Replacement parts for MAYTAG PYE3360AYW Dryer - Ele | AppliancePartsPros.com

Need more info on what type of help you need.

If it is just how to use the multimeter there is a good STICKY at the start of this forum.
Also
A couple things to watch when measuring ohms and continuity
1. Always remove power from the machine otherwise you could blow your meter.
2. Always disconnect at least one side of any device you are checking. This eliminates the possibility of measuring an alternate/parallel circuit path.
3. When checking for closed contacts and continuity use the lowest scale (Usually 200 ohms). Then try higher scales. This scale is 0 to 200 ohms so if the device you are measuring is 300 ohms this scale would show an open circuit which it is not, you are just measuring outside the scale's dynamic range.
