repair Husband August 27, 2016 I used the heating element connecting wire repair kit and a new element but the repair wire actually burned at the connector nut. The nut & wires disintegrated and there is black soot everywhere.
1 Answer Repair husband, This sounds like it would have been a bad connection and would recommend making sure that there is a good connection and that there is enough wire from the harness that is good and has no corrosion on it. Read More...
