A Kenmore dryer on Naomi Street in Akron wasn’t producing any heat despite running normally. Our diagnosis revealed overheated wires caused by loose connections and shorting, requiring a complete terminal block and cord replacement.

The Problem

The customer reported their dryer runs not getting hot. The unit would complete cycles but clothes remained damp and cold, indicating a complete loss of heating function.

Diagnosis

Inspection of the electrical connections revealed wires over heated due to loose connection and/or shorting out. The terminal block showed clear signs of heat damage from compromised electrical connections that created dangerous arcing and resistance.
