DLB 1550BELAD

[ValleyJim]

I have an old Hotpoint Dryer Model DLB 1550BELAD.

I need to replace the cord on it but I have hit a little problem. When ever I search for the model number, I can only find a 1550 BEL. So is this the same as the one I have even though the model number is slightly different? Also, I was told that this has not been working. I am thinking the timer is probably gone. I think this would be the most obvious since there is not a hell of a lot of parts to a dryer. Anyway, does anyone know how to test the timer on these?

Thanks for reading!

The power cord? you do not need a model for that. Just need to know if the cord is a three or four prong. timer? one thing at a time here haus, get the cord on correctly and lets go from there. As far as the timer goes yes they do go bad mostly just physically break but I see more often that the actual knob that turns the timer gets broke and alot of people mistake that for a bad timer. Get it hooked up, make sure you have correct power going to it and let us know your findings.
