Re: whirlpool awz 865 dryer not heating up????
Hi Guys, I’m back again after three years. My dryer AWZ 865 is on the Fritz again :(.. This time its not the thermo stats or the element..
I measured 0.7 and 0.9 on the two stats
I measured 24.9 on the element.
So that’s out of the way.. I went exploring a bit up the line from the heater and stats until I reached the control board.. It seems (Also not entirely sure) to be the relay connecting the element and the two thermo’s in the loop. I think its busted as its oxidised and switching part is black looks shorted out..
Any suggestions
Re: whirlpool awz 865 dryer not heating up????
After closer inspection i realizes photos are not going to work. Best information i can pass on about my problem is. There are basically four wires coming down from the control electronic. Two of witch are are single wires witch i pressume goes to one side of each t/stat ithink they had green shields on but i cant say for certain!!. Third wire splits into two parts there is a white connector on the one split so i presume the other split also had a white shield on but again not sure!!. The fourth wire (might add all these wires are brown sigh they dont make it easy) does not come from top but is a little wire with two black shields on like a piece of joining wire. Does this help. ❓
Regards Jacques

Grrr 😕
There might be a problem with that, the previous two stats completely fried my connector shields so its going to be difficult to diffrentiate between the wires. can i post pictures in this forum?? If i can ill take a photo of my situation and post it.
ps
Dont think my stats have spots on them 🙁Re: whirlpool awz 865 dryer not heating up????
Hehe 🙂 Pretty Please. Those 3 wires are bit of an under qoute. Lets start As i have 2 thermostats with two connections on both and the heating element also have two connections. I whould think the connection will go like this.
live………stat………..element……….stat………..gnd/neatral.
Btw its not how its connected atm thank goodnes for trip switches!! Is my guesstamation far off?
Kind Regards Jacques

Re: whirlpool awz 865 dryer not heating up????
So what you are tellin me im going to have to trial and error my connections until it works or worst burn out my machine. So im going to have to take it to a service centre witch is going to rip me off. Its like 3 wires!! 🙁
Re: whirlpool awz 865 dryer not heating up????
ok bought replacement thermostats and element. When i open back wires were indeed fried awell as the stats. I replaced the thermostats and now something is tripping when i remove the stats it works fine just no heating how do i wire the stats up with the element. Think thats the reason for the mains tripping can IT BE??
Help!!

Re: whirlpool awz 865 dryer not heating up????
Sorry if i had offended anyone as i am from south africa the local techs will screw you if you dont watch them or replace your parts with 2nd hand part and qoute you for new replacements!! I am in desperate need of help. Is there there a relay that trips or someting because i have opened the dryers top and when it trips theres a “jerk” in the wires?? Sorry again about my first post 😳
