 Thermal fuse failed then replaced worked 4 days
Thermal fuse failed then replaced worked 4 days and has failed again .
This is my first time ever working on dryer , note , since you have it open vac it everyplace you can including in lint screen area to collect all lint that made it past screen , which will help prevent fire issue and also if you drop a screw ... I did ... make it easier to find .
I'm ordering another thermal fuse , but now wonder if the dryer was really overheating the first time ( outside body of dryer skin was very hot ) or if instead the drum motor was pulling too much current ( 10 years old ) with this thermal fuse in one leg of the drum motor , maybe I really have a failing overheating motor that popped this thermal fuse ...?
I say this because it all started with me being assigned by wife ( boss...;-) to help with the wash and drying ... so I loaded up th edryer fully and after two of those loads it failed .... while she always runs half loads . |
