Hello. I am having an issue with the AF (air flow) error on my Cabrio dryer. I recently posted the following question on the appliancepartspros website and received the following answer: QUESTION: "I had been getting an AF error (air flow). I had the vent professionally cleaned and still got AF. My dryer then stopped working. There is full power but once I hit start it the unit does nothing. I fixed replaced the thermal fuse and was able to do two loads of laundry and it stopped working again. I tested the thermal fuse with a multimeter and it needs to be replaced again. What could be the bigger issue that I need to fix. I'm assuming the motor is fine since the drum was tumbling fine and the blower wheel doesn't seem to have any resistance when I turn it by hand. Could it be the thermostat, thermal cut-off, or thermister? Or something else? Thanks!" ANSWER "Hello Chav. You need to test the thermistor 8577274 and see if it is causing the issues with the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepa...uity-ohmmeter.html"UPDATE: So I bought and installed a new thermal fuse and thermister and after a couple of minutes of running the dryer the AF code re-appears. What would be the next logical issue that I can try to fix. Thanks!

Your model number is missing several digits at the end of it.
May be I am reading the below wrong. [COLOR="Blue"]the blower wheel doesn't seem to have any resistance when I turn it by hand.[/COLOR]
The blower wheel should have some resistance as it is on the motor which is connected to the drum etc. Could be it is stripped. Or did you test it with the belt disconnected. |
