Model # PYE2300AYW
Serial # 10257062ZK
Series # 10

Here is what happened:

1. Turned dryer on: Breaker thrown
a. Switch breaker back on and tested dryer

2. Dryer would not get power
a. Tested breaker/ok
b. tested dryer switch and wires/ok
c. by passed small thermal fuse on side of heating element (internet troubleshooting)

3. Dryer got power. Loud buzzing noise and would shut off
a. Replaced all thermal fuses

4. Still loud noise and would shut off
a. checked wires located inside small cover where power cord attaches/ok
b. Completely tore down dryer to check all wiring for damaged wires. All wires ok.


More internet troubleshooting indicated that the motor was not bring the watts from 220 to 110. Not sure how to test that. Motor seems to run ok. Drums manually turns without problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We can't really afford a new dryer right now. Thanks!

I prefer you don't check prices, rather show your support like a good boy scout and use my links to get the parts. If you shop anywhere else, I will never receive a penny compensation for my help. Do you want to see me fail miserably or still be around to help you next time?

I put the link above so you would have the best price and the fastest shipping already!! I helped you, now you help me, Okay?

Beside, only my affiliates allow you to return any part...you ain't gonna find that on Ebay.

In my frustration to get a dryer working I did not see that you make a compensation on the parts. I will check your link. Thanks so much for your assistance!
