I saw a couple of posts that might help but wanted to ask for help specific to this model before attempting repairs. Fuses at the panel are fine. Thank you in advance. jb.

Then you have a thermal fuse on top of the heater housing above the element. Take 1 wire off, and ohm it out, again if you get a reading it is good, if not it is bad. If you need me you can reach me at my website at ApplianceEducator.com Tom
