Default Too hot-keeps burning fuses
Brand: Whirlpool
Model Number: Estate-TEDX640JQ1
Age: 1 - 4 years



We ordered and replaced the motor and the belts only to find out iot was the inside fuse. It ran for about 4 days and then got really hot and apparently burned out the fuse again. Am I loading it to full? We checked all the other parts--the thermostat and the timer and the start button. Got any ideas? I'm afraid to just replace the fuse without knowing why it keeps burning up.

Just make a general checkout of the following:

a. Is there ANY lint in the vent hose or the wall exhaust outlet? A restricted vent will surely result in overheat.

b. Are there kinks in the vent hose or obstructions in the outer damper? check it out for every couple of months.

c. Is the blower is in a good condition and gives good air discharge?
