Frequently Asked Questions
•What is the typical resistance range for the humidity sensor when dry?
Typically, the resistance of a dry humidity sensor will be very high, often approaching infinite resistance or several megaohms. Refer to the specific service manual for your model for precise specifications.
•How do I access the heating element on this model?
Access to the heating element usually requires removing the rear panel of the dryer. Disconnect power first. The element is typically located within a metal housing. Be careful of sharp edges.
•Can a faulty door switch cause long drying times?
Yes, although a faulty door switch usually prevents the dryer from starting at all, an intermittent connection could potentially cause interruptions in the drying cycle, leading to extended drying times. Test the door switch for continuity when closed and open.
