Diagram for kitchen aid superba gas dryer -- Don't know what the thermal fuse looks like or where it is

have looked at the schematics can't find a fuse anywhere
see all parts here...
Kitchen aid made by whirlpool.. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/parts-for-whirlpool-kgst307hbs6.html
bad temp sensor maybe?

Disconnect electric.Remove screws in back panel, after you have removed this you will see the fuse located in the blower housing. good luck

Look at the parts diagram on this page. The igniter is number 4 on the diagram.

Make sure nothing is stuck in the blower wheel or the motor. Vacuum out all the lint, etc. If that doesn't work, time for a new motor.

Hi,

If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working properly.

if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip....

If you have an electric dryer, you can have many different things that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat.

check out this electric no heat tip...

It could be several other things thermal fuse, thermal cut out, hi limit thermostat, dryer coils, heat sensor,or igniter. All of these parts are inexpensive and easy to test and replace.There is a video at http://appliancehelponline.com/gdryertroublevideo.html this will walk you thru the troubleshooting of these components. It may be a different model but the troubleshooting will be the same.You can also enter your model # for diagrams and illustrations. All parts come with installation instructions. Not all models are available. If you need help disassembling your machine there are videos of this also for most styles.

If it is tumbling. This troubleshooting video will help. Could be the thermal fuse,ignitor,or gas coils. The free video will walk you thru testing.

This is most often caused by a bad thermal fuse or thermostat high limit cutout. Check them for continuity (with the machine unplugged, of course) They should have continuity -- replace them if open. They should be available at www.appliancepartspros.com Also, if one or both are bad, check the dryer vent as they often are damaged by high heat due to a restricted vent pipe. The website above also has diagrams to help find the parts on the machine.

this is probably the thermal fuse replacement fix (see my other posts for easy replacement directions)..

i'm sure kitchen aid wont recommend this but if you slip a thin piece of cardboard or non combustable insulation material between your replacement thermal fuse and the oven wall, you may not have the problem again..

good luck

p.s. i'm trying to source an auto-resetting thermal fuse for this application... if i find one, i'll post knowledge for everyone..

WELL ITS 1 OF A COUPLE OF THINGS NO HEAT KITCHEN AID USES A THERMAL FUSE IN THE BACK OF THE DRYER CHECK THAT FIRST USE A MULTI METER FOR THAT ALWAYS UNPLUG ANY APPLIANCE WHEN DOING ANY WORK ON THEM IF YOU HAVE A GLOW DOWN ON BOTTOM IT COULD BE THE FLAME SENSOR IS BAD OR GAS VALVE COILS ARE NOT LETTING THE GAS OUT OR YOUR GAS IS OFF AT MAIN FROM HOUSE GOOD LUCK GEORGE
