Overheating Drive Motors

ccasionally a dryer will run one

load and won't run the second or it

may quit after two or three cycles.

Dryer motors have high-temperature

safety thermostats embedded within the

motor. The safety will shut the dryer

down if the motor gets too hot. The

dryer often re-starts after sitting for a

few hours.

Uncle Harry’s

Trick of the Trade # 51

Don’t try to vacuum an overheating

motor. It cannot be effectively cleaned.

It is a waste of time; the motor must be

replaced. Trust your Uncle Harry.

Often an overheating motor can be

diagnosed over the phone. It is bad for

business to charge a service charge for

such an easy diagnosis. Handling this

one over the phone, it will result in more

business.

3. The Air Flow System

roblems with dryer heating systems

require a full understanding of the

air flow and heat controls. Let's go

through the air system section by section

and discuss the different components.

By far the most common dryer

complaint is

“My dryer takes too long to dry”

Many different flaws in the duct system

result in this complaint. Be careful,

there's a big difference between "no

heat" and a “small amount” of heat.

Some heat is far more common than no

heat at all.
