dryer wont dry clothes, makes a loud sound when running, dont know if it's the heating coil or the element. runs fine just wont heat[/COLOR]
I am a bit confused.
You say that it "runs fine" but "makes a loud sound" which to me means that it is not running fine?
I doubt the noise and no heat are related so it sounds like you have 2 problems.
I would need a better description of the sound and approximate location to take a guess at that.
On the no heat.
The first thing to do is check the power. The heater requires the full 240.
Try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times, sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker.
If this does nothing, check the voltage at the plug
L1 to L2 should be 240 volts
L1 to Neutral and L2 to Neutral, both should be 120 volts.
If OK
Unplug the unit and check the wires at the terminal strip in the machine to make sure none are loose or burned out
If OK
Check the power at the terminal strip.
Be careful as 240 volts is lethal !!!
Next, unplug the machine.
Remove one wire from the heater and check it.
It should be about 12 ohms.
If OK
Remove one wire from the hi-limit thermostat and check it. Should be 0 ohms.
If it is blown you have to find out what caused it to go.
Note: that sometimes they do just blow on their own but changing it without checking other things is a gamble.
Check the heating coil.
Unplug the unit and both wires to the coil.
Check it with a meter, should be around 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. This can cause it to run on high and the thermostats cannot regulate it so the thermal fuse blows.
You still have to find out why it blew.
Check that the belt is OK.
Check the seals (drum etc) in the unit. The air is pulled over the heating coils, through the drum and pushed out the exhaust. So any large seal leak will pull in room air and the cycling thermostat on the blower will run the unit hot.
Check the thermistor.
Check that the lint filter is not coated with fabric softener residue which greatly reduces air flow.
Check/clean your vent system.
Check/clean the blower wheel.
If all OK you may want to replace the control board as it's heat relay contacts may not be opening (welded shut).
