Jen D for Model Number 417.84152500 Kenmore Dryer - No Heat The dryer turns on, spins, all the lights for the settings light up properly when you press the buttons. All the lint is cleaned out. We just replaced the whole heating element assembly. (For which you have to take the entire dryer apart.) Still no heat! What do you think is the problem? I don't know if I want to take the entire thing apart again!
Answer Jen, the terminal block where the power cord connects will need to be tested for 240VAC from the red wire to the black wire. If there is 240VAC, the next step would be testing the main control 134484214NH (part has been discontinued by the manufacturer) at the heater relay from the red wire to the black wire during a heat cycle. If the voltage shows 240VAC, the main control has failed. If it shows 0VAC, the control is good and the dryer would need to be turned off and unplugged. The black wire of the heater relay can then be tested for continuity to the black wire at the connection J2 pin 3. If there is not continuity, the hi-limit thermostat 3204267 has failed. If there is continuity, it is likely that the motor 131560100 has failed. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, June 30, 2022
