Norge Dryer won't stop

When your Norge dryer won't stop, won't turn off, or keeps running after the cycle ends, start by checking airflow, since a clogged vent or duct is the most common cause and raises cabinet temperatures, lengthens drying time, and can produce a burning smell. If the vents are clear, confirm you did not enable an anti-wrinkle or permanent-press option; those settings tumble the drum intermittently to prevent wrinkles. Next inspect the blower wheel for lint, stray socks, or a worn sleeve that lets the wheel wobble and weakens exhaust flow. Also check incoming power: a loose plug or a tripped circuit breaker can deliver intermittent power and make the dryer stop and restart. If venting and the blower check out and the dryer is heating correctly, a faulty control board or main control may be allowing the unit to keep running. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement blower wheel, vent parts, control board, or other parts for your dryer along with step-by-step repair guidance.

01 - Air Flow Problem

If the vent line is clogged or partially clogged, it will restrict the airflow through the dryer, substantially increasing the drying time and cabinet temperature and potentially causing a burning smell. To ensure proper dryer performance, you should clean your dryer's venting system at least once per year.

02 - Anti-wrinkle cycle option selected

Most dryer models have an anti-wrinkle cycle option that can be selected to reduce wrinkles. When selected the dryer drum will tumble the clothes every few minutes after the cycle is completed to help keep wrinkles from occurring. If this option was inadvertently selected the dryer will intermittently run until the clothes are removed.

03 - Norge Dryer Blower Wheel

The blower wheel draws air through the dryer and pushes the air out the vent. Clumps of lint, socks, and small articles of clothing can escape the lint filter and get caught in the blower wheel. In addition, the blower wheel sleeve can wear out, allowing the blower wheel to wobble on the motor shaft. If the blower wheel is obstructed or defective, it may take too long to dry clothes. To determine if the blower wheel is working properly, remove the dryer vent and assess the strength of the air flow. If the air flow is weak, check the blower wheel for obstructions. If no obstructions are present, try rotating the blower whee...l by hand. If the blower wheel wobbles as it turns, replace it.

04 - Incoming Power Problem

Confirm a circuit breaker has not tripped and the power cord is plugged tightly into the wall receptacle. A loose plug can provide intermittent power to the dryer and cause it to spinning stop during the cycle.

05 - Norge Dryer Control Board

A dryer's control board controls the voltage being sent to all of the appliance's electrical components. If there's no obstruction in the dryer's venting and the dryer is heating to the proper temperature, it's possible the control board is defective and allowing the appliance to run longer than it should. You can inspect the board for signs of damage or a shorted component. You can also use a multimeter to test for voltage reaching the drive motor after reviewing the dryer's wiring diagram.

06 - Norge Dryer Main Control Board

A dryer's main control board controls the voltage being sent to all of the appliance's electrical components. If there's no obstruction in the dryer's venting and the dryer is heating to the proper temperature, it's possible the control board is defective and allowing the appliance to run longer than it should. You can inspect the board for signs of damage or a shorted component.
