[SIZE=3]I have an electric dryer, just over 3 years old. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Recently we had a lot of electrical issues due to storms, and we also cut power to our house while replacing a light switch. It was after the storms and replacment that we started a load of wash. When moving it to the dryer, we noticed the dryer has NO power. At first I was under the impression that it was the breaker box, needing a switch replaced or reset… but then I bought a[/SIZE][SIZE=3]n AC voltage tester. One that senses outlets and through wires without direct contact. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]The sensor indicates there is power to outlet, and power up the dryers power cord. However, I have no lights, no nothing on my dryer… except some mildew stink forming in my washer from wet clothes sitting over 36 hours![/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]I’ve taken apart (after unpluging since outlet is live) the back where the power cord is attached. Nothing is loose. I checked all three connections and the grounding wire.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]I’m not sure what could be the problem. I’m not even sure where to go next. Considering I paid $600 for the things several years ago, I don’t want to pay a $600 repair bill.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Any advice would be cherished. I’m not sure what else to check. Everything just says “check connections”, and check that your house hasn’t tripped/blown fuse. Both have already been ruled out.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Also in April this year I had a problem where it would not stop spinning unless unplugged, even out of cycle or turned off. It was not running heat while this was happening, or I probably would have had a fire. I ran diagnostics on it then, and it came up as a jammed button (with I never did find). I cleaned around all buttons and inside the door, reset with electronic code (needs power) and all was fine until now. [/SIZE]
