Hello all,
I think I overloaded the dryer. While drying 2 small rugs the heat suddenly stopped and the air was cool. The belt must have slipped because I could smell burnt rubber and saw a little bit of smoke. Does anyone have any idea as to what might have caused the heating element to fail or trip? The dryer is equipped with a capacitor and I checked & cycled the circuit breaker panel in the house. I found a post online that said to hold the start button in for 3 seconds while opening the dryer door but the issue remains.
Are there any other button reset combinations that I can try, if not did the heating element just decide to give up at that very moment?
Thank you.
