GOOD EVENING. THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT WAS THAT THE CLOTHING WAS NOT DRYING. THREE WEEKS AGO I TOOK APART THE DRYER AND FOUND THE BELT AND PULLEY OFF OF THE BLOWER. I PUT IT BACK TOGETHER AND SHE WORKED FINE FOR THREE WEEKS. I THEN GET A CALL SAYING THE BLOWER IS WORKING BUT UNIT IS NOT HEATING. I TOOK IT APART AGAIN AND FOUND THAT FIRST THE DRYER THERMAL CUT OFF DID NOT HAVE CONTINUITY. I HAPPENED TO HAVE A USED THERMAL CUT OFF THAT SEEMED TO MATCH. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE I FOUND WAS THE ORIGINAL HAD AN 352F ON IT AND THE NEW USED HAD A 309F. I PUT IT IN AND SHE LIT UP, BUT ONLY STAYED ON FOR ABOUT 6 SECONDS, NEVER IGNITING AFTER THAT NO MATTER HOW LONG IT RAN. AT THIS POINT I TESTED THE DRYER THERMOSTAT AND IT DID NOT HAVE CONTINUITY. I HAPPENED TO HAVE A NEW USED ONE THAT WAS ONLY 5 DEGREES HIGHER (265 – 270). PUT IT IN AND EVERYTHING WORKED WELL. TWO LOADS WHERE DRIED THAT NIGHT, BUT THE NEXT MORNING SHE WILL NOT HEAT AGAIN. THE ONLY OTHER POINT WOULD BE THE DRYER WAS RUN A LOT WHEN THE BLOWER WAS NOT WORKING. I NEVER WORKED ON A DRYER WITH THE STEAM ASSISTANT. AM I MISSING SOMETHING THERE, OR SOMETHING ELSE? HELP!!!!!!!!!!! TODD FROM NY

My dryer runs and heats up as expected in timed modes. However, in REGULAR mode (or automatic mode), it runs normal too, but the heat stops “heating” after about 5 minutes of being turned on. The Dryer LED indicator still shows it is drying with heat. It hasn’t even entered the cool mode yet. The clothes do not dry completely.

I have replaced the 4″ vent duct with a new clean duct. I cleaned and vacuumed the inside of the dryer too, including internal duct parts. Air blasted the blower blades. I removed the plastic filter housing and pressure washed the insides perfectly clean. Air flow is very plentiful. Looks brand new. Since I do HVAC as a living, I checked the following components: Radiant sensor, Thermostat (gas flame), Thermal fuse, Thermistor and Thermostat (dryer side). I cleaned all of them properly.

My conclusion is, that the thermistor (reading 10K ohms at room temperature) could be bad since I do not know for sure what it is supposed to read at different temperatures and it is a sensor that is directly exposed to the elements inside the dryer. I paid special attention on cleaning it, suspecting that it may have a bi-metal surface in contact with lint and moisture.

My other concern is the two “moisture sensors” (cathodes?). They look clean (and I wiped them down with water and a clean cloth) and I made sure that the blue wires are not loose when re-attaching them. How can two pieces of clean metal go bad? They look like stainless steel. To narrow the problem down, I thought about jumping the two blue wires, by-passing the moisture sensor plates to simulate a constant presence of moisture, but didn’t want to do any possible damage. My second thought was to place a wet sponge securely across the two plates to see if any improvement is noticed during a test run.

Lastly, the unlikely problem could be the electronics within the circuit board.

What do I need to do to positively find out what the problem is so I can fix the dryer?
Your reply is deeply appreciated.
Regards, Patrick Kieran.

I replaced the main control board on this Kenmore dryer have 120 Going to the main control board no lights will not respond. I am considering that I might have a bad replacement main control board. do you have a schematic of a Kenmore or a whirlpool that you could tell me what voltages I should have going to the touch control display board. I have considered ordering the display touch pad board but would like to be sure before I order another board. Thank you for your help.

Hello my question today is with the Samsung dryer looks like it’s the dual element style will run for 3-5 seconds and then shut off. If the power is turned off and restarted on the unit it would start again for another 3-5 seconds and then shut off but if it’s press to start without powering off the unit it will not start again unless it’s powered off. This seems to happen in any mode whether it’s timed or auto. The unit is only about two years old I don’t think it’s running long enough for that motor to even overheat within 3-5 seconds also the unit is that even running long enough to even start to warm up in the 3 to 5 second window.

I would just like to know what to suspect at this point? To check the relay on the board to see if it’s open or is this a known issue ? I have not seen the Samsung dryer do this before

On this dryer the thermal fuse keeps going out, after it runs for awhile? What causes this problem? The vent is clear and is a short vent run.
If this keeps going out should you also replace the thermostats where is down by the heater, or should I look at the thermistor might be bad?

Replaced belt, idler, and squeaky rear bearings first time.. Costumer called me back out two days after initial repair with same complaint.. I greased the stubs for front bearings, replaced front bearings, and replaced rear stubs. Is the costumer overloading? Is the motor possibly spinning too fast? What could be causing the issue to come back? Could it possibly be the motor?
(Lost actual model number the one I entered is same dryer design)

I AM TH NKING THIS MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY CLOGGED UP VENT… OR POSSIBLY THE VENTED HOLES MAY ALSO BE CLOGGED OUTSIDE. NEED SOME IDEAS, BEFORE DIAGNOSING THIS MACHINE….

Hi,
I am trying to determine what part I need to fix my dryer EFME627UTT1. Essentially, the dryer won’t start. However, it is exhibiting other strange behavior. The dryer has been in service for about two years since, 9/2019.

When I try to start the dryer, it makes three beeping noises, as it would if the door was open. The door is of course closed however. I put the dryer in diagnostic mode and it displayed an error code of ‘EHd’, flashing as ‘E’ then ‘Hd’. I do not see that code listed in the Dryer Tech Data Sheet. The dryer has a wheel to rotate through the different dry cycles. The center of a wheel has LED lights on it, indicating the time left to complete the dry cycle in minutes. When I rotate through the different dry cycles, the timer doesn’t change as it normally would. It gets stuck on particular value, once at 45 minutes, once at 55, etc. Additionally, sometimes the previous mentioned LED light doesn’t come at all when I start the dryer. However, if I put the dryer in diagnostic mode, the light will then come on and display the error code ‘EHd’ as mentioned previously.

I have taken the dryer apart to check for lint buildup, I found some, but nothing extraordinary. I am assuming its some sort of electronic problem. From some googling it seems it might be the control board, but at around $150 I’d prefer not to miss the call on the diagnoses. Thanks for the help.
