My dryer ran fine Thurs night, come Sun evening it would not start. I have tested all the thermostats and thermal fuses with a continuity tester and they all show a completed circuit. I also checked my door switch and my push to start button and they are making a closed circuit when pushed. I followed the diagram on the schematics for the dryer that I found in the back for the timer and checked all the settings that should read closed and they are showed ok also. I also checked the outlet in the wall and it is showing electricity for both sides of the outlet. I even went to the extent of making sure each of the poles of the plug wire was making a connection to the terminal block.
I know using a continuity tester isn't exactly the way to go but I'm seriously limited on money and thats all I have to work with.

I'm also showing a circuit being completed through my heating element but it seems a bit weaker since the last time I had to work in the back of this dryer. I however can not find any broken spots in the element.

I'm currently at a loss as to how exactly to get my drum out of the way to make sure the motor is getting a connection. I've managed to get the front off and am supporting the drum currently till I can figure out how to get it out of the way.

Any suggestions would be welcome as I'm desperate to get this fixed as I have to do my husbands and my kids uniforms nightly and right now am having to hang clothes all over the house sigh.:eek:

On section 1 item #9 should that be showing closed? because I pulled the wires off that and it was open.

As for checking the timer with wires off no so I will do that tonight when I get home.

And as for that thermal fuse um yeah that has been bypassed already :| the place didn't have it in stock the last time I worked on the dryer. I guess since I have it all open again I'll get now.

Thanks for the response. I'll post back when I know more. And thanks for those drawings those should be a bit helpful.
