Where is the thermal fuse on a Kenmore Elite he4 dryer?
Pull the front bottom panel off and look for this thermal fuse. its located on the blower housing, pull the plug and join the two wires, plug it back in and try the dryer if it starts up replace the thermal fuse.
Why is my Kenmore Elite dryer not getting hot?
The thermal fuse is a safety device designed to protect the dryer from overheating. Be aware that a blown thermal fuse is an indication of a restricted exhaust vent from the dryer to the outside. Always check the dryer venting when replacing a blown thermal fuse.
Is it worth replacing a heating element in a dryer?
If your dryer’s heating element burns out more than once within a year or two, the thermal fuse, which is supposed to protect it, is probably defective, so it’s a good idea to replace it. The temperature in the heating chamber may also be too high, and that may be caused by poor venting.
How dO I know if my thermal fuse is blown?
Touch the left multimeter lead to the left side of the thermal fuse; touch the right multimeter lead to the right side of the fuse. Keep an eye on the multimeter needle; a needle that fails to move indicates a blown thermal fuse.
How can you tell if a thermal fuse is bad?
How to tell if a thermal fuse has blown? To test if your thermal fuse has blown, touch the right side of your multimeter lead to the right side of the fuse, and repeat with the left multimeter lead. If the multimeter needle fails to move, this indicates the thermal fuse has blown.
Is there a reset button on the machine? There is no reset button on your dryer. I recommend locating the two (2) house circuit breakers dedicated for the dryer and reset both circuit breakers by flipping them both OFF and ON 2-3 times and then check to see if the dryer will start.
Where is the heating element in a Kenmore Elite dryer?
The heating element is located in the front section of the dryer on the bottom right. When you remove the lower front inspection panel you will see the heating element on the right hand side on the base of the dryer.
Many dryers are equipped with a reset button on the control panel. If the motor won’t run, let the dryer cool for about ten minutes.
Does a Roper dryer have a reset button? Firmly push the switch all the way to the “Off” setting and then firmly push it back to the “On” setting. A correctly reset breaker emits a snapping sound when turned back on. If there are two circuit breakers, check both switches.
Why does my Kenmore Elite dryer keep shutting off?
If an electric dryer starts but then stops before the load is dry, a clogged exhaust vent may have caused the dryer to overheat and trip the thermal fuse. A bad drive motor, failed timer or faulty electronic control board can also stop the dryer before the cycle ends.
