Hi APP Team,
I followed all your 6 steps and tried to determine which part(s) might go bad in my Whirlpool Dryer model no LEC8858EQ0, no heat but run !
Here are the results:
Step 1 passed
Step 2 passed
Step 3 passed
Step 4 - Thermal fuse seemed to be good as the ohmmeter showed 0 (all way to the right)
Step 5 - checked the heating element continuity: it showed 0 if the two test points were touched on the two
terminals, BUT it sometime showed lots of resistance (or infinite resistance) if you touched the two test points on the coils ! How do you determine if the coils were brunt out ? or going-to-be-bad ?
Step 6 - check the thermal cut-off for continuity: the one (with two terminals) connected to heating element seemed to be goog as it showed 0 resistance. The other one part has two pairs of terminals (mounted directly under the Thermal fuse), one pair showed 0 resistance, the other pair showed 75% of resistance (with wires connected to different terminals), at this point I'm not sure if this part is good or bad.
Thanks in advance!
Dennis
