Hi.
Could you, please describe the problem more clearly?
Simon.
the motor on my dryer will not spin when i turn it on but the heating element heats up. the heating element won’t shut off unless i unplug the dryer or turn the timer off, the door switch won’t turn it off
Hi.
Most likely you’ve got two problems there.
One-the thermal fuse is open.
Two-the heating element is grounded.
Unplug the dryer, remove the back, take both wires off the heater and using the multimeter check each heater’s contact to the cabinet. If there is continuity - replace the heater.
The thermal fuse 3392519
The heating element 279838
