[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']I have a Whirlpool Duet GEW9250PT0. It runs but won't get hot. Made sure the vent is clear and disconnected it but no change (plenty of air coming out but cold). Followed all fault tracing in manual for Thermal cut off, high limit thermostat and thermal fuse and all have continuity. The heater element has 10 ohms of resistance and doesn't have any burnt spots. Checked resistance on the thermistor and it was about 19k ohms at 50 degrees. This seems to lead to a bad control panel but I looked at the wiring diagram and tested the heater relay at N.O. and COM and they both had 120V with dryer running (I guess that’s OK but can't find a spec on it). Not an expert at A/C circuits, I do a lot of automotive electrical diagnostics, 12V systems. It looks like there could be trouble with the centrifugal switch on the motor since it gives the heater element 120V on the other side. I wanted to check both sides of the element with the dryer running (to test it under load) but did not, being unsure if it should be 120V at both sides Any help would be greatly appreciated![/font]
