I have a roper dryer that is drying slowly, gets hot but takes a long time to dry the cloths, most times have to reset the total drying time over again, Model REL 4634BW1. Have cleaned the exhaust line and internal areas, no restrictions, have tightened the electric line and plug. Should I replace Themostat, or limit control, or thermostat cut off? These parts are inexpensive. Do you have a better idea? Thanks Bob

Here are your parts Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL REL4634BW1 | AppliancePartsPros.comHere is the wiring diagram https://www.servicematters.com/docs/wiring/Wiring%20Sheet%20-%203399125.pdfYou need heat and air flow for correct drying so try the below: Vent Check Undo the dryer from the exhaust Run a load If the load dries correctly then you have a vent problem. Clean/check the vent system. Make sure the outside louvers open fully. If you do not want lint in the house. Take a pair of pantyhose, put one leg into the other and attach this to the dryer exhaust. Leave enough room behind the dryer so it can blow out like a windsock. Run a load. Both the above will allow you to check the air flow and temp. Also the above is NOT recommended for a gas dryer due to possible carbon monoxide problems. Check your lint screen sometimes it can become coated from fabric softener residue and drastically reduce air flow. If coated clean with soap and water. Check that the blower wheel is properly attached to the motor's shaft, sometimes they can strip out. Also make sure it is clean. Does changing the temperature setting change the actual temperature? Could be you have a grounded element. To check: Unplug the unit. Remove both wires from the heater element. Check between the wires, should be approximately 10 ohms. Then check from each side to the case/frame should be open (infinite ohms) Sometimes you can see where the element is touching the case. |
