My dryer won't power on, I check on your site and I guess this could be due to the thermistate fuse link (it's been running on for six hours non stop and stopped on its own). Where is this fuse located ? I could not find this information in the user manuaL ? Thank U

    Sorry I forgot what should have been obvious

    BOSCH WTA 4400FF 01

    The dryer did function nearly all the afternoon.

    At one point the mains disrupt. I plug the dryer in another wall plug. The dryer power on (power light on and internal light on) when I tried to start it up (empty) it powered off.

    Now it doesn't power on at all.

    Thank U

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. Yes you are absolutely right the issue is with the Thermal Fuse going bad and needs to be replaced. It is mounted to the exhaust duct inside the back cover panel. Also, often a dryer heating element burns out, but doesn't trip the circuit breaker or blow a fuse. The heating element is simply a long coil of special wire. You can check it for continuity with an ohm meter. No continuity means the element is bad and you need to replace it. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks

I have an Amana NED7200TW suddenly stopped working. Power is on, panel lights up. replaced the thermistor still will not start. no error codes come up. What else should I look at?

How about the fuse right beside the thermister? Did you maybe remove a wire from it by accident while replacing thermister?

Dryer won't start

Either one or 2 things happened. The move cause the lint to shift around inside the dryer and it overheated blowing the fuse. OR the new apartment's vent is blocked and caused the dryer to overheat. All maytag dryers are not the same but they all have a non resetable fuse mounted on the blower housing. When the temp exceeds 350f it melts and kills power to the motor. If the motor is not running the heat does not get power. The motor must be turning to make the cent switch power up the heater. Dryer manuals

Where is the fuse located ?

The fuse is located on the blower housing next to the thermister (heat control). You won't see it till you get filter housing off there:

I have a Kenmore Elite HE3 gas dryer that is not heating. When starting a cycle, it will run for a couple of minutes, then stop with "E2" on the display. Lint has been cleaned out from entire...

Ok
E2 means the control board has sensed problem or shorted thermister. Located on blower housing.
Replacing thermister should solve the problem. This picture should help.DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE ATTEMPTING

I've located the thermal fuse on the blower housing and there is no continuity. Next to it is the drier thermister and I have no continuity there either. If I replace the fuse where do I go from there?...

The thermal fuse is blown open due to the thermistor being open (no continuity). The thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient resistor in which the resistance varies inversely with the temperature. Since the thermistor is open (infinite resistance), the electronic control board "thinks" the dryer temperature is too low. It then activates the heater relay continuously which makes the dryer overheat and blow the thermal fuse open to stop the motor which eventually turns off the heating element. Replace both the thermal fuse and the thermistor and it should your problem. They are manufacturer part numbers 3392519 and 8577274, respectively. The part numbers AP3132867 and AP3919451 are used only by www.partselect.com.

KENMORE, Model # 11082834100 stops while drying and gives us an erorr code E1

E1 can indicate a problem in the dryer's thermistor or its wiring circuit. You can see what a popular thermister looks like at this link:

LINK > Whirlpool/Kenmore Dryer Thermister

It should usually measure in the area of 1.5K - 10K ohms but they can be intermittent and test Ok when out of the circuit and only fail during operation making them difficult to pinpoint as the cause of problems. If all the rest checks out, sometimes the thermister just has to be replaced to see if it solves the problem or not if you have any questions message me back Thanks again Rick

On my kenmore elite dryer, E2 shows up on the display and just stops.

Sounds like the Thermister is shorted. The instructions for repair detailed are below. -- SWT

SAFETY NOTICE: Be sure to disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repairs. If you are not comfortable with doing any voltage checks that might be recommended, please contact your local service provider for repairs. Be aware that there could be sharp edges inside the appliance that could cause injuries to yourself.

The E2 error code indicates an defective thermister circuit. This type of testing will require using a multimeter to check the resistance of the thermister. I have provided you with instructions from the service manual in the image attached below. Be sure to disconnect power to the dryer before attempting repairs.

Dryer does'nt run. checked breaker, thermal fuse, starter relay, timer stops when door is opened, starts when closed?

2 more things could be wrong,check the blower box to see if you have a thermister thermostat on it,check that with your omns meter,the other thing is the motor is no longer strong enough to turn the drum and it heat up and tips off,let me know what you find-mike
