Asko T701 dryer temp get to hot and trips the Hitemp button, venting is good and cleaned lint trap and machine what else could it be?

Hello,

Welcome to FixYa.

Based on your description I`d direct you to first check the hi-temp cut out at the back...if you haven`t already.

It will look like this on the Asko dryers...



If you push this to reset and the unit works, great. I would keep an eye on it though since the hi-limit typically trips for a reason such as a plugged lint filter, plugged vent ot partially plugged or the heater itself is plugged up with lint.

Take the lint filter and clean it under some warm water and soap as they do become plugged with wax over time due to fabric softener and static sheets...when present/used regularly

If it doesn`t run after-wards or it`s not tripped, you`ll need to investigate for a faulty heater element. This is quite involved, so we`ll cross that bridge when you get there...if necessary.

Keep me posted on your progress or what you find and I'll help in whatever manner I can. Good luck.

Macmarkus :)

Hello, Welcome to FixYa. Based on your description I`d direct you to first check the hi-temp cut out ( safety ) at the back ( black rubber round button )...if you haven`t already. This is quite common on the Asko dryers like yours. If you push this to reset and the unit works, great. I would keep an eye on it though since the hi-limit typically trips for a reason such as a plugged lint filter, plugged vent ot partially plugged or the heater itself is plugged up with lint. Take the lint filter and clean it under some warm water and soap as they do become plugged with wax over time due to fabric softener and static sheets, thus causing the safety to trip. If it doesn`t heat after-wards or it`s not tripped, you`ll need to investigate for a faulty heater element. This is quite involved, so we`ll cross that bridge when you get there...if necessary. Keep me posted on your progress or what you find and then if you require further assistance. Thanks for choosing FixYa. Please take a second to rate the info I provided accordingly.

Hello and welcome to Fixya. To address your question regarding the "reset", the manual reset hi-limit cut-out at the back of the dryer. It`s located on the back panel about 1/2 to 3/4 the way down and will look like a small round black rubber button. Push it to see if it "clicks" and then try your dryer. **What to look for if it`s tripped... 1) Plugged venting - make sure your venting is clean and clear of lint or un-obstructed where it exhaust`s outdoors. ( I realize you mentioned this, but check it thoroughly ). 2) Plugged lint screen - ( part # 8061812 ) This is especially relevant if one uses fabric/static sheets as they contain wax...especially lesser name brand sheets. You can clean the lint screen by removing it from the door and with some mild soap and hot/warm water wash it...an old toothbrush works well for cleaning it. Careful not to rip the fine screen. 3) The blower wheel/fan impeller ( part # 8055200 ) attached to the front of the motor which moves the air through and over the clothes in the drum may be loose, broken or covered in lint, hence causing the hi-limit to trip. 4) A faulty heating element ( part # 8063808 ) can also cause the hi-limit to trip as well. If the element is shorted to the casing it will not cycle "off" via the 115°C (part # 8008807 ) cycling thermostat, thus cycling off via the hi-limit 150°C ( part # 8008487 ). Let me know how that works or if you`ve already tried that. If it is tripped, resetting it may only temporarily resolve your problem since it is usually tripped due to venting or heater issues. If it is not tripped let me know and we can explore other possibilities. good luck. macmarkus :)

usually if you remove the back cover there will be a thermostat with a red button on it. push the red button to reset. hope this helps

yes you can get the inner door piece, check for a faulty hi-limit switch on heating element case or the cycling heat switch

is your lint trap and exhaust hoses clear and unrestricted???open up dryer and clean out lint,then do the same all the way to the outside where it exhausts

YOUR DRYER Has a fuse in it look for it probably somewhere close to where the main power comes in at. if it's good check the heat relay contactor assembly. www.repairclinic.com has the model you have and it may even be as simple as the door switch

thermal cuttouts(thermal fuse or half a dozen other names for the same thing) on the exhaust duct look like this or this , the high temp one is blown.
locate and test with ohmmeter or bulb and battery

replace, not a repairable item, but inexpensive,
there are very few cutouts common to many dryer models
the local parts guy will have one to suit even if marked frigidaire or ge

while the dryer is open is a good time to de-lint the fan and exhaust ducting to the outside wall to prevent recurrence

if i read everything there is another reset button in the center of the back of this model that needs to be reset.There are also 2 areas lint can build up. front lint trap and somewhere else. Good luck
