Here is your parts breakdown Model TEDX640PQ0Here is the wiring diagram https://www.servicematters.com/d...0Sheet%20-%208528187.pdfBy turn on I assume you mean the drum rotates Put the unit to timed dry Now does the timer rotate/advance If yes then you know that you have 240 volts and that the motors centrifugal switch is closing. Then the problem is in the heater line (the heat element, a thermostat or the thermal fuse) Since you have replaced the timer I would ignore it's contacts for now. Note: They sell the thermal fuse and high limit as a set so both have to be replaced. If it is the thermal fuse make sure to check the air flow out of the machine. Also clean and check your vent system |

Next is open it up and check the components
Must have been daydreaming on my first post.
Since it does not advance in Auto the most likely culprit is the heating element.
Remove it and check it, will probably be able to see the break.
Remember to unplug the unit, 240 volts is very dangerous.
If you do not have a meter I would like to suggest you buy one. You can get a decent digital multimeter for under $20.00. You do not need fancy though it is nice if the leads are a couple feet long. If it saves you buying one unnecessary part it has paid for itself and you end up owning a very useful tool.
Two things to do when measuring resistance
1. Always remove power from the machine you are testing
2. Always remove the wires from one side of any device you are measuring, this ensures you are not measuring an alternate/parallel path.
There is a good sticky at the top of this forum
With a meter you could check:
the heater element = approximately 10 ohms
the thermostats = 0 ohms at room temperature
the thermal cutoff (fuse) = 0 ohms |
