I have 240 v at the terminal block. The heating coil is not grounded & shows continuity. The thermal limiter, control thermostat & high limit thermostat all have continuity & 3-4 ohms resistance.

I have a 20+ yr. old Time-Life major appliance repair manual & followed the testing procedures in it. Obviously it is outdated on some things. I tried to test the centrifugal switch, but the manual talked about checking continuity & resistance with the button pushed in and then with it out - couldn't figure out what they were talking about - there is no button on mine. I took it apart and all the connections look clean, so I don't think it could be the problem.

The only thing I really found wrong is that the manual said the timer motor should test at 2-3,000 ohms. With my digital multimeter set to 200 ohm range, the display didn't change from the number 1. Could the timer motor even affect the heat?

Thanks for your help!
