Gene has much to be proud of
Default

The first thing I would check is the 240V from the outlet. It suppose to be 120V across any hot and the neutral and 240V across both hot.

If the readings are wrong, reset both circuit breakers for the dryer.

If it did not help, cal a certified electrician to fix the circuit breakers.

If there is nothing wrong then check continuity across the heating element terminals with one wire removed (#17 on the bulkhead parts break down digram). Replace the heating element if it's open.

Check the thermal cut off (#6 on the bulkhead parts break down diagram) and the hi limit thermostat (#15 on the bulkhead parts break down diagram) for continuity.

- The part number for the heating element is AP3094254

- The part number for the hi limit thermostat is AP3131941

- The part number for the thermal cut off is AP3094244

Good luck.
Gene.
