I have a Maytag Atlantis electric dryer that is having trouble heating up. I checked the hi limit thermostat, cycle thermostat, the thermal fuses, the element and the temperature selection switch for continuity and all of them check out fine. (I also switched out the door switch) I then proceeded to try the dryer with the door open while holding the door switch and wouldn't you know the element grew cherry red and the dryer worked. However when I shut the dryer or even cracked it, it cools down again and blows very low heat. I would really love to hear from some people that might know what my problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
