Our Duraflace 1500 electric infrared heater has one element that seems to be damaged and burnt out. Is this replaceable? How do I replace it? I already took it apart to find the damaged element.

It is replaceable, just make sure you order the correct replacement element and DO NOT remove the old one until you have the new one in hand so you can replace in reverse of removal! Thank you

SOURCE: Whirlpool Dryer extremely hot

If your dryer heating element does not cycle, you may have a bad high limit thermostat. The thermostat is used to regulate the internal temperature of the dryer and should cycle the heater on and off. The thermal cut-out is supposed to prevent the dryer from overheating and will blow like a fuse. It is a non-resettable device and must be replaced. It is strongly recommended that you replace both these components at the same time if you have found one of them to be bad. Both of these components will be mounted on the heater box housing. Usually the thermostat is the component closest to the ceramic terminals of the heating element. Most manufacturers sell these two components as a set. The dryer temperature at the exhaust on the back of the dryer should be about 140 degrees. If the temperature is excessive to the point where it is melting things and the cabinet is too hot to touch, make sure the heater is regulating as it should. I would use some extreme caution about using your dryer until you have this problem corrected. I would not use it under any circumstances if you are not going to be home, or if you are going to bed. Dryers are one of the number causes of fires in homes. Good luck to you and let me know if I can help any further.

SOURCE: Kenmore electric stove heating element how to replace

A replacement is usually around $40. There are usually 2 screws holding the element in the back of the stove. Turn off the power and remove the element. There are usually only 2 wires. It really doesn't matter which goes where. Install the new element and see if it will shut off when oven reachers temp. If it continues to heat, there is another piece that needs to be replaced. If there is a contactor or relay replace it, If not the thermostat needs to be replaced. Sometimes when the element burns out it shorts to the ground and fuses the contacts forcing the element to stay on. Sometimes you actually have to turn off the power to the stove.

SOURCE: I have an AO5 error

This indicates a power fault inside the actual heater. Have you tried unplugging the heater, letting it sit for a good 2 minutes, and replugging it back in? If the problem persists you will unfortunately need a repair. Please let me know if you need more information on this. You can also contact comfort zone, the manufacturer, located in Canada, at 780-420-6572.

Thanks so much for the question,

Tim

How do i fix a rbhc14j11sfa furance that is burning hot when shut off?

Most electric heating units have a safety to ensure positive air flow before energizing heating elements. It seems to me failed and the element burned. any damaged elements will need to be replaced as will any failed safeties. Then you will need to determine why the elements continued to be energized when the unit was off.

Burnt out element

Are you sure its burnt out? Most of the time its the thermostat. If its burnt out then just change the element. To do that all ya do is shut off the power to the heater drain the tank unhook the two wires on the element and unscrew the element and replace it with a new one. You can get new ones at lowes or home depot. Its usually the bottom that goes out first.

All the clothes in my dryer dry at a normal time, but the smell burnt! After a dry cycle, the inside of the dryer smells like something is melting, but everything seems to be working correctly. We have had...

Remove the vent duct at the back and clean out all of the lint. Next, find the air inlet to the heater elements and make sure there is no lint accumulated there. Inspect the back of the drum (inside) for any plastic debris (something left in a pocket?) that might have melted and stuck on there. Last resort: remove the dryer cabinet and drum, and inspect the heater and its wiring. If the insulation on the wires appears burned or is broken off, cut off the damaged part of the wiring and replace its terminals, then polish the heater terminals before reattaching the wires (a tarnished connection will cause the wire to overheat). Clean out the heater if necessary, but be careful not to stress the heater element. Used heater wire is brittle and cracks or breaks easily.
