my dryer over heated because of the outlet was plugged with lint , so i cleaned and replace the whole hose and outlet , also replaced the thermal cutoff and the everything else but the heat element … tested it with a load of laundry seem to work fine ,,,but once again the dryer over heated and shut off ….like i said i have replaced all the electric components but the heating element , it looks fine no breaks in the wire …im at my whits end with it …it makes a click sound when the start button is pressed but wont start now i figure it has blown another thermal fuse which i will check ….any ideas ? anyone why it still continues to overheat ? UPDATE..i check the thermal fuses and they are once again no good but the dryer element continues to overheat i put temp buypass wires to the thermal fuse ends to test if the dryer will start ,the dryer starts but still over heats
it was the mother board that has gone bad
@jeepster sounds to me like your high limit thermostat has failed. Replace that and reevalaute. If you can give us your complete model number we can probably get you more information on that repair.
