My dryer turns on does heat but does not shut off. I replaced the timer with a used online. still I am having the same problem. If I put it in "no heat dry" it runs its minutes and shuts off. If I put it in premanent press or regular cottons it does not shut off just keeps heating and drying way beyond the time needed( until it is manually shut off). this is an automatic model wich is suppopse to shut off when the clothes are dry. I now their must be a switch/sensor of some sort that cotrols the automatic feature. how can I go about truoble shooting this futher to make sure. I am very handy with all electrical testing equipment etc. I know that the sensors are located with the heating element on the back of the housing were the drum mounts up( i have replaced this in the past) I also know that thier is 2 to 3 different sensors and switches on the back of the dryer. Can some one explain this futher on wich switch does what and wich one I need?

Here is the parts breakdown. Replacement parts for General Electric NVLR333EV0WW Electric dryer | AppliancePartsPros.comThis is actually a GE so getting technical info on it is not possible at least I do not know where to get it. They like to keep things a secret. Often it is in the control console but you did not mention finding it. Here is a good link with basic dryer repair info. http://www.applianceaid.com/dryers.htmltake a look in the GE section Item 28 Sample Diagrams. I think yours may be close to the older stye GE. In auto modes the timer gets power through a heating element when the element is turned off. So the first thing I would check is that both elements are OK. Also that they are not grounded. Next I would check the resistor (Item 148 in Section 2). It drops the 240 heater voltage to 120 volts for the timer motor. |
