Here are your parts Replacement parts for Estate TEDS840PQ0 29"ELECTRIC DRYER | AppliancePartsPros.comA thermostat cannot cause a noise. If you had the belt off make sure you re-installed it correctly. It is hard to troubleshoot without actually being there. Can you narrow it down as to where the noise is coming from. Things to check would be the blower , the idler wheel, rear drum support rollers, front drum supports etc. [COLOR="DarkRed"]surging noise[/COLOR] Hold the door switch closed and run it in air only mode to see if the drum is changing speed. Do not run it in a heating mode with the door open as this may blow the thermal-cut-off. [COLOR="DarkRed"] or whirring noise[/COLOR] whirring sounds like a high speed noise so I would start with the blower as that runs hi-speed. Next would be the belt/motor. The belt may be slipping. If you had it off did you put it back together with the ridges facing the motor's pulley? |

I tried it in air dryer and it did not do it. It sounds like it slows down and speeds up if that helps and only when heat is being used. Like it bogs down and starts up.

I would unplug the unit and check to see if thge element is grounded.
Check the heating coil.
Unplug the unit and both wires to the coil.
Check it with a meter, should be around 10 to 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 draw too much power.
My thought is that the heater is lowering the line voltage when on and this is bogging the motor.
Another possibility is a problem with the line or plug.
The spec I see for the replacement element is 5400 watts. Unfortunately I do not know what the original one was but if it was less than it may have not had a problem with a bad line.
You could monitor the power (120 volts) to see if it drops when the heater turns on.
The L1 (black) to Neutral is the side that powers the motor.
Would not hurt to also take a look at the other side to see if it also drops.
If not then you at least know what side is no good and it may halp finding the problem.
[COLOR="Red"]If you do this be very, very careful as you are close to 240 volts and it is lethal.[/COLOR] |
