Power Surge Killed Dryer
A power surge killed my Affinity AEQ8000FG0 electric dryer. NOTHING will light up or work. Will replacing the Control Board fix the dryer? Or should I replace the unit totally? The problem with replacing it is that it is a match to the washer, which is kind of a coal blue color, and these don't seem to be available any longer. So to get a matching set I'd have to buy the washer as well. Which most folks wouldn't mind a non-color matching set, I don't guess, but in our case, the washer and dryer is right in the entry way of our home, so it's kind of important. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

Hello,
The possible causes are Thermal fuse, door switch or Driver motor.
Be aware that a blown thermal fuse is an indication of a restricted exhaust vent from the dryer to the outside. Always check the dryer venting when replacing a blown thermal fuse.
To determine if the door switch is working, try starting your dryer and then listen for the "click." If the door switch makes a clicking sound, it is probably not defective. If you don't hear a click, use a multimeter to use the door switch for continuity. If the switch does not have continuity, replace it
If the blower wheel is clear of obstructions, the dryer motor might be at fault. If you suspect the motor is defective, replace it.
