It tripped my breaker on startup. Now it has no heat?
For model number MED5630HC1
Hi Jon, thank you for contacting us. If your dryer trips off your breaker, we recommend checking your Circuit Breaker first. A weak circuit breaker may trip too often, even if the amperage draw is below the limit. Sometimes, a faulty heating element shorts out the heater housing, causing the dryer to trip the circuit breaker. To determine if the heating element is at fault, use a multimeter to test each terminal for continuity to the case. A shorted heating element will have continuity to the case. If the heating element is shorted out, replace it. You will also need to check the drive motor. If the drive motor fails, it shorts out internally, causing the dryer to trip the circuit breaker. To determine if the drive motor is at fault, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the motor windings are shorted out, replace the drive motor. Check the dryer's terminal block. Electric dryer power cords attach to the dryer at a terminal block. Ensure there are no loose wires. Loose wires can short out against the body of the dryer, causing the dryer to trip the circuit breaker. Let us know if you have further questions!
vents are clogged. Remove vent from your dryer and vacuum the lint and debris inside it. Or, it may be a Blown Thermal Cut-Off with High Limit Thermostat FIX991443. Once the dryer temperature reaches a certain point, this piece will shut down power to the heating element. We are pleased to have been able to help.
I have replaced heating element and thermal and high heat cutoff and it is still not heating
For model number MED5630HC1
Hello Jay, thank you for contacting us. We have researched the model and would suggest checking the thermistor, part number FIX11746740, for continuity using a multimeter. This thermistor should read approximately 11.9K Ohms of resistance at 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21’ Celsius). The thermistor monitor and controls the temperature inside the dryer drum. A faulty thermistor may cause the dryer to not heat. We hope this information helps!
Remove the kick plate from the bottom of the dryer by sliding a putty knife along the top edge to release the plastic clamps, one on each side about 4" in from the edges. The kick plate folds out and down. You will see the heat shield on the right, held in by one hex head screw. Remove screw and heat shield. The element is positioned in a
... Read moren open-front housing and is fastened to the left side of the housing by two hex head screws, located on the "rail" of the element and right near the two wires. Remove the hex-head screws that hold the element in place and disconnected the two wires by pulling them out by hand or with needle nose pliers. The only difficulty here is the cramped working area...I recommend a stubby socket driver for these two screws. Most of this I had to do by feel because I could not see the screw heads. Once the screws are out and the wires have been disconnected, slide the old element straight out toward you. You may need to disconnect a small plastic hose located to the left front of the element, but this hose just pulls right off. Vacume the dust & lint build-up out of the whole area, wipe out the element housing and clean up the whole underside of the dryer prior to installing the new element. Installation is reverse of removal. It also might be a good opportunity to clean out your exhaust duct and the vent to the outside. (Never use the aluminum foil-accordian-type duct.) If the exterior dryer vent has any kind of screen over it, remove it and get rid of it. Screens collect lint, lint builds up and burns out elements.
The issue was the idler pulley. First I began opening up the front panel based on a youtube video but soon realized the model was slightly different and required a lot more items to remove. I saw the pulley in the back with nothing in the way so I put the front panel crap back on and removed the rear panel. There it was, very simple to re
