I Have Kenmore 300 Electric Dryer. A Few Weeks It Stopped Heating. It Tumbles Fine. I Have Checked Continiuity On Thermal Fuse And It Is Fine, There Is A Cycling Thermostat That Has Four Wires, Two Red Ones And Two Purple Ones. The Red Ones Show Continuity But When I Check With My Tester Two Metal Parts For Purple Wires They Don't Light Up. So I Have Changed It With Another One . It Still Doesn't Heat. I Have Looked At The Heating Element And All Of The Coils Look Fine. When I Check For Continuity There All Of It Lights Up Very Bright And One Of Them Lights Up Very Dim. Would That Be A Problem? Another Thing When I Looked At My Three Prong Plug, One Of The Copper Things Looked Really Grimy And Dark Like It Was Burnt. If That Was A Problem Would My Dryer Work At All? Please Help, I Have Just Fixed Our Furnace But The Dryer Gives Me A Headache! It Just Won't Work Right. It Is Only 2.5 Years Old. And i almost forgot i have checked my circuit breaker box and reset the ones for dryer. it didn't do anything!

hi! i only have a continuity tester but i think i will go on Monday and get the oHM tester as well. my old one i got at the garage sale doesn't seem to work:(

You may want to chech the high limit switch on top of the duct on the heating element. It will have 2 wires on it, it runs but wont heat. Thats usually the problem
