Smile Dryer overheating
Brand: Crosley
Model Number: cde6500w
Age: 1 - 4 years

I have replaced the high-limit thermostat kit which consisted of two thermal fuses. (One had a red dot the other fuse had a yellow dot.) The dryer wouldn't start.
I replaced the red dot thermal fuse. It ran for three loads. It stopped and would not start. I then replaced the thermal fuse with the one with the yellow dot and the high limit thermostat. I runs for about 10-15 minutes and shuts off on low. When it cools down it will restart and do the same thing all over. If i run it on regular heat it gets hot faster and shuts down. Again once it cools down it will start.

You need to replace the motor. If you are going to replace the motor, you need to get the high limit kit again. Because one of those thermal fuses is for gas, and the other is for electric. If they are fine, then put the one in that coresponds to the type of dryer you have. Also once it is repaired, or if you replace it. Make sure the vent is clear out side. So when you turn the dryer on, you should get a good amount of air flow outside. If you decide you want to replace the product or need more help, visit my web site, and I will help you out.
