When I search for fuses there are several for this model and I am not sure what is the right part if any and where it is located.
Thanks for any direction.
DW,
Are you sure the element is warm ?
I think, it's a transfer from the hot water.
Yes, there is a fuse in the heater circuit, but, it is a "one shot" fuse, if it opens up, it has to be repalced.
Let's try this,
We need to check the heater circuit,
*** This is a live voltage test, BE CAREFUL ***
Set the timer in the dry cycle.
Set the selector switch to heated dry.
Close the door,and start the machine.
Start at the heating element and work your way backwards.
Use chassis ground as common and check for 120 Volts AC
At the white/purple wire at the element.
At the Orange wire at the element.
At the orange wire at the fuse.
At the white/red wire at the fuse.
Where ever you loose the voltage, is the bad component.
If you have no voltage, at any checks, you'll need to acces the control panel and check the selector switch and wiring in the door.
Let us know what you find and we can help you out from there.
Good Luck,
:) :) :)
