Hello, my kenmore dryer will not heat I have replaced the heating element, hi-lo thermostat, thermal cut off, thermostat, thermal fuse, moisture sensor, and dryer still will not heat. Any suggestions on what to do next?
Check the power.
The heating element needs 240 volts.
Try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times. Sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker.
Check the voltage at the plug
L1 to L2 should be 240 volts
L1 to Neutral and L2 to Neutral, both should be 120 volts.
If OK
Unplug the unit and check the wires at the terminal strip in the machine to make sure none are loose or burned out
If OK
Check the power at the terminal strip.
Do this with the heater off and on.
Be careful as 240 volts is lethal !!!
ok checked all power. One line in the cord was bad so I replaced it all power is good and dryer still will not heat! Could it be the temperature switch, or the control board??? I am ready to throw this dryer out and get a new one!! Any suggestions ??
