Was thanked: 4 time(s) in 4 post(s)
The first thing I would do is check the following parts for continuity:

1. The heating element (#14 on the break down diagram)

2. The thermal cut-off (#1 on the break down diagram)

3. The hi limit thermostat (#34 on the break down diagram)

4. The cycling thermostat (#42 on the break down diagram)

The following article on our forum will explain in detail how to run a continuity test using either an analog meter or a digital meter – How to check continuity with Ohmmeter.

Any of these parts with an open circuit has to be replaced.

- The part number for the heating element is AP3094254

- The part number for the thermal cut-off (including the hi limit thermostat) is AP3094244

- The part number for the hi limit thermostat is AP3131941

- The part number for the cycling thermostat is AP3131939

Good luck.
Gene.

OOPS! Meant to post this on my own thread. Sorry! Will do that now!

This may sound completely idiotic, hubby & I are both pretty handy, but I am assuming that this is accessible through the back of the dryer, is that correct?

I will give the info to hubby tonight & hopefully have some answers then.

Thank you!
