Hi Bud. Thanks for the info from the eBay board. Also, thanks for thinking of me and my mom after losing dad this week. I know we'll get through this but it is going to be a very hard road for a while. |

Hi John. Thanks for the pointer. I have some triacs which are heavier parts. Will swap one in and see what sort of action I get. |

Due to some time constraints, I went ahead and ordered the used dryness board from eBay. Installed it and the dryer automatic mode is working well! If I have time in the future, I will replace the TRIAC on the original and see if that was the only issue. Thanks again for your help! |

It's either the triac or the zener diode. Glad you got it back running! Bud - Atlanta |
