Answer Phil,
The timer knob part number for your unit is 131860001. For the not heating issue you will want to check the thermal fuse and thermostats to ensure that they are good. If you check them for continuity then you will need to replace the part. Also check the heating element to make sure that it has continuity. You will also want to make sure that the venting is clear from the blower wheel to the outside of your home.

Hi, my dryer was heating up and drying fine, now it will not heat. It takes about 3 cycles to dry clothes. It runs fine and does not shut as some of the other posts I read. The power is definitely 220. do you think the heating element is out?
Thanks

Answer Hello Bill. If it is heating, It sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly.
My dryer heats up but not enough to dry the clothes. Is it the heating element?

My dryer runs but I have no heat?

Answer Hello Christian. Check and make sure you have 240 volts coming to the dryer. Check and make sure the unit is not set to Air Fluff. Also check the heater and thermostats and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter TJMA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
What do I need to replace if my dryer dose not heat up? Everything else works right.
