Whirlpool 3RLEQ8033sw1

Hi

❓ Can anyone advise why the duct stat with red dot does not even last a load before it goes o/c? (480112100395)
I have cleaned all the pipes to ensure that they are not blocked or resticted.
Just in case I have missed something

many thanks

Re: Whirlpool 3RLEQ8033sw1

this dryer works on vacuum

the motor causes a vacuum in the drum which pulls the air in over the element

so you are lookin for

1 air flow problems which includes recirculation of the hot air

2 leaks in the drum seals if these seals leak cold air gets in but more important the air is bypassing the element causing it to overheat

hope this helps

ps you can reset stats by tapping them on the floor firmly

Works even better if you put it in a freezer first

Thank you very much for replies.

Will go over the seals etc to see what is happening.

Thank you for your tips on resetting these stats 😀
