Thanks for your help but I had to give up and call a service. They are such simple machines I can't believe I couldn't fix it this time. One time I took it completely apart drum and everything because of terrible noises it was making and found that the flap on the ouside vent had fallen off and a squirrel or a chipmunk was storing nuts in it and they were in the fan.

Just got it fixed. The wiring harness to the motor had slipped off just enough to cause the problem. He just pushed back on all the way and the heat came back on. Had to remove drum for the fix.

FL, Good Deal, You're up and running, and it was just a loose connection, I hope they didn't charge too much, The cost to make a service call is getting outrageous these days. Thanks for the update. Good Luck, :) :) :)

Cost me $156.00 because i had him replace the belt and the idler pully also. It also gave me chance to remove the vanes in the drum and remove all the loose change that has been rattling around for years. Netted $2.20.
After repair man left I put clothes in the dryer and it wouldn't run. Called him back and he turned around and found that the white thermal breaker went bad at that moment which he replaced for free.

FL, Man, What a shame, but, at least he got you running, Sounds like you may have found a responsible, trustworthy service technician. The cost sounds about proper for the cost of service and parts now a days, I think you did alright. Thanks Again, :cool: :cool: :cool:
