Maytag Drier cycling th-stat with ceramic heat changed to whir.

The new part (thermostat) has a heater built into the backof the stat.
Do I plug the old heater wires onto the new thermostat? The new part # is 37001136 as labled on the package but the part itself has the
# 2201115. The temp. rating on the old thermostat (#503979) has a limit of 153-15 compared to the new stat which is L146-15. There were no instructions with the new stat. should I use the new stat?
Also should I remove the old ceramic heater?

Hello Friend, Your solution is simple. It sounds like your dryer is working properly, and your actual problem is a blockage somewhere in your 4 inch exhaust tubing. Check it and make sure it is not clogged up with excessive lint. Also if your tubing is clear you need to check your connection where it travels thru the wall etc. It would be a good idea to find the actual location where it exits to the ouside and check for good airflow. If you have poor or no airflow this is why your thermal fuse has blown out. Poor venting of dryer causes overheating and therefore blowes the thermal fuse. I Hope I have helped you, Tim.

My old thermostat has 8 wires and I'm trying to figure out how to install a Honeywell Rth2310b thermostat.

The terminals on the old stat should be basically the same as on the new stat...with a couple exceptions anyway. Note the color of wire on each terminal before removing them and reconnect to the new stat on the same terminals. 8 wires typically indicate a heat pump, so in the configuration menu you'll have to tell it whether to energize the O terminal in cool or not. If you have individual wires on Rc and Rh terminals, you must remove the factory jumper between those two terminals on the new stat. If not, you'll burn out one of the two control transformers or possibly damage your new stat.

In the configuration menu, you'll have to tell it whether its a gas furnace or electric furnace, select the way the fan operates and possibly limit the cycles per hour on both heat and cool modes. There's a lot of subtle entries that need to be done to 'tailor' the new stat to your likings also.

I think it would be best to rely on someone thats a bit familiar with HVAC to change out your stat for you..... as once it is changed, all possible functions of the stat need to be verified as correct in operation.

Why is my honeywell 8320r1003 short cycling for hot water heat.I have heat set at 65 degress.cycling 2min,3min,the most is 8min.

Hi Bill, after closing your thermostat, is this correct the situation?
And how far is your thermostat from your baseboard heater, if the baseboard is underneath the stat, you should move the stat elsewhere. Hope this help you find the problem.

How to test maytag refrigerator defrost thermostat

on your model the thermostat comes with a new heater
http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Defrost-Heater-Assembly/61006116/1021756
you have to read the t-stat when it's cold,unplug the harness,stick one end into the harness and stick the tip of the other probe into the other wire of the t-stat,or seeing that you have to replace the heater and t-stat anyway cut the two wires going to the t-stat,wire nut them together,manually turn the timer knob to put it into defrost and if the heater comes on you know the t-stat is bad.you can leave the heater on and get a hair dryer,melt out all the ice and then disconnect the t-stat wires and tape them or wirenut them,this way your machine will run for 10 to 12 days before it freezes up again giving you time to order your parts and you won't loose any food.when you get new parts melt out any ice again and change heater and t-stat.most likely the t-stat is bad,common problem.

Amana ARB9058CSO defrost system isn't working. I tested the timer and it seems fine. When in defrost mode there is 120V at the heater but no heat is generated, so i assume the heater is dead but can...

that's a calrod heater,they hardly ever go bad but it could be bad,try this,it's a good idea to change out the thermostat to while you're in there so do this,shut down the freezer control or unplug the machine,cut the two wires going to the thermostat located on top of the evap coil,wire the two wires together bypassing the thermostat,plug it in and put it in defrost,if the heater gets hot then you know the t-stat was bad and the heater is good,if it's in defrost and the heater doesn't get hot change out the heater and the t-stat and you shouldn't have to worry about either one of them going bad a gain.,also you can look at the t-stat,if it has clear plastic cap on top and it looks popped up on one side,it's bad,you can tell just by looking at the t-stat.hope this helps,when you cut the wires off of the t-stat cut them as close as you can to it so you can connect the new t-stat to the wires,when you get the new one the wire connectors come with the thermostat

NO HEAT

You will find either the drier has been to close to the wall thus blocking the ventilation inlet. this in turn allows the elements to heat up excessively and blow the safety th/stat, Suggest you replace it and also check if air inlet vent is not blocked with lint. So use a testing device to see which th/stat is open circuit.(Ps. pull plug out of wall first}.

CYCLING TO OFTEN

You need to adjust the heat anticiptor on the thermostat. Not knowing your furnace control amp draw ..... I would set the anticiptor somewhere between .3 & .7. The slight adjustment should make the cycling run better. If not adjust it the other way. If this does not solve the problem the heat anticipator might be bad (change the thermostat). If you have a digital stat read the manual most are preset at the factory. Sometimes you can reset it by following the directions.
