Our dryer will run fine when it’s empty. But when you put a full load in, it over heats and stops in about 5 minutes. If you try to dry half a load, it turns off around 10 minutes. If you only dry 1 or 2 things, it works. Is the motor bad, and any sort of weight will make it stop??
Hi, Does the drum rotate easily and smoothly when manually turned even with a full load? When a full load is in the drum does the drum actually rotate when powered or does it stall? Have you checked the tension on the drive belt to make sure that it is OK. Here’s a link to a parts supplier just to give an idea of where everything is and what the parts may cost. There are other suppliers online that may suit you better. Just search for DJXR433EG0WW parts to get results The troubleshooting guide in the dryer’s mini manual (i.e. tech sheet - link is auto download) doesn’t specify what to check for your problem. Although the wiring diagram shows that there is an overland protection device that shuts it down if there is too much current flowing through the motor windings for whatever reason. Perhaps it may be the motor but you would need an AC clamp meter connected to the motor to know what value of current is flowing though it to be sure.
