Cooking that generates flame is not recommended as this
equipped with a thermal overload that will shut down the motor if it
senses excessive heat. frying, oil in the pan can easily overheat and ignite. Heat oil slowly in an appropriately (covering the entire burner) to reduce the risk of boiling over and burning.
Not exactly a fuse for drying heat, the electric motor would have a thermal fuse strapped into the winding. The dryer exhaust hot air chimney, just after the drum, would have both a thermostat and a high heat limit called thermodisk cut off and clixon by trade name. Find the wiring diagram inside the dryer panels to reveal color wires going to what you need finding.
Check your exhaust leading from your dryer because kinks and lint blockage are the leading cause for exhaust high temperature thermal fuse to burn out causing it to run with no heat. The thermal fuse for a front loading 110.88752791 is part number=> 3399849 Thermal Fuse
You may view the location number 15 HERE. The location 5 in that photo is the=> 3398128 Cycling Thermostat How to check these parts can be found on the same above pages, If rhe model I listed is not your model let me know and I will send you links to other models with the same model number as 110.88752791, Thank You Sea Breeze
If the dryer runs there is no problem with power. If the appliance runs but does not heat the problem is one of the thermal devices. The dryer comprises one thermal fuse, several thermostats and the element. Thermal fuse and thermostats must be checked along with the element.
Start from the thermal fuse. The fuse can be tested reading impedance with a multimeter. If the fuse is open it will read Ohms infinity. In that case replace the fuse. Here the part: ASSY-BRACKET (THERMOSTAT) (Thermal Fuse with Bracket).
The fuse is part n.15 in Diagram one below. Click on the picture to enlarge:
If the fuse is OK, or if replacing the fuse did not help test the thermostats. You have the following parts:
If the appliance is running the door switch should not be the problem. If you need test also the DOOR-SWITCH.
The thermostats can be tested reading impedance. If there is no heat, then one of the thermostats is open and will return Ohms infinity. Other way to test a thermostat is by jumping its contacts and running a controlled cycle to prevent overheating.
More often than not a no heat condition is caused by a failure of the heating element in electric dryers. Less frequent but just as likely is a failure of the thermal fuse which is located on a portion of the internal ducting where heated air passes through. The thermal fuse will disable the heating element in the event of uncontrolled overheating, which may have been caused by a malfunction of the temperature control thermostat or a malfunction/failure of a thermal circuit breaker.
Inside the appliance, either in the main cabinet or inside the control enclosure you will find the circuit diagrams and parts listing. If you feel confident in doing the repair yourself, these documents will help you locate the components of the system and give you the part numbers you need to order replacements. Make sure you disconnect from power before opening the cabinet. An inexpensive multi-tester will be all you need to check continuity of the components in the heating circuit.
The Thermal Fuse is located on the air blower housing. Its a small white plastic component with two wire leads.
The Thermal Cut-Out (TCO) is located on the outside of the heater box on the end opposite the heating element terminals.
The reason I mention both these components is because some people confuse the two and use the words interchangeably. There is a difference between the two components and what they do.
DOUBLE CHECK YOUR SYMPTOMS:
If your dryer does not run at all, check your Thermal Fuse.
If your dryer runs, but does not heat you need to check the Thermal Cut-Out.
If you have any questions, please post back and let me know what symptoms you are having. Please include your complete model number (located on a nameplate around the door opening) so that I can determine how your dryer is configured. I hope this is helpful to you.
does the dryer heat initially when you first turn on the dryer Or no heat at all?
the first thing i would check is tthe thermal fuse thats located on the back of the unit. test it with a multimeter and see if it has continuity, if it doesnt then replace that and your operating thermostat. the check to be sure you venting to the outside of your house is not clogged
the thermal is on the heater box on the right side it has two white wires going to it
you need to remove the high limit stat and bracket and the heating element to get to the safety stat
There should be a wiring diagram inside the operating console. Locate the thermal fuse and/or thermal cut-out and ensure they check good. They both should read close to a short if good. They are mounted adjacent to the heating element. If you have trouble locating the diagram and/or need further assistance isolating the problem, please post back with the dryer model number (located on the back of the console) and I will locate some diagrams to see if I can assist you further.
