Some common trouble makers....s copy:
Q - My dryer is dead, what could do that ?
A - Common problems...blown house fuse/tripped breaker ( electric
dryers need 2 )...loose white/neutral wire...broken belt ( on some
models only )...door switch/door switch bracket...*thermal fuse open (
venting needs attention )...broken or burnt
wire...timer...motor...burnt power cord/plug...start switch (
especially the ones with a built in relay switch )
* If you find a blown thermal fuse, always clean, change, adjust the
venting system and vent hood first
