Default No Heat 3 Loads After Element Replacement
Model Number: 96272100   Brand: Sears   Age: More than 10 years   

Dryer was only warm and took 2 to 3 cycles to dry.
Replaced the heating element and it worked great for 3 loads then that completely quit heating. Everything else seems to work fine.
Any suggestions?

Most likely the problem is a clogged vent inside walls which caused the moister to stay inside the dryer and overheat to the dryer.

If it's not heating at all, probably the thermal cut off on the heater box is blown.

- The part number for the thermal cut off kit AP3094224

Thanks so much. I seen those parts back there but wasn't sure what they were. That sounds like that's the fix.
Thanks again.

Jim

Default Still no heat

I ordered and replaced the thermal cut off kit, but still no heat.
You also were right about the clog inside. I cleaned that out as well.
Is there a way to check if the cut offs are still good? Or is there any other fuse or shut off it could be?

I would recommend to perform the troubleshooting according to the heat circuit from the wiring diagram and the break down diagrams for your dryer.

If the thermal cut off is blown - it should be open.
