Takes longer to dry large loads or heavy items in normal loads (e.g., jeans). This started recently.
I have already checked:
- Exhaust is clear and air flows freely
- Tore-down the dryer and cleaned all lint (there wasn't much)
- Checked operation of the thermostat, it is cycling at the rated temperature.
- Checked operation of the bias heater, the thermostat is cycling at lower temperatures in the "medium" and "low" heat settings
- Checked the heating element, ~ 9.7 ohm resistance
Does anyone know whether this is the correct resistance for that heating element?
The dryer is squeaking a lot and I need to replace the drum rollers and idler wheel. Could that somehow affect drying time?
Anything else I forgot to check?
Thanks in advance MV

I cannot find any info on the given model number. Trued here and the Sears site. Please check it.
Note that if this is not a USA unit I probably will not be able to find info on it.
Your heater resistance looks OK but I cannot confirm this.
Check if the drum speed is the same with light and heavy loads? If it is slower then that will effect dry times.
Did you check/clean the blower wheel? |

Will check drum speed as you suggest MV

OK I will not be able to find tech info on this unit.
The Sears Canada parts site stinks. I know because I am also Canadian. |
