Last week my electric LG Clothes Dryer (Model DLEX2650W) would turn the drum, but it wouldn't heat up.
I replaced the thermal fuse and high limit thermostat. I cleaned lint out of the exhaust vent. I cleaned lint out of the machine. While cleaning lint out of the inside of the dryer I also found 42 plastic guitar picks.
It ran fine for a week then had the same problem. I ran the "flow sense" test on the dryer. It indicated I had restricted airflow. I disconnected the vent and ran the flow sense again, venting the air directly into my basement.
Even without the vent attached, I got the 4 bars on my "flow sense" test, indicating severely restricted air flow.
I opened up the dryer again to see if the blower wheel was obstructed by lint or guitar picks that I missed last time. It's not. It spins freely with no wobbling.
I could probably replace the thermal fuse and high limit thermostat and run it for another week or two, but I would like to know the source of the restricted airflow.
Any ideas?
