    The dryer is not putting off any heat.

  • Rosie Jordan Nov 12, 2012

    Should I check the heating element? I've already checked the duct and cleaned it - although there were no obstructions.

    If there is no heat but the drum turns, you will need to check the thermostats for continuity. Do you have a multi-meter?

  • Rosie Jordan Nov 12, 2012

    Yes, My son left his GB model GDT-311 here, I could use it.

    Here is a video to show you how to test the thermostats. The model is different but the process is the same. PLEASE make sure that you have the unit unplugged before you check any of the thermostats! If you should need to contact me immediately, please go tohttp://appliancecafe.com and use the contact form link from the top of the page. This will alert me instantly to your request.

    I was able to disassemble the dryer and tested the thermal fuse. It did not have any continuity. When I ordered it, I noticed that the site said the reason these fail is because there is an issue with the dryer. My dryer is about 12 years old. Could it have just "been time" or could my dryer really have a deeper issue I need to look into?

    Your dryer is OK. Those fuses blow every few years so if this one lasted you 12 years, you are doing good! Keep me posted!

You will need to change the auto dry sensor.

    Thanks! I always worry when I try to play Ms. Fix-it that I may not be covering all my bases! Your expertise and friendly tolerance is greatly appreciated!mm

  • Rosie Jordan Oct 14, 2013

    Richard, I hope all is well on your end. You were so knowledgable the last time, I'm hoping to pick your brain once more about my dryer. I replaced the thermal fuse last November and it's been running trouble free until this weekend. Now the timer doesn't move, I have no heat, and the dryer runs continuously. Any suggestions would be be greatly appreciated.

I have a Amana Dryer NED7200TW. At the end of any drying cycle the dryer shuts off and then turns on again continuously untill i stop it. It also shows a C and a backward C in the display. Any thoughts?
You might need a new display board (electronic timer ). Seems like the timer will not send the message for the dryer to stop when the cloths are dry

Amana ned5100tq0 drys when set to timed dry but will not dry in automatic setting
Mines the exact opposite. Slowly it started stopping while the timer kept going for times dry. Now it won't run at all on times dry but the timer still moves. It also won't run for air dry.

You may need to replace the timer, but watch the video below and it will walk you thru the troubleshooting process. The timer not moving in the "auto sense" mode maybe due to a bad thermostat. Here is a link to the timer in case you need it.

My Amana Model NDG5800AWW dryer has ceased to dry clothes dependably. The Only setting that still sort of works is HIGH timed drying, and this heats up to what used to be the "delicate" setting....
if you are using the auto dry setting and the dryer is still running after 5 hours you either have a timer issue or a thermostat problem.

The timer is driven by a motor, if the timer motor is bad the timer wont time out.

in the auto dry cycle the thermostat has to cycle off and on which then sends power to the timer again advancing the timer.

set the timer in a timed dry cycle for say ten minutes, if the timer advances and turns off then you know the timer works. if it doesnt advance you have a timer motor issue,

if the problem is the auto cycle, you could replace the thermostat, about $20 american. however a clock timer would be cheaper.

Based on how old is your machine and do you want to stick a timer in it after already paying the service man is up to you.

A basic bath towel load should be dry in about 50 minutes, this varies on how good your seals are and how long a vent you are running, if the dryer vent was plugged you already have shortened the life of your heating element.
