sassnetguy50 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 You might try searching online for parts stores. They've helped me diagnose problems so they could sell me the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Absolutely. I use my package truck to load the recalcitrant dryer to the Tree Lawn day before trash day. Someone always drives by and hauls it away and I go get a really nice NEW DRYER!! Which, incidentally, Lowes DELIVERS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 Figured it out with some thanks owed to Assassin. Bad exhaust thermistor. $8 part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. James H. Callahan Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Glad it worked out for you. Some years ago I replaced the element in ours. Took me two days to get the old element out. Didn't see anyway in H*lll I could get the new one in without destroying it. Then I figured out how to pop the top off it and found the one little sheet metal screw that held all that crap inside. Spent 2-3 days on a job that would have taken about 30 min. for someone that knew how to do it. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Joker Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 The last time our dryer stopped heating my wife pointed I had had it apart 4 times since we bought it to replace various parts. She said 'it's time..' And now Lowes gets a monthly for a few at 0% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Gateway Kid I always have leftover screws no matter what I work on. So long as a screw is less than 1/4”, I figure it’s not holding much. If it’s a # 10 or less sheet metal screw or self-tapping screw, it’s pretty much inconsequential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They call that "new and improved" being eco friendly and lighter weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably have to remove that AND the motor to get to the thermistor. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Law Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Go on you tube and do a search on your model. You'll get something close as they're all the same inside. Very simple to work on and you can get most parts on Amazon. That's goes for most appliances except refrigerators as they have refrigerant. *Also in 99% of appliances there are the schematics and a troubleshooting manual stuffed in the back inside the unit.
