Dryer heats sometimes. Sometimes it works and heats up and other times it blows cold air. I have already replaced heating element and thermostat and cleaned the dryer
For model number AED4675YQ0
Hi Scott,
Thank you for your question. If your dryer is not heating and you have already replaced the heating element and the thermostat, there are some other parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. If you dryer is not heating, the issue may be with the thermal fuse. The thermal fuse is designed to prevent the dryer from overheating. Once a dryer's thermal fuse has blown, it is no longer of any use. If your dryer's fuse has blown, you will have to replace it. To verify if the fuse is working, you will need to test it with a multimeter for continuity. Before performing this test, unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet. Set you multimeter to the Rx1 setting and touch the terminals with the probes to test for continuity. If you receive a reading other than zero or infinity, there is no continuity and you will need a replacement thermal fuse. Another part to check is the timer. If the electrical components inside the timer are not working correctly, it can prevent the dryer from producing heat. To test it for continuity, set your multimeter to the Rx1 setting and place the probes on the timer's terminals. If you receive a reading of anything other than 2000-3000 ohms of resistance, you need a replacement timer. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!
First tried heating element and thermal fuse with no luck. Ordered thermal cutoff and fixed problem. Had I used an ohm meter first I would have determined problem before having ordered heating element and fuse, as both had resistance. I wast just lazy and ordered the took the most common failed components first before taking dryer back off.
Pryed dryer top open and opened front door. . Unscrewed the 2 retaining screws. Pulled old switch from the wiring harness. Put new switch in place and replaced the retaining screws. Put new switch wire plug into the wiring harness. Before closing top, checked door switch function with dryer on. Dryer cut off when door open and when closed dryer started normally. . . Maint. Note instruction book should warn that letting door slam, which I did on occaision, broke the switch arm. Might save future problems.
