20 Most Recent Speed Queen AES28AWF Electric Dryer Questions & Answers

Sounds like motor problem

The thermal overload switch should stop the unit from heating although it may continue to tumble.

The duct may be clear but the exhaust on the back of the dryer may be blocked. You have to take the back off the dryer and check where the blower is. Good luck.

The most common cause of the problem you describe is a broken drive belt. This doesn't mean it is the only possibility, nor that it is the issue you are seeing, but based on your short description, this could be the drive belt. If you are mechanically inclined, you can replace it yourself, but if not, then contact your local appliance repair company to diagnose and replace whatever part needs it. If you open the back panel and see that the drive belt is broken, then this could be an easy fix. Here is a link to the drive belt that fits your dryer: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-number/Speed-queen-Parts/Dryer-Parts/511255P/0026/250/Model-AES28AWF/1271/0151200?keySuffixId=&pathTaken=partSearch&pathRender=modelComponent&documentCompId=1101142P&diagramPageId=00009&productTypeId=&searchModelNumber=AES28AWF&subCompDesc=Motor/exhaust%20fan/belt&brandDesc=SPEED%20QUEEN&modelDesc=DRYERS&blt=11&shdMod=&keyId=7

check the blower, something may be stuck in it or it may be broken, also check the 2 tank rotors that hold the tank in place, they may be damage or it may be a little bit of oil.

What is the model number? The one you posted is for a air conditioner.

I would have to agree that the motor is the problem, but before you replace it, check the bearing and blower fan to make sure they are in good shape. If the bearing is bad or the fan is blocked it could give you the same indication.

Yes. Remove old cord and install three prong with outer connectors to outer terminals on terminal block and middle to middle. There should be some kind of wire or strap that connects the middle terminal to the cabinet when you're done. A four wire setup should have removed the strap or wire but sometimes it isn't removed.

Hi,

If your dryer is not drying like it once did or if you just have nottaken the time to give yourself a clean dryer in a long time then youneed to do that. At least once a year the dryer cleaning should takeplace. Lint build up in the dryer duct is one of the main causesfor your dryer to fail.
