This was very helpful, & my Whirlpool dryer is set up exactly the same as the Kenmore used in this video. My power outlets, thermostats, & timer switch all checked out OK, but my heating element did not. After removing it, I found the break in the heating element. Gave me the confidence to order a new heating element & finish the repair myself. Thank you!

Troy great instructions on replacing element on Kenmore dryer You are clear with great visual in your instruction on repair/replace on the Kenmore Dryer. I have a Kenmore Heavy Dryer "Runs Like a Horse" 35 year old dryer. Replace the heating element in 2005 now I am going to replace the part in 2022. Once the element is in place cleaned and connected to the vent it will be back and drying for another 35 years (maybe) :).

@GigiMoney32 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for this video!! After carefully watching your video a few times, I was able to determine that my dryer needed a new element, ordered it and installed it myself. I'm guessing I saved a good $200+ on a service call. Countless thanks to you for sharing your expert knowledge!

Hi so I replaced the thermostats on both sides the wires are in good condition and I checked every plug for continuity which also was good 👍 and the heating element which is good 👍 I also checked the motherboard and all the plugs had proper flow of continuity 👍 and checked the breaker and power flow but my dryer still won’t heat what else could it be🤦‍♀️

So what do I do if my heating element and thermostat check out okay for continuity?

@smallnuts2 2 жыл бұрын

Would dryer not heat even if you do get continuity but, not checking the oms? Only listening to beep? So oms can be lower than what you need?

Great video... But it doesn't say anything about what you do if you do have continuity on the thermostat and the heater. I found the wiring schematics in the back. He didn't mention to check the non resettable thermal cutoff at the top of the heater duct unit. That also should have continuity on the tabs with at least one wire pulled. If it is open, you won't have power to the heater coils. As it is non-resettable, it will have to be replaced If it's bad, be sure to check your drier vent hose to the outside. It may be full of lint causing the unit to overheat.

What if i use multimeter and the heater core has continuity and the heater fuse? i have an electric kenmore older addition and i wonder if it has a coil? if so where? i only found thermostat

@chriswuzhere91 Жыл бұрын

At 3:32, i check for continuity on mine and there is continuity BUT at 3:36, i do exactly what he does and there's no continuity when touching the heating element.... So I'm assuming it has shorted out. What do i do when it's shorted?

@ammoshortage Жыл бұрын

Okay, I'm dumb. What kind of meter was used and what was it set on to check for continuity?

Hi, I noticed you said a kenmore 80 series electric dryer in the video but it looks identical to my kenmore 600 gas dryer. I have not opened my back panel and checked yet but are they identical in the back since I cannot get to the back unless I move it all the way out which I will once I get all the parts.

It could be your thermal fuse. That is what he didn't check in this video. It's located about a foot about the element with 2 wires going to it and you can see it in the video. That's what went bad on mine. Your best bet would be to check everything again with a multi-meter. It's possible one or both of your new parts could have failed. I would eliminate all possibilities.

@oosswwaalldd 2 жыл бұрын

@packrat76 I think that’s what’s happening to mine, continuity is OK on the heating element and thermostat and the dryer doesn’t heat. What should I check in the thermal fuse? Continuity too? Thanks

Will the nasty dust on the wiring in the back cause the dryer not to heat. I did everything I could so far except put it back together. I’m 71 and in a lot of pain and alone. So I ask you this before I put it together…I hope you can help me…

@MyFiddlePlayer 2 ай бұрын

OK, I did all that and I still don't have heat in my dryer. What is the next step? Could my "new" heating element be bad? How can I check? Or could another part be faulty.

Have a dryer that the element won't heat. When you turn it on plugged in 120v reaches the element fine when you turn the dryer on heat and turn it on. The thermal switches have no resistance when turned off as they should. The element tests good as it has 10 ohm resistance and does not short to ground. There's no apparent physical problem with the element. There's a light blue wire running down towards the motor that seems to have a short to ground but I'm not sure if that's normal being it goes to the motor windings. Seems like I remember that motor wires will show a short to ground. The motor works great. Is there some way that the element could actually be bad anyway? What would be your recommendation to do in this situation? How can the element test good, have 120v going to it, but not heat? Anyone have a clue if the element is bad anyway or is there something else that could cause this? Also, it has 120 volts through both legs.

If that is going out will in work and sometimes and then not? The dryer has proper air flow. Gas dryer 400 series. Maybe a fuse? It does make a clicking noise then will blow cool. Very frustrating....
