Our Estate dryer ran fine for 2-3 loads for my wife earlier today. Then the dryer stopped heating up. On timed dry, the timer counts down. But, on auto sense, the dryer will run forever. Under the trouble shooting section of our manual it asks if a fuse has blown or a circuit breaker tripped. The dryer is hooked up to a double breaker 30 amps. It doesn’t look like it’s tripped. I’m not experienced with working on Dryers, but I am comfortable working on appliances in general. Please help!!!

Check that the heating element is OK.
Easiest way is to unplug the unit, remove the wire from one side of the heater and measure it with a meter. Should be around 10 ohms.
This unit uses a 240 volt timer so your power should be OK.
It is hooked directly across the line in timed dry.
In Auto modes the timer gets power through the heating coil when the coil is turned off by a thermostat.
That is why I would check the heater first.
Thanks so much for your super fast response! I’ll check it out and let you know. Have a great day!!
