Hotpoint NVLR333E heater coils |
|
|
i have a dryer that keeps melting the heater coils. it works fine for a
couple of loads, then melts the coils in half. also, the timer doesn't
work. is this a problem with the timer or the thermostat? what do i
need to check, and how do i need to check it?

Hi,
Is it like this one?

Is it the right part? Did you get the connections right? are all the
standoffs there? Unusual vibrations? does it always break in the same
place?

it's the same.
it was the right part. the connections were right. the standoffs were
there. it had the usual vibrations. it doesn't allway break in the same
place.
i don't know if the coils are getting too hot or what. i am not even
sure how to go about figuring out this problem. i know how to take the
dryer apart, but that's about it. i work on multi million dollar
servers, not washers and dryers. i could figure it out, i just need
guidance. i'm a computer doctor, not a maytag man! j/k sorry...

Hmm well in line with that heater circuit is the thermal cutout ,
operating thermostat and the over temp thermostat. if the op thermostat
was malfunctioning the over temp would cause the heater to shut down as
below. BTW do you have a schematic? usually taped to the back or in
behind the control panel:

so unless the heater elements are running over rated..also caused by a
short in the heater circuit, coil touching a ground. Alternately do the
clothes seem too hot??
Sometimes the multimillion dollar jobs can be brought down by a very
simple element.

I'd run it on the air fluff cycle and see what the air flow is like.
