roper dyer runs. but heating element doesn't heat up.. thermostat at element has 119.2 volts.. element reading 9k ohms.thermostat heater 7k ohms:eek:

i know this is an old post but i have the same problem, my roper dryer just stopped heating. I dont have a meter yet, but there is power at the heater terminals. Would a bad thermosata cause the heating elements not to get hot but have power?

This dude here is a limit kit:Pictured on left is the 300 degree limit.This limit mounts on the top of the heater element chamber. Most of the time that is the puppy that dies. The larger one shown on the right mounts on the base of the heater element chamber and is rated for 250 degrees. Both of these come in the kit because both have failed.The element itself could be out as well. If all the safetys check out and the element then most likely it is the timer. The timer on these machines will burn a contact on the inside of the connection marked RH. If you suspect this is it you can test it by removing the heavy red wire from the timer at the point marked RH and check that with a meter against every other connector on the timer. At some point you should get a reading. If not then that puppy is fried.

You have a limit problem. Check that limit at the top of the heater element chamber.

If the dryer is turning with no heat and the tester lights up then unplug the dryer and remove the heater. Inspect it for the break or take it to the parts store and let em check it for you to be sure. they would rather check it than sell you the part. They do not refund electrical stuff. Peeps do not like to buy second hand stuff.
