Hello, amana dryer not heating up.. Before this issue would stop mid cycle. We have checked heating element,thermostat,hi thermostat,cycling thermostat, thermal fuse, vent is good and clear, and breaker box is good. Any suggestions on what to check next, or what could be issue? Thx

Jj for Model Number Ned4800vq1

Answer Hello JJ. You will need to find the dead wire at the heater and trace is back to the bad part. Could be the motor or the timer causing the issue with the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. 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

Jim for Model Number LEQ9030PQ1

Answer Hello Jim. Yes, replace both parts. If the unit still does not work, and there is 240 volts coming to the unit, it is either a bad timer or motor causing the issue.

I just received AP3094254 and have replaced the heating element in my Whirlpool dryer. It is still not putting out heat at any setting. Help!

Answer Hello Mary, You will want to check the thermal fuses and thermostats on the unit for continuity to make sure that they are good. If not good they would need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

My dryer won't heat at all. I have checked all the fuses on the back and they are getting continuity. How do I know for sure that it is the heating element.

Brett for Model Number LEB6300PW1

Answer Hello Brett. 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. You can test these with a multi-meter TJMA-DM1. It 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

My dryer takes time to dry our clothes but the heater is always on and I was measuring about 21.5 amps from 5400w/240v heater. My vent is clean and I had a good air flow from the duct. Do you think I have problem with my heater?

Ally for Model Number admiral

Answer Hello Ally, If the heater is constantly on then there would not be a problem with the heater. More than likely you would have a problem with the cycling thermostat and/or the high limit thermostat. These thermostats will allow the unit to cycle off and on.

When I use my dryer on High. It get's hot and dries for a while, but then it seem's like it is not staying hot, like it cool's down. Doesn't stay at the same temperature and taking longer to dry than it should . Please can you help me? I'm pretty good on electronic's. Could the element be getting weak?

Raymond Hedge for Model Number WED5100VQO

Answer Hello Raymond, many of the heating problems with dryers are related to restricted or clogged venting. You might check all your venting since you are getting some heat. Here's a link to help you check further. Hope this helps! http://www.appliancepartspros.com/repair-help/dryer-repair-help.html#electric

Ok my dryer is taking for ever to dry. Cleaned out the vents and vent to the outside. All ok, it gets hot inside the dryer but it is taking longer and longer to dry the same amount of items. What would be my next step thanks Sgt Elliott.

Sgt Elliott for Model Number medc400vw0

Answer Hello Sgt Elliott, You may want to pull the cover off the blower assembly and check to make sure that the wheel does not have lint covering it or that the wheel being damaged. If the wheel is damaged where it cannot pull the air properly then it will cause drying issues.
