I put red lead on one side and black in one of the round holes and I have no reading. I noticed in the breaker box the the dryer breaker does lock firmly into on position. Can this be my problem?

Slight problem though, I dropped a screwdriver bit to my drill down the link screen vent and its lodged in the track where the screen slides. Banged and banged....turned the dryer over....nothing. Its alittle beyond where the vent curves and my hand can no loner reach, even with a screw driver in hand I couldnt pop it out.

You can not remove the air dust completely without disassembling the whole dryer but you can lift the bottom of the air duct which should be good enough to reach this piece. Try to use a magnet.

It was big enough for me to wedge a screwdriver behind the lodged item and free it. Plus I found a lost tool !!!!!!!! You have taught me so much about my dryer I might just keep it for another 20 yrs! Have a wonderful day, thanks again!
