Just stopped working. I've looked thru the forums and did what I saw on the others, However its still not working. I've gone thru my wiring and tested volts what I found is I'm only getting 110v to one side of the element, which is the main feed from the wall. The other side comes from the motor. I have 110v at the motor but not coming out. My wife wants to buy new dryer but I would like to fix it. Its not that old. Any help would be greatly appreiciated.

There is a thermal fuse mounted on the blower housing. That will be your problem. Tom ApplianceEducator.com

Tom,
I did a continuity check on every little 2 wire thing mounted on blower and heater housing, all test good. Am I not testing them right. I'll add this to the mix- My wife was able to get it started the other day by messing with the timer switch, however now nothing helps. Thanks

As long as you pulled one wire off of each thing you checked, you then got good readings. If it is all well, I would go with the timer, because of your wife messing with it to get it to run. I have seen that plenty of times with my customers. Tom ApplianceEducator.com
