I have a Kenmore electric dryer model 110.60932990
This unit has the circuit board in back of the timer, and moisture sensor
Symptoms:
During a timed cycle or moisture sensor cycle the dryer stops after running for maybe 4 or 5 minutes, on the high heat setting. It does this even without any dryer vent connected. I start it up again and it might run for a while, but then stop.
All airways look to be clear
If I lower the heat setting it seems to not shut down as much, and might even run for 20 minutes but it will usually still shut down.
Thermostat was replaced a few months ago, problem persists
Would the thermal cuttoff sensor on the heating element assy do this? does it reset itself on this model?
I guess the question is What components can stop the cycle? I thought it might be the motor or door switch after reading some earlier posts, but it seems to relate to the temperature setting. I see there are a number if sensors also on the exhaust assy, but I am not sure what they do
Any help would be appreciated--
Thanks in advance--
