Ok saved her and here are her troubles. The stated switch is fried and the 110 coil is burnt out, so will need a new one of those, but the 220 coil is perfect. The major problem is the coil on the starter switch. I can drill it out but need a replacement and I'm not sure what to use. Thanks for everyone's help an I will post pics of the process as I go along!

It does look like your solenoid on the combination heat relay pull to start switch is fried, this was unique to WH dryers but you can replace just the solenoid if you are willing to drill out a few rivets. I am not sure if the power cord is connected properly you need the wiring diagram to be sure. PS there is no 110 or 220 volt power in this country, when this dryer was made it was designed for 115-230 volt power, now we have 120-240 power, unless you are in a three phase area then you have 120-208 volt power. |

This size solenoid was used on many different appliance applications, it is for example the same size as the ones that KA used on their drain valves for many years, but in the case of KA DWs it was an intermittent duty solenoid so it would burn out if you tried to use it in your dryer where it has to run an hour or more.
I would imagine that a good old appliance repair place might have something that would work or you may find a suitable replacement on line or from a place like Grangers, good luck. |
