My dryer spins but there is no heat. I cleaned out the vent but still wont work. Do I need a new heating element?

Answer Hello David. 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
Dryer drum turns ok empty, but you can't put anything in it or it will stop.

Answer Hello Bobby. Check and make sure the belt 341241 is good on the unit. If so, then it sounds like you will need to replace the motor on the unit.
dryer over heats no matter what heat range selected very, very hot.
Dan for Model Number pye2300ayw
Answer Hi Dan, check for a restricted vent. The vent gets clogged or restricted with lint and will not let air flow causing the dryer to get hotter. If this continues long enough you will eventually trip a thermal fuse which will kill the power to the element and you will have no heat. Here's a link about dryer issues. Hope this helps! http://www.appliancepartspros.com/repair-help/dryer-repair-help.html#electric

Rogelio for Model Number HYE2460AYW
Answer Rogelio, Try this. disconnect the exhaust vent pipe from the back of the dryer, make sure the lint filter is clean, and dry a small load of laundry. If the dryer workd properly, it indicates an issue in the exhaust vent system, and you'll need to check and clean the pipes and hood. Good Luck and Thanks
Hi. Roger again, I ready replaced the swicth. I take the switch in my hand and press and then turn the dryer w/the door open. I see the heat element turn on but when I close the door turn off what you think is the problen? Maybe the safety thermostat or hi-limit thermostat or control thermostat ? Thank You.
Roger for Model Number HYE2460AYW
Answer HI Roger. Not sure of the original Issue. If the dryer is not running and the heater is on with the door open/doors switch presses in with the timer on i a heat mode, then your motor centrifugal switch is bad as it is stuck closed and allowing the heater voltage undesired. You really need to un plug the unit and replace the motor part # W10410996. This is caused by the total vent system is clogged and kinked. Peek at the vent with the unit in the normal position. You only need enough vent to pull the unit out and it still be hooked up. Replace it with rigid flex metal vent and clean the outside vent cap/hood 4-5x per/yr.. It needs to open and close normally as the cap is free. Clean all the lint and make sure the vent system is not sagging and is on a decline -horizontal run towards outside. Thank You.
