Dustin May 08, 2014 for Model Number ldg5004aaw I recently replaced the coils, the heat sensor, thermostats and themal fuse on my dryer. The ignitor turns on, ignites the flame and after a short time, the burner clicks, turns off and after a few moments the ignitor turns back on and reignites the burner. However, the dryer is not getting warm. Keep in mind, I am testing the dryer without clothes in it. Any suggestions for what could be keeping the dryer from producing consistent heat?
1 Answer Hello Dustin. The flame should cycle on and off. It should go up and down in temp. You need to test the temp at the vent on the dryer. It should cycle from 100 to 150° on high heat cycle. 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...
Bill June 15, 2013 for Model Number LDG5004AAW Maytag Heavy Duty model # LDG5004AAW will heat and dry, however on occasion it will not shut off and will continue to run and heat. Does it sound like the timer, and maybe if I clean it a little? Any suggestions or ideas, hate to purchase a new timer if that is not the solution, however there are not to many other items it can be. Thanks.
1 Answer Bill, This issue may be caused by a stuck start switch. You will want to test the switch for continuity and if it has continuity with the switch not being pushed then it is faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Shirley August 12, 2012 for Model Number LDE5005ACE Our dryer will not heat. ..repair man says it needs a timer..does this seem right..I haven't found any info to support this (this was a new repairman to us)
1 Answer Hello Shirley. If the timer WPY308218 is not sending 120 volts out to the heater, it will prevent the dryer from heating in the unit. Read More...
