Toolguy,

Did you check for a shorted heater element ?

It may have broke and shorted to the element casing.

Do you have a thermometer or temperature meter so you can check for 155(+/-10%) degrees at the exhaust vent on the dryer, with the vent off ?

That would be the next step, were it me.

Good Luck,

:) :) :)
