Hi.

If you have the multimeter proceed with troubleshooting.
First check if there is 240VAC to the dryer (if not check the circuit breaker and outlet).
Unplug the dryer, remove the toe panel (two screws at the bottom), locate the manual - you may need it.
To check continuity remove one wire off every part you are testing.
Check continuity of the heating element (7.8-11.8 ohm), thermal cut off, hi limit thermostat.
If all of them checks OK - use the manual and run the diagnostic test.

The heater Part number: 8544771
Part number: 8544771


The cut off kit Part number: 280148
Part number: 280148


Post the results.

Simon.

It was the heater part thanks so much for all the help! Just ordered it and it should be here in 2 days unlike damn Sears that charges more and takes forever to get here unless you give them your first born!!!
