Tumble dryer wiring
I am trying to find diagrams for a Whirlpool awz 3519 tumble dryer.Reason being to bypass the "Clean Filter" switch.If it drops below 5
degrees it becomes very sensitive and trouble some.At the minute I have the 'dryer wrapped in a blanket with the outside discharge hose off so
it doesn't get to cold...ahhhh,bless.
I am assuming its going to be either a humiditiy or pressure diff' based switch/sensor.
Thanks in advance.
..Which was nice..

A Tumble Drier wrapped in a blanket?????????????????????????????????????????
Can anyone say "fire hazard"?
Seriously tho, thats very dangerous. You need to find another way to make that work. The amount of tumble driers that go on fire would frighten you -
I know it shocked me. As to bypassing the sensor, I'd guess it's a binary state (i.e. on or off) so it should be a case of finding the
sensor, and either disconnecting it and terminate the wires safely (but not connected to each other) or directly connecting the wires together
(shorting out the sensor). either way, just make sure your connections are well insulated and protected from the moving drum and the heating
element.
Hope this helps (sorry about being a worry wort!)

tumble dryers and washing machines cause many house fires and shouldnt be used unattended.....
should never be left on over night.
