Problems with Fisher and Paykel DEGX1 I have looked at all of the truble shooting ideas and none of them helped. Can you send me a repair diagram so that I will know how to get to the heater element? and do you have any advice that will help me fix this drier?
Thank you

Yes, get a new element. The reason it's on all the time is because the element coils have broken and one of the coils is touching the canister that encloses it. This creates a direct short to ground. By the way, the element has 120 volts to it all the time. It will only HEAT when 240 is applied through the centrifugal switch of the motor. Your 120 volts is shorting to ground... not enough amps to trip the circuit breaker, but enough to glow the element.

Restricted venting is the most likely cause, they did change the thermostats a couple years ago. the small t-stats should look cut out on the metal side they should not be solid, also check to make sure the elements are not shorted to ground.

If you have the same I do then it's the circuit breaker on the heating element. You have to take the front of the dryer off: Two screws on the top under the caps. Then lift the top alittle and you'll see the two screws on the front top sheet metal. The front then can be removed by pulling each side out and forward. The orange button is all the way at the bottom. Push and you'll hear it click.

Could be something simple like a limit popped due to clogged vent or a open heating element. DEGx1 Service Manual

Same problem....heat in dryer for one load and now the next load, we can not get any heat in the dryer. Checked outside exhaust for blockage with nothing found. Dryer turns, all buttons are functioning, just NO HEAT! Help please!
we keep having the same problem....all we have been able to do is tilt the dryer back & underneath there's a red reset button that we push....lately we've been doing it more often than not...hope this helps!
