Whirlpool Estate dryer running problems
Videos
So I just replaced the belt, idler pulley and drum wheels on a standard electric dryer ( model WED4815EW1 ). Finished and put it all together and ran to test, got heat but no air or spin. Got out the tester and went through looking for continuity.
Everything was getting power until I checked the thermal fuse in the back. Am confused because I thought the blown fuse would keep the heater from running not the motor but I guess that’s only an assumption on my part.
Not sure why it would have blown, I only ran it for 30 seconds before checking and seeing it was getting hot but no spin, tested the motor and it seems to be fine. It was completely covered in lint when I opened so I vacuumed it out, thought the excess might have caused something after firing it up again
Just need help trouble shooting what went wrong and what if anything I should check. Already ordered a 3 pack of fuses on Amazon but I’m not sure what blew it in the first place, or if it’s related. Any help would be great. Have 2 days until the fuses get here.
