Ok, Here is a good one! Moved into a new house 10 years ago and came with new appliances. So I packed up my 2 year old Maytag LDE9206ACE Electric dryer, disassembled it and stored it in the basement. The dryer that came with the house finally went and now here come the Maytag out of the mothballs. Reassembled it. Works with some issues. Auto Dry does not heat. Looked at the parts diagram and it does not seem to have a moisture sensor. Works great on "Timed" maybe too much as clothes get HOT! Checked the wiring diagram for the timer and it looks good. I thinking maybe Cycling thermostat? Any suggestions?

Here are your parts Replacement parts for MAYTAG LDE9206ACE DRYER- ELE | AppliancePartsPros.comHere is a service manual, page 5-67 is the wiring for this unit. http://appliancedigest.com/index.php?/files/file/472-16008714-1994-1997-maytag-dryers-service-manual/You have to join the site to download the manual but it is free and this is a very good site for manuals and other info for the appliance repair DIYer. I doubt it would be the thermostat as nothing really changes in it's heating circuit contacts when the unit is switched from timed to auto dry. All they do is use the normally open contact set in the thermostat to now run the timer motor so that the timer motor only advances when the heater is shut off. I would re-check the timer contact set 1 (BK to YL) when in auto. They should be 0 ohms. Disconnect the yellow wire when measuring them as this prevents you from reading an alternate/parallel circuit path. A long shot would be to also check your heating element. Check the heating coil. Unplug the unit and both wires to the coil. Check it with a meter, should be around 10 to 12 ohms. Then check from each side of the coil to the case/frame, both should be infinite ohms (open). If not the coil may have sagged or broken and is touching the case. Could be it is doing something weird. |
