Problem
Dryer would power on but was stuck on the sensing step when attempting to start a cycle
Tools
Flat head screwdriver, Phillips head screwdriver, 1/4” hex socket, 5/8” hex socket, multimeter.
Repair & Advice
Dryer stopped working and threw a series of codes in diagnostic mode indicating airflow and thermostat issues. Removed the rear panel and tested the two intake thermostats, thermal fuse, and output thermostat with a multimeter. They all checked out and while there was some lint buildup in the system it wasn’t enough to restrict the airflow.
Upon further inspection it turned out the drum belt had snapped which tripped a cutoff switch when the belt tensioner lost tension. Not sure why there isn’t a specific code for that fault or why the other codes even appeared but a new belt fixed everything. Straightforward repair and there are good step by step tutorials on YouTube to follow.
Happy to buy a name brand belt and not risk putting in something cheap that might break in short order.
