Hello,
My Kenmore electric dryer stopped heating so I did some homework and opened up the back. The thermal fuse, thermostat, and heating element all had continuity but the cutoff did not. I ordered and replaced the cutoff and the thermostat (for good measure) and it started heating up just fine. I ran it a few times for about five minutes and got a shirt nice and warm each time.
Last night my wife tried running her first load and it is no longer heating. I figured the ducting must be clogged and the cutoff went again. The ducting is clean so I opened it up and everything still tests fine with my meter, including the cutoff I replaced. I am at a loss now since it was working fine and now it’s failing again, even though everything has continuity.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
