The dryer starts and runs, but is not heating. Timer works through the time set, so I confirmed continuity on the element (all OK), checked the cycle start thermostat (showed closed when cold - OK), the high limit cut off checks closed when cold (all OK). What sends power to the thermostat, the timer? start button? What do I check next to fix the issue?

Thanx, Ron

Ron ... Check to make sure you have 220 volts at your wall outlet ... If half your breaker tripped the dryer motor will still run on 110 but will not heat the element without 220 ... If you have 220 at the wall check cord terminal for burnt wires.

Thanks Gabe. I do have 220 VAC coming in, and I've checked the cord connections. All OK. Just wondering. There are two wires coming into the cycle t-stat. Which one feeds hot, and where from? Again, Thanx

Maytag Model DE512 has three thermostats, one on the coils, two under the blower at the very bottom of the front. I used an ohm meter to ck all 3 and the coils, it all cked okay...you can ck w/o ohm meter by cking the coils to see if there is a break, or if one of the thermostats is bad. My problem ended up being the cord. It had burnt one of the prongs & that caused the dryer to pull 110V (work) instead of 220V(dry). I replaced the cord...we are working fine. Could not have done it without the info from Gabe and Ron.
