WE R GOING FROM A HONEYWELL TAYSTAT500 THERMSTAT (HEAT PUMP) TO A NEW HONEYWELL to (WHOLE NEWHEATING/AIR CONDITIONER) WITH A HONEYWELL RTH8580WF1007 THERMOSTAT? WHERE WOULD THE C WIRE BE. WE DO NOT HAVE A WIRING SCHEMATIC FOR THE OLF THERMOSTAT. IT HAS 7 WIRES. HELP?
Depends. Are the heater hoses getting hot ? Is the engine warming up to normal temp ? If yes, you could have a problem with a blend door under the dash. The blend doors direct air thru the heater core and the vents.
When the dryer just isn't getting your clothes dry anymore, the culprit is usually the heating element. The dryer part may look intimidating, but you can replace the heating element.
Step by step instructions
TOOLS NEEDED New heating element,Screwdriver, Needle-nose pliers.
1 Unplug the dryer from the wall before starting. Find the dryer heating element cabinet. For most dryers this is located in the back, however it can be in the front. Find the compartment on the dryer.
2 Remove the screws or clips to get into the compartment to expose the heating element and wires. Use a needlenose pliers to carefully remove the element wires.
3 Detach the can shaped object that may cover the heating element. Tip the can backward to slip it off the hooks holding it in place. Some models place the heating element with the can, while others provide easier access to it.
4 Unscrew the screws holding the element in place and pull it out.
5 Put the new element in place, and replace the screws to secure it in the dryer. Put the can back in place and connect the element wires before putting on the cabinet cover.
6 Run the dryer on fluff with no heat, and go outside to make sure enough air is getting through the vent system.
7 Break the new heating element in by running your dryer on high heat for 10 minutes without any clothes in the dryer. This cleans oily residue off the element and keep the clothes from getting smoky.
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.
It's not heating up because the heating element is broken and should be replaced. It won't shut down because the thermostat isn't sensing heat and continues to run while expecting heat. So replacing the heating element should get it running properly.
if you put manual detergent that hapend, it could burnd electronis card (or mechanical timer-programer blowup), thermostat or the presostat, the heating element must be OK.
