Blew the positive terminal fuse last week, replaced fuse and display turned on. Pressed start on dryer and blew fuse again. I just tested the heating element with a continuity tester and it was food. Help?
For model number GTDS850ED0WS
Hello Kevin , Thank you for the question. The fuse will blow as a safety precaution if the appliance is over heating. We suggest testing the High Limit Thermostat on the Element Housing. Also open up the cabinet and clean out any lint build up as well as in the ducts and vents. We hope this helps.
The end repair was very simple and took minimal effort. The time and difficulty was all in the testing. I disassembled the dryer and removed the drum and then hard wired each thermo-fuse to determine where the fault was. After test all of those I was stumped. When I opened the door the light would not come on so I assumed it was a pow
... Read moreer fault closer to the source. However after all of my testing I couldn't find anything wrong. I then removed the light bulb and realized it was burned out which led me to the door switch being the fault. I removed the switch and soldered the three wire together and the dryer started right up! All I had to do was order a new $15 part, unsolder the wires and plug them in. Would have been so much simpler if that light bulb hadn't of been burned out causing me to over think my diagnosis. This was my first major appliance repair and I did it with only the help of the parts diagram provided on the website.
I removed the door and "flipped" it to open right to left. Rather than remove the existing door latch I added the purchased latch on the right side to enable opening the door right to left or left to right.
