Ok here is todays riddle. I checked the recepticle for power and Im getting 247/125/122 as I should. I also checked the cord while it is not wired to the dryer and got the same reading. But when I wire it to the dryer either to the block or direct I get 247 on the ends and 52 to the left and middle and 198 to the right and middle. Someone please explain that one to me. Im getting real tired of clothes line dried towels!!:confused:

A quick test. Set the dryer on say 40 minutes of the timed dry cycle. Put you test meter leads on the two hot lines coming in at the terminal block on the back. It should read somewhere near 240 volts ac. Press start. Does the voltage disappear? Or drop to 120?
You have a problem in your receptacle or fuse/ breaker box.
