I have been going over the machine to see just what happened.
Indeed she must have shorted out the pushbuttons because those are the wires that are FRIED the most! But in doing that she ended up pulling 220 through that OFF switch too which caused the metal contact on the timer box to melt off and so the contact and wire pulled off the box and engaged the Jumper wire which brought 220 through the water switch and other components! So the upshot is she couldnt have turned the machine off if she wanted too. Ditz is right! Never liked TIDE anyway!!!! Its for wringers ONLY! The rest of the machine is in good shape. If it works again I am guessing it will dry like my GE combo since its set up that way. Broil-A-Dry. |

I drew it in on an upper layer. I don't have much luck with the trace tool. Its quirky.
Now I can rewire this baby. Tom if the heating element is as strong as the one in my GE then it should take about the same amount of time to dry. Can't wait to see how they ruined the real Duo since I use them every day! |

Jon, the drying temperature in Duomatics is much lower than in the GE combos, about 160F, like the 36" machines. |

wow can't wait, I got the colored wiring yesterday and am planning my surgeries for next week. The fire must have come early as the interior looks very new, no rust.
Its a frame machine just like the very first gyramatic was so the panels all bolt on and off, should make it easy to service. Tom thanks for the drying temps, I really like the way my Duos dry not fry the clothes so thats fine with me. It can tumble all day in the kitchen if it wants too. |
