![]() Model Number: ler4634eq1 Brand: Whirlpool Age: 5 - 10 years
![]() The same fuse in the fusebox blows, usually once a week. the dryer continues to run, no heat, no timer function. i disassembled the machine completely, looking for anything obvious, found lots of garbage and dirt everywhere, but nothing obvious. looking at the schematic, points to the heater asembly as the likely problem. but why does it work for a few days and THEN fail? I guess i better buy a wizywg. Related Models |

![]() what should I look for? loose connections, that sort of thing? the fuse box has quite an odor when it goes. there must be a loose connection on that leg somewhere, I guess. i put an amp clamp on it, 20 amps. maybe the in-rush is getting it. i wonder if there is a slo-blow screw-in fuse? it's been ok for years.

![]() Look for burnt wiring, blackened wire, corrosion, anything out of the ordinary, even a loose wire will cause this. I'm not to sure about a slo-blow fuse for it, usually those are buss type fuses. I run into microwaves that do this quite a bit on circuit breakers where the magnetic draw on the wire will trip the breaker, not beacause there is too much of an amp draw, simply because the magnetic energy pulled on that leg of the breaker will trip it. But in your case inspect the connection at the panel.
