need help

Published Oct. 16, 2008

Wanted everyone to know the dryer is working again.  Not really sure what the problem was.  My wife called me on the way home and said she tried it again when she got home and it started up.  ran fine all last night.  Thanks for all the great suggestions.

Ours stopped last week...Thank Goodness Hubby is such a wonderful handy man...I thought Oh No now we have to buy a dryer...BUT I had cleaned out my 5 year olds pants in which he had a Hot Wheel Fire Truck...ended up rolling in the lint trap when I cleaned it out and got jammed in the...sorry for my female term here..."thingy" that makes the drum turn. Easy fix and I was right at it again.

I swear some toys cause more Opps here....well other then my coffee maker "do-hickey" going down the garbage disposal without my knowledge...Yep I managed to lock that up too.

Maybe one day they will fire me *LOL* JOKING

YeaOh, are your hours male hours or female hours?? Cause we KNOW those two are different!!

My granny use to say, "If it's mechanical and it doesn't work, you bash it with a stick."

LOL LOL LOL

She did too.

God bless.

Thx Jesus_Rocks. I have been missing some socks lately. Will keep you posted.

It may not be complicated at all. When my new one quit working for NO reason the repair guy got a huge laugh when he came to repair it. There was a sock that had gotten through the lint catcher and that stopped it from running. If you know how to get to that section of the dryer check that first, then do what others have suggerst...Good luck and let us know what you find out....

When cleaning the lint out of the dryer, make sure you check the vent on the outside of your house. Lint can build up in there and inside the hose. A clog means the dryer has to work harder and harder to pull the wet air out of the clothes, and eventually something will burn out.

Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions. I was thinking the Thermostat or door switch. Didn't think of the timer.

What is the make of the dryer? Had a Kenmore one time when the vent got some lint in it and slowed the air flow a fuse would blow. (was built in to keep from starting a fire they say) Replaced it several times over a few years $20 or so......the tech. said that model did have some problems.....I finally got rid of it!!!

chickentender63, :), Really not sure but I thought it sounded good..

If you decide to repair it yourself, the best place to find parts is at Cashwell Appliance Parts Garner/Raleigh line, right off 70.You will need the brand name, model# & in some cases the serial #.
