My dryer was not hearing up and will not shut off. I was still running it for hours at a time to dry clothes a d now it is making a grinding noise. Easy fix or do i need to replace the whole dryer
Hi Ashley,
Thank you for your question. If your dryer is not heating and will not shut off, check the vent for any clogs. If lint is clogging the vent, it will need to be cleaned out. The vent should be cleaned out at least twice a year. There are some other parts that you will need to check as well to see if one of them is causing the issue. Here are links from our website that you may reference on what parts to check, https://www.partselect.com/AdvancedModelSymptoms.aspx?ModelNum=NED4600YQ1&mfgModelNum=&fkMfgID=1&ModelMasterID=829762&PID=39 and https://www.partselect.com/AdvancedModelSymptoms.aspx?ModelNum=NED4600YQ1&mfgModelNum=&fkMfgID=1&ModelMasterID=829762&PID=19. You will need to test the parts with a multi-meter. Here is a link to one of our videos on YouTube that you may use as a general reference on how to use one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWC44fHn0As. For more information on how to test these parts, click on the Appliance Repair link on our website and on the next page that comes up click on the dryer icon. When the next page comes up, you will be provided with a symptoms list. Choose the "No heat or not enough heat" and "Will not shut off" symptoms and the information will come up for you. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

My dryer is 11 year's old and it takes a long time to dry my clothes! I replaced the belt last summer and it does get hot !
Hi Randy,
Thank you for your question. If your dryer takes along time to dry the clothes, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the lint filter, the blower wheel, the felt drum seal and the door seal. You should also check the exhaust vent for any clogs. If it is clogged, it will need to be cleaned out. We have included a link from our website that you may reference on how to check these parts. Once you have determined the part you need, please call customer service. We look forward to hearing from you!

The repair was easy. the most time consuming part was vacuuming the dust from the back of the Dryer, The repair required removing screw from the back panel of the dryer. Then removing screws from the heating element and unplugging the wires. The only moderately diffculy part was swapping the sensor form the old element.
