Could be a number of things. What is happening, in a nutshell, is that for some reason the wet clothes are no longer discharging the electronic control capacitor when they are wet. Some things to check -
Pull the back off and make sure that all 3 baffles still have the wire connected to them and that something hasn't come loose there. Double-check that the wire connection at the copper slip ring hasn't worked itself loose in some fashion. Make sure that the yellow wire (#12) hasn't worked its way off of the selector switch. There is also a remote possibility that the carbon brush that rides the slip ring has disintegrated to the point where it crumbled and fell out. Also, is there any possibility that there has been electrical work done in your home about 6 weeks ago? A careless electrician may have compromised the grounding of this machine at the electrical panel. Those are the thoughts off the top of my head.... | ||

One of the curled sides of the terminal connector fell off.

Duct tape holding terminal connectors in their slots (Sorry, didn't know how to get multiple photos into one message).

DE606 Dryer Problems The brass terminals have a tendency to break like this as they age, I would just solder all the terminals in place directly to the circuit board, As a service technician I have done this at least 30 times and it has always worked well, John.
Doing this solves a lot of problems with these dryers, also keep in mind this dryer will dry clothing a little dryer if you use the WnW setting. | ||
