Dryer has a burning smell, so we stopped using it. What part do you think may need replace?
For model number DLEX7177WM
Hello Kimberly, Thank you for the question. We suggest removing the front panel to the appliance and cleaning out any lint build up inside the cabinet. Over time lint can make it past the Lint Filter and builds up inside. Also make sure the Duct where the filters fits into is clear of any build up. At the back of the drum there is also a screen that can get a build up over time as well. This can block air flow and cause the burning smell. If everything is clean and the smell is still present, it could be a worn and rubbing Belt. We hope this helps!
Dryer runs but is not heating. What could be the problem?
For model number DLEX7177WM
Hello Robert, thank you for contacting us. We would recommend checking the dryer thermistor, part number PS3529026, the thermostat assembly, part number PS3530481, and the heater assembly, part number PS3527790. You can test these parts with a multimeter to find the faulty one. Customer service is available 7 days a week if you require assistance placing an order. Thanks again for reaching out!
Hello Frank, thank you for your inquiry. Based on our research, if your dryer is not drying clothes, then the vent may be clogged. A clogged vent traps the excess hot air inside the dryer's drum, but the low circulation of air keeps clothes from getting dry. Make sure you are always cleaning off the lint screen before you run the dryer. If this does not solve the issue, then we would recommend checking the following parts: lint filter, part number PS3527578, moisture sensor, part number PS3529161, thermistor, part number PS3529026, blower thermostat, part number PS8747887, and thermostat assembly, part number PS3530481. We hope this sorts out your problem!
I actually went to mr fix it on u tube. Great instruction on how to take dryer apart. First I unplugged the dryer. I found I could reach the heating system by removing the lint tube in the back of the dryer. I put my I phone with the light on inside the back of the dryer and tested the connections to see if all were working. The thermal fuse was not working. I removed the two wires , red on top and white on the bottom. Then used a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the two mounting screws and removed the fuse. I then used a vacuum to clear any lint from the back of the dryer and inside the dryer. This took me about an hour and a half. I did it this way because I did not want to disassemble the entire dryer to get to the components. I received the fuse in 3 days and tested it. It was fine. I then put it in the dryer screwed it in place, connected the wires. Replaced the lint tube. This took about 10 minutes. Dryer is running great.
Found disassembly video and watched several times. Suspected that one of the drum wheels had seized up. Found extreme volume of lint and hair inside unit as well as a dryer sheet melted on top of heating unit. Front left drum wheel was worn down from lint and hair jamming its movement. Video made it easy, not a really complicated piece of machinery. Replaced all 4 wheels due to normal wear on other three. Wanted to be sure drum evenly balanced on all 4. Parts came quickly and were easy to install. My sister and I did this together. Would not recommend doing it alone. Took time to vac and wipe down entire unit. Now it runs so quiet we have to look to see if it is operating. Got a brand new machine out of it, saved a couple of hundred dollars in repair bills, and found 11 cents inside the machine. For your own piece of mind, if you have had your dryer for several years, you need to open it up and clean it out. Its not hard... added note, we are both in our 60's... so if we can do it so can you.... Such a feeling of accomplishment, can't buy that in a store....
I unplugged the dryer and disconnected the vent. I pulled the dryer away from the wall so I had room to work on it. Pulled the top cover off (slides back). Took the door off Took the front adjustable feet on the bottom off Unscrewed all of the face screws on the front of the dryer Took the two screws off of the back of the control panel holding the control panel to the metal frame. Gently pulled on the control panel to reveal 4 screws under the control panel to be able to take the front cover off. Pulled the front cover off (the dryer door front cover). Pulled the dryer vent cover off (two screws). I could now see the heating element with sensor/fuse (right side). Did a continuity test (beep) on all visable sensors/fuses on the heating element. No beep on the thermal fuse (used website diagram to locate parts to test and replacement part numbers). Got the part after about a week, tested the parted (it beeped), replaced with new part and put dryer back together, plugged in and the dryer heated. Problem solved.
