Great video. Our dryer stopped heating so I watched your video, got out my digital meter, took the back off the dryer. Tested everything and there was no continuity through the thermal cut off. I got the model number off the dryer and looked up the parts diagram, got the part number. Found the part on Amazon for $8.00. Replaced the part and dryer works great. Thank you sooo much.

I have seen several different ways to install dryers but the common things are no foil venting and no plastic even if fire rested. Best is 4” rigid metal with as little number of joints. No screens at termination hood.

Great video - I appreciate you sharing this. Quick question: with testing the outlet, do you need to cut the power before doing that, to avoid getting electrocuted? Excuse my ignorance, but I always thought sticking stuff in electrical outlets was dangerous.
@eugeniorivera4818
@eugeniorivera4818 11 ай бұрын
If you cut the power then you’re defeating the purpose of the test. Yes it’s dangerous to stick two wires and complete a circuit. A multimeter is meant to do this tho. Voltage will only go over when the resistance is low enough, that’s when it gets dangerous. I suggest you just call a repair person whenever your unsure, it’s better to be sage then sorry.

Heating element shows 14 ohms. How can I test that Heating element gets 220? I've put one probe of multimeter on one of connectors of HA and second probe on second connectror of HA and there was nothing. Then I put one probe on connector of HA and second probe on body and got 110 . And i got the same when i tested second connector of HA. So i think i get 110 from both sides. Or i did that test incorrectly?

@DrunkinDonuts97
@DrunkinDonuts97 5 жыл бұрын
Hey, I was a manager for an HH Gregg. This is a really late reply to your post, but if you had a warranty through the Company, Warrentech was a third party warranty company. They covered appliances for other stores such as Home Depot, Sears, Lowes, and etc. All you would have to do is contact Warrentech (there numbers online I don't remember off the top of my head, sorry). As long as you kept your receipt/invoice they're be able to send someone out to either service it and if it couldn't be, they'd replace it. You said you had it for a little over a year and the post is almost a year old so if you had a 3+ year warranty you'd still be covered. If it was a manufacturer warranty Amana only covers the product for a year. I wish I had seen this sooner, the same applys to any other appliances you had covered under a warranty, they're covered as long as it's still within time and you have the receipt. They'd just ask for the invoice number which would be on the top right corner of the paper.

@robot_spider
@robot_spider 3 жыл бұрын
I'm 8 months late on this, but it's because AC is a sine wave. The two legs have opposite phases, so at peak, they have voltage readings of +120 on one leg, and -120 on the other. Since voltage is a measure of the difference in potential, when you connect +120 and -120, the total difference is 240 volts.

First of all, "current" would not be measured when fixing a dryer. You would be measuring Voltage or Continuity (resistance). Beyond that, it depends on what you are trying to measure as to whether "0" is good or bad. If you are measuring continuity of a fuse, then 0 or close to 0 is EXACTLY what you want. It means the fuse is good. (current has nothing to do with it and continuity should NEVER be measured with power plugged in). If measuring wall voltage, your meter should be set to "V" (volts) and if you see 0 there is no voltage present. If this is the case, the breaker is tripped or the wire came loose in the wall outlet. Unless you have had training to reconnect it, contact an electrician to fix it. When measuring voltage, current has nothing to do with it either.

Air is drawn through the drum over tumbling laundry through the fan and pushed out the exhaust vent. This air picks up heat from the electric element in the air duct leading into the drum. IF the felt seal on the drum is leaky, then air may be drawn straight into the drum. Air from the leak(s) would be much cooler than air drawn over the element. The sensors/ thermostats by the fan and exhaust would continue to signal that more heat is needed and power to the coils is maintained. Meanwhile, due to the leak(s), the insufficient airflow over the heating coils causes them to overheat. Subsequently the thermal fuse between the coils and the drum trips (continuity through the fuse is broken). Power to the coils stops. All heating stops. Is this a realistic scenario? Because at this point I've cleared the lint screen, verified a clear, clean, unimpeded exhaust, replaced the coils, replaced the thermostats, and torn my hair out. But I've still got the same problem with the thermal fuse tripping 5-7 minutes into a cycle.

I just went through this same blown fuse issues ... I discovered that the 2 FOAM seals were near to gone/non-existent ... this foam goes on both sides of this mounting plate...on one side it seals the blower wheel housing and on the other side it seals the duct housing that the lint screen fit into. Because these foam seals were discentergrading, it was not sucking air properly ... This air flow should go/come first through the slots that are on the rear exterior cover panel of the machine, then through/over the heater coil box and up the rear chute and in through the opening of the rear bulkhead and into the drum that is tossing the clothes, then, the air is still being drawn down through the lint screen but it is at this point, that the blower wheel now pushes air out the exhaust tube to (usually) an outside outlet. SO, because the air was not going over the heater coils, it would get to hot and the safety thermal cut off fuse tripped which cuts power to the heater coils, thus no heat but the machine will still run, just with no hot air.

Never knew voltage from the outlet could cause a dryer to not heat. I think that might be my problem. There's no way I could have two different dryers not heat. Right? Can it also cause the dryer knob to not turn as well? That's also happened to both dryers.

Have a dryer that the element won't heat. When you turn it on plugged in 120v reaches the element fine when you turn the dryer on heat and turn it on. The thermal switches have no resistance when turned off as they should. The element tests good as it has 10 ohm resistance and does not short to ground. There's no apparent physical problem with the element. There's a light blue wire running down towards the motor that seems to have a short to ground but I'm not sure if that's normal being it goes to the motor windings. Seems like I remember that motor wires will show a short to ground. The motor works great. Is there some way that the element could actually be bad anyway? What would be your recommendation to do in this situation? How can the element test good, have 120v going to it, but not heat? Anyone have a clue if the element is bad anyway or is there something else that could cause this?

@@repairclinic It's interesting. Hot doesn't heat at all, but warm does. I'll start with the dial, make sure the hot setting is making contact. Pending that, I guess it could be a thermostat/sensor issue from your video above. Perhaps it gets tripped at hot speed, but not warm. Thanks for the info.

@@DrunkinDonuts97 if it works for a short period each time it is used and then stops working, a fuse is definitely NOT the issue. Once a fuse is blown it doesn't work again, even for a few minutes. It is likely a themostat that is tripping at a certain temperature. It is overheating after a few minutes... likely due to your ductwork being plugged or limited air flow. The heat has nowhere to go. So after a few minutes it overheats.

@@bryondahle1273 I've seen people who's fuses were not properly placed in their channel which would create moments of connection. In those moments, the dryer would heat up, but as it continued, the shaking from the drum would knock the fuses a little and it would kill the heat. You very well could be right, and their thermostat that is tripping. I wouldn't know without seeing the unit.
