I am in need of a wiring diagram for an Amana electric clothes dryer model PLE8317W2, serial #9411059089 to diagnose a no heat situation.

Sorry but cannot be very helpful
I did find a manual for this series but it was pretty pathetic and did not include any wiring diagrams.

Have you looked in the control console often they store diagrams in there.

Here is a a manual which does not include your unit but may at least give you some insight as to how Amana tends to wire units.

First thing to check with heat problems is the power (only applies to electric unit)
Try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times. Sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker.
Check the voltage at the plug
L1 to L2 should be 240 volts
L1 to Neutral and L2 to Neutral, both should be 120 volts.
If OK
Unplug the unit and check the wires at the terminal strip in the machine to make sure none are loose or burned out
If OK
Check the power at the terminal strip.
Do this with the heater off and on.

Denman,
Thanks for the info. I inherited this dryer with a house purchase. When I opened the dryer cabinet it became evident that the previous owner or a "service tech." had done some rewiring of the dryer in a less than professional manner. The reference you suggested will be very helpful. Thanks again.
