Kenmore 110 series drum won't turn

Dryer Repair

My Kenmore Dryer won’t turn the drum. When I select a program and then hit ‘start’ the machine acts normally and the expected time & temperature are displayed but there is no movement or sound coming from the dryer. Here is a breakdown of what I have done so far:

  1. With the unit plugged in, I ran the diagnostics. The results were as expected in the service manual. The belt is fine, the connection through to the motor is fine, the idler-pulley appears to be fine and everything looks functional.
  2. Tested continuity in the fuses. All of the fuses tested ok. One did not give a continuity result, it was the two prong piece on the blower assembly that is not the motor fuse (perhaps a cycling thermostat). The motor fuse tested fine. Could this be the problem? Can I short the connection to test if it will work?

The part that is not giving a continuity reading is p/n 3976615 therm-o-disc.

Thanks!

When I look up on AppliancePartsPros the part number you listed it comes up as the thermistor AP3919451 (1/3 down first page). You should not short it. It should be about 10,000 ohms.

Here is the tech sheet, see the attachment.
