Did you get any answer ? I am also looking for a replacement foam pad, because I have the exact same problem, the foam desintegrated !!! And the trouser press is like new otherwise!
You need to buy a new timer and replace it. Be careful when replacing the timer as there are many electrical contacts in the back of the timer so when remove it, please label all the wires. Please follow the instruction from the manufacturer how to replace the timer. Of course, make sure you unplug the dryer because the dryer is powered by 220~240 VAC not 110~120 VAC. As for the heater, there are two possibilities. The first one is, part of the heating element is open circuit and therefore, there is not enough heat to your clothing. The second possibility is, your timer contacts is broken, when the timer asks for high heat, the electricity supposes going to all the heating elements, but since the timer contacts are broken, you have only part of the heating elements working. The heating elements are quite easy to replace but please replace the timer first. You may fix both problems once you replaced the timer. WL
Hi, That could be the defrost timer or the heating elements....force it into defrost again and then check the elements for power...if no power it is the timer...now the coils will have 120 to them but you want 240v across the element...
You are right -almost-. When the heating element is not working properly and dishes doesn't dry, I don't think the heating element went bad. It's more likely that other part is causing the problem. Perhaps the timer went bad.
When the timer is broken, the heating element doesn't get power to dry the dishes. By the way, the timer are also called electronic controls or control panel. I believe it needs to be replaced.
I have a similar situation before in your case if your heating element is working then you are lucky
I had a samsung fridge and the defrost heating element was bad and i was forced to install a different one because i would have to change the hole evaporator in order to replace the heating element so what dit was to use a mechanical
10 hour defrost timer and install a generic heating element and a defrost thermostat on serial so it want work on less the evaporator has froze over i drill a hole to the back of the fridge and i wren the cables to the back of the fridge cover then whit foil tape an take power directly from the power cord
i install the timer next to the control board
so every 10 hours will give power to the heating element but will not come on unless the evaporator has froze up. on my case i had to do it like that because the heating element i use was to strong for the control board and would just burn it up. but will work even better using the original heating element.
NOTE:
find the diagram of a old fridge that will help you to figure out how to install the timer and the defrost thermostat
no need for the timer to cut off the compressor
keep in mind than the defrost thermostat only close the circuit when is chill below freezing
so i recommend to use a new one
I hope this help you
