Checked all sensors, fuse and heating elements for continuity and they are fine. Are other other sensors or fuses inside the motor or drum housing I should look for?
Replaced heating element last year.

None. The element could have continuity and still be bad. You should have a reading of 9-13 ohms on most, this would be the likely problem.

Replaced heating element last year. Based on your information, NO, there's nothing else to check except : 220 Volts AC at the terminal block. 220 Volts across the heater element terminals. The timer heat circuit. (with the wires off and the timer set in a timed dry regular heat setting, you should be able to read a closed circuit across the Black and Red terminals on the timer.) Or a burnt , broken wire in the harness. *** Be CAREFUL on the VOLTAGE tests, Don't hurt yourself. *** Good Luck, :cool: :cool: :cool:

Yes I disconnected all wires before I tested for continuity. Are there any heat sensors in the blower fan assembly I need take apart to check? Is it possible the heat control on the front panel went bad. I tried setting it to a lower heat setting with no results.

Yes the operating thermostat is mounted on the outside of the blower (Item 8 in Section 3)

Unlikely as all it controls is an heater built into the operating thermostat.
If it was an open you would be on high heat all the time.
Have you reset/checked the power to the unit? |

How do I reset power to the unit? Do you mean the 220 volt plug?

Try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times. Sometimes you can loose halt the line voltage without actually tripping the breaker.
If that does nothing either check the power with a meter or get someone in to do it.
If you have an old house that uses fuses in the electrical box check that both fuses are OK. |

Okay I'll try that and check the voltage at the plug. The dryer runs but just no heat. Are there any sensors in the motor housing that would require me to take it out and remove the fan to check?
