I thought I had it fixed on Lord's day simply past Tuesday information technology stopped heating again. The frustrating part is that all of the fuses/thermostats show continuity both before I replaced them and later on. I changed the cycling thermostat, thermal fuse, thermal cut off and the high limit themostat. I changed the offset 3 on Sunday before I received the loftier limit thermostat. I thought I fixed it considering it was heating again merely by last dark it had stopped heating again . I and then replaced the loftier limit themostat but still no estrus. Is it possible that the high limit themostat was making the thermal cutting off or ane of the others accident? Once again it'due south hard to know which ones because the all show continuity. Any help will be Greatly APPRECIATED! !!!!

Besides bank check to run into if the heating element has shorted out again the wall of the heating can/chamber. Bank check for continuity from both sides of the heating element and the metal can. Find results and report back to us.

I checked it while it was connected and I took information technology out and checked it. This is why I am wondering if the element or one of the other fuses/thermostats can show continuity while they are cool but lose continuity when information technology gets hot.

Accept you rechecked the thermostats and fuses? No one doesn't cause the other to blow, each thermostat monitors the space where its located.

When you enquire if I've checked confronting the wall of the heating sleeping room, do yous just mean on the within where the wires are? Likewise, afterward pulling it out again I encounter some "burnt marks" on the metallic by the coils...is this a bad sign? My dryer gradually stopped heating, it wasn't all at once. And afterward I inverse the thermal cut off, cycling thermostat, and thermal fuse (on Sunday) information technology worked for a few loads. Could a chemical element going bad do all of this and still testify continuity? I am attaching several pics...delight allow me know if I am doing anything incorrect. Thanks again!!!!

Now equally for checking to see if there is a short, in the 3rd and fifth pictures where you are checking the element, take 1 of the leads and touch the metal case that houses the element while nonetheless belongings the other lead against i of the two chemical element posts. Then do the same for the other other post. If you get a reading then this means your element is touching the metal case. Secondly I notice in the pictures yous are missing the high limit thermostat that should exist next to the element posts. Is that just non installed or is it burnt out? Finally you lot said something that caught my attending, when yous said it gradually stopped heating. Practice you mean that you really noticed the temperature reducing over a period of days / weeks or was it just that it was taking longer and longer to dry your clothes, until one day it wouldn't heat at all?

I did bring all of the parts and multi meter to work with me so I will send y'all a pic of it (which is brand new) and try what you suggested with the element. The dryer started taking longer to dry. At first I thought maybe the washer didn't spin out enough) but and then it would be ok. Information technology was over a menstruum of a couple months that it got worse and so information technology wouldn't oestrus at all. I had cleaned out the vents (inside and out) and cleaned out the inside of the dryer. After that I purchased the multi meter and started testing parts and outlets. They all seem to have continuity and ability to the dryer was practiced. After a couple months I went ahead and started ownership new fuses/thermostats. Lord's day I replaced everything but the high limit and the chemical element. Worked for 2 loads so on Tuesday wouldn't dry again. I replaced the high limit on Tuesday but still no rut. Sorry...I know I'm repeating myself.

No short in the chemical element and information technology has continuity. All of the thermostats, fuses and cutting offs have continuity. Based on that putting information technology back together it should heat up. Having said that lets get over whats happening now. You said Tuesday after replacing the high limit therm you had no oestrus. So I imagine you turned the unit on any high heat cycle and felt the air coming from the exhaust to find it was common cold? Secondly when you say y'all cleaned the vents inside and out does that include the entire run of duct-work from the wall to outside the house likewise every bit the louver on the outside wall or roof wherever information technology exits?
