I believe I tested everything that has been discussed on this forum with little or no success. I used a multi-meter and tested the power coming in to ensure I had 110 + 110 =220 volts. The continuity tested successfully for the heating element at ~9.7 Ohms (even though it does not get 240V while running), thermal cut-off 0 Ohm, high limit thermostat 0 and thermal fuse 0. The cycling thermostat read 10.75 Ohms so I bypassed it by taping the two wires together but still no heat. It runs for about 1 minute and then beeps 3 times and shuts off. If I reconnect the cycling thermostat it will run without the 3 beeps and not shut off. I also I taped each pair of wires together for the above components, one group at a time, with no luck.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Something wrong with your model #, please check. Or this data base has problems.

Nope I just ran downstairs and wrote it down again, it's correct(?).

I just sent a note off to the site to see if they can advise further since I beleive it is equivelent ot a Whirlpool model.

Did you measure your input power with the dryer running??
If ok the only things left are the timer contacts, motor switch and thermistor The cycling thermostat was probably your thermistor, check your service sheet for it's room temperature resistance. Usually the problem for the conditions described. Click on your model # for ordering info.

Now you are getting into an rea I'm unfamilar. I was only able to test the others because testing info I found on the web.

Earlier you thought it was the circuit board is that no longer the case? I did have the dryer running when I checked the voltage at the input. Would the dryer run, if it was the the motor switch or timer contacts? I don't have a service sheet or wiring diagrahm. Do yoiu know where I might find one?

Thanks again
