My dryer keep shutting off during drying even if i have cleaned all the filter.i have to unplug it for 30sec and then replug it for it to continue.
SOURCE: I have a ventless stackable
The circuit breaker tripped off because there's a high current draw or short circuit. The drive motor is sounds like overheating. This results in the high draw of current causing the breaker to trip. Unplugging the dryer allows the motor to cool off and work again utmost for one cycle.
The motor is now totally out causing the dryer not to run. No dryer function works then when the motor cannot run. The heating circuit is activated by the motor through the motor centrifugal switch. Check to make sure that every thermostat has continuity. Bypass the thermostats and isolate them for troubleshooting. Bypassing means taping together the wires and insulating it properly. Start the dryer upon reconnecting power and if the dryer starts, replace the thermostats.
Check the motor windings for continuity if the dryer still doesn't start after bypassing the thermostats. Replace the motor if a no continuity condition is found. Check power right at the motor terminals if there's no issue found with the motor windings. Measure the voltage right at the motor terminals while starting the dryer, but this is a risky troubleshooting. Do not attempt doing it yourself if are you not technically inclined in this field to avoid the risk of electric shock that may result in serious physical injury or even DEATH.
