The heating element needs 240 volts while the motor will run with 120 volts. If there is nothing wrong then perform the troubleshooting, using the instructions from one of our previous posts: http://forum.appliancepartspros...timer-wont-turn-off.html Post the results of the troubleshooting.

The thermal fuse in electric dryer is in the motor circuit. If this fuse is open then the dryer would not do anything. Gene.

Does this mean that the thermal cutoff and cycling thermostat are NO GOOD?
