ansonivan Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I replaced one on my dryer a few years back. Googled the model number, ordered the part from a reputable online parts supplier and replaced it in an afternoon. The drive motor burned out a week later and I tossed the damn thing. This was a ten + year old dryer, your experience should be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinHawk1647545499 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 check the 220 that all leads are connected, i thought mine went out, find out that one of the 220 wires weren't hooked in the outlet when i moved it.

HotCarl Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 damn 100$ for a heater coil?! I think mine was like 24$ but my dryer is a few years old and def not as fancy as a front loader. There are a few parts stores in columbus you could probably buy the part from them and maybe even a manual on how to change it out. I remember when you bought that set last year, sucks it only lasted a year did it have a warranty or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well would this be a case of it never working? It just stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1647545493 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 What is the model number of the dryer and does it tumble the cloths just not heat up or is the whole dryer dead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinHawk1647545499 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Well would this be a case of it never working? It just stopped. if it has supply from one lead, it will still power the unit up, but wont heat, confused my why all the sudden my dryer stopped working, then opened the outlet and saw one was disconnected, when i moved it, reattached and it heated. not sure if you moved it or came undone but worth a shot. check to make sure you are getting 220v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the part you more than likely need. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/part_details.aspx?part_id=3866035 I called Columbus Appliance and Parts on W.

Casper Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Does it get warm at all inside but the clothes don't dry? Or have you actually opened it a few minutes into a cycle and it's not warm at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give everything a good visual inspection. Maybe check the plug for the element with a multimeter and make sure the part is getting power before buying a new heater.

Putty Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 this is what mine did when it didnt have a full 220V Hmmm, someone told me to toggle the breaker just for the hell of it and I have not tried that yet. It would make more sense of this being the issue, since the set is just over a year old, but my luck, it's the costly problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need a hand pulling it apart let me know I can give you a hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
