Dryer Repair

avspot · #1 (**permalink**) 01-24-2008, 05:52 PM

Dryer was intermittenly shutting off, next time it ran it was opened to ck clothes, and it never started back up. I checked the door switch, and the start switch, both showed continuity. Im lost on what to do. I read about the thermal fuse, but I dont see this part in my dryer. How do I check these other parts, or where do i start. I have a multimeter and i am pretty fluent at using it. Thanks for any help I recieve, Jason

Hi Jason,

Did it make any unusual noises at start up?

Is it completely dead?

Did you check the power outlet?

No unusually noises at all.

It is completley dead.

I have not actually put a meter on the outlet, but I did check the breaker.

Thanks Jason

Hi Jason,

Before we go further make sure there is 240V from the outlet.
