    Which way should the drum be turning clockwise or counter clockwise and what is the part number of the thermal overload switch.



    Thanks Mike

Yes Mike there is. First check the wiring to the back of the dryer and the terminal block inside the back. The likely problem however, is a thermal overload switch located underneath the top of the dryer at or near the drum. You can bypass it and see if it works. If so, replace it for abotu 20 dollars. If not, your next area would be the element itself. Check it for continuity or take it out of the cage and visually inspect it. I am assuming the drum does work and is turning but like you said, no heat. Let me know about this and we will go further. Hopefully, this will take care of it.

My Bosch Nexxt 500 dryer stopped heating. All other functions work fine except heat. I've checked continuity on heating element & overtemp breaker- both OK. What else could be the problem? Fuse?

CONSIDER THIS
BOTH LEGS OF AC MUST WORK TO GET HEAT FOR DRYER
Maybe you don''t have power to both legs of your receptacle. Both legs of the 220 volt AC have to work go get heat. Only one leg is used to run the motor etc.. Your motor runs so this can fool you into believing that the electrical connection is ok when it really is not. Your dryer is on a double circuit with two breakers. If one fails you lose one 110 volt leg which can be the one giving the full 220 Volt needed for the heater. This happens quite frequently and people mistakenly replace heating coils. You could have a bad breaker, one of the two. You must check this first before assuming anything else. Get help if you are uncomfortable with potentially deadly voltages

Why isn't the dryer heating up? How old is this dryer, and should I call a repair person or buy a new dryer?

I don't go out ant Google peoples machines her. You need to do it, but no heat almost always means a hilimit switch or the element. Both are fairly easy to fix. You need an ohm meter or voltage meter and a battery to check a hi limit switch, bit just your eyes to check an element. Gonna have to pull the back panel off either way. Really not hard. If you see that the element is broken, replace it. If element is not broken, test the limit switches by using an ohm meter, or test it using a battery and low voltage light tester and battery to see if the circuit is open or closed. Closed means the switch is bad and just MAYBE another prob but not likely.

My beko dcrs76w condensing tumble dryer was blowing out cold air so we repaced element & thermostat buts still not fixed. We have cleaned out filters aswell. Any clues as to what the problem could be?

In most dryer, there is a thermal fuse and open from overheating. Generally, it installed on the dryer's exhaust duct. Typically, you must remove the back panel of a dryer to access the fuse.

Why wont dryer heat up after changing out coil ?

most dryers are 220. its possible your breaker is half tripped. try cycling the breaker.. you should get 220 across it while its running. (Be careful).

Oven is slow to heat up and will not heat above 250

You may have a bad heater coil in the oven or have lost a leg in the 220 line. Check and reset the breaker 1st then check the voltage in the receptacle. It should be 110 from each leg to ground and 220 across the hot legs.

Why would the Dryer not heat after an international move from Austrailia 230V 50 hz to Thailand 220V 50 Hz, when programs, air movement, evrything else functions properly?

Your problem is one electric leg has no power. You are getting power for a single need. But you need double that power for the heating need.
like 110. And. 110. Equals 220 Soo 110 is supplying one need ,that needs only 110 But the heating coils need 220 that is where the second leg comes in... Be sure bothe breakers have powers going out. Into dryer

I have a electric dryer Model WED5810SW0 THAT I WAS TOLD I COULD CONVERT TO 120V from 240v is this true and if so how do i do this?

If you consider doing this the first thing is SHUT THE MAIN BREAKER OFF. Use an auxiliary light source to see when working in a dead panel. Always keep in mind an ARC FLASH ACROSS HOT MAINS HAS ENOUGH HEAT TO PEAL THE SKIN OFF OF YOU. Before an explanation of how to do it you should keep in mind that this is for a single receptacle only. If any other receptacles are on the same circuit they will also be changed to 240 volt receptacles and if you plug any 120 volt device into them, the 120 volt device will be destroyed. That said OK, any 120 volt outlet can be changed to 240 volt by removing the 120 volt circuits neutral, re identifying the white wire with red or black phase tape and connecting it to a new 2 pole 15 amp breaker. The maximum that this circuit will now load up to is, on #14 wire at 80% = 12 amps at 240 volts. The 120V receptacle must be changed to a 15A - 240V receptacle so that 120 volt devices can not be plugged into it. Never use 2 single pole breakers together because code requires that on a fault trip both legs of the 240V circuit must be disconnected simultaneously. OR USED A Quick 220 Voltage Converting Power Supply
Voltage converter buying guide. Voltage Transformer Buying guide.Voltage converters also known as voltage transformers are devices that convert foreign electricity to power devices from different parts of the world. A step down voltage converter is a 220 to 110 volts converter. A step up converter is a 110 volts to 220 volts converter. Our 2-way converters are voltage transformers that convert power from both 220 to 110 volts and 110 to 220 volts. They also work with 100 volts, 110 volts, 120 volts, 220 volts and 240 volts. This model is a 2 way voltage converter / voltage transformer available in many different sizes including 100 watts, 200 watts, 300 watts, 500 watts, 750 watts, 1000 watts, 1500 watts, 2000 watts, 3000 watts and 5000 watts.

The indicator lights and clock on our glass top slide in stove work, but the burners and oven do not heat

From what you are describing, the power to your stove is incorrect. The diagram indicates the voltages that should be present at the receptacle, I suspect one of the 110 volt legs is bad at the receptacle or circuit breaker. The clock operates on the good 110 volt leg. The burners need both 120 volt legs to be good because the burners and oven need 220 volts to work.
