My wife is complaining about the amout of time it takes to dry a load of clothes in our GE dryer (newer model - about 5 years old) - AGAIN. About a year or so ago it was really running low heat and I checked into this ng that pointed me to a fine web site (can't remember the name of it) that told me how to take it apart and check the two stage heater coil in back of the barrel (which was really easy to get out - when shown..) The high heat coil had, in fact, burned through the wire in the coil - so, I replaced it... (I opted to replace the whole coil assembly at that time - but, I can't remember if it came with the thermostats, too.) -and, it has been drying just fine.
This time, however, the coil looks good, the thermostats meter out ok, and the exhaust pipe blows lots of air... and, it theat coming out of it seems to be quite hot..... however, the clothes DO take forever to completely dry out... Any suggestions???
You know, now that I think of it - I didn't meter the heater coils out.... they just "looked" good.. I'll tear it apart again and meter those devils this time - maybe it's the low heat coil... In the meantime, any other ideas??
Thanks in advance,
Palmer
