How to repair your appliance? Experts will help you...

When you turn on your dryer, it starts and operates normally for a few minutes until it reaches its maximum operating temperature. Then, it stops and only restarts once it has cooled down. You wonder if the thermostat is responsible for this malfunction and you would like to know the name or series of the thermostat in order to be able to purchase it if necessary. Be careful not to burn yourself by touching it, as if it is too hot, it may indicate a motor malfunction. It is possible that the motor is equipped with a thermal protector that opens and stops operation at a certain temperature. Once cooled down, it restarts. To check this, you can run the motor without a load and apply a load on the pulley with a piece of wood to observe its reaction. If you notice that it heats up and stops, it may indicate a defect. You can check this by turning the drum with your hands to see if the rotation is smooth and without any resistance. If the thermostat is indeed faulty, you can search for its name or series to replace it.
