Rick for Model Number FER311FS0 My electric dryer wasn't heating so I replaced the heating element with a new one because the old one was visually broken. I thought that would have fixed it but (Still no heat) I replaced the high limit thermostat (I think its called anyhow) its located and mounted up above the heating element and now I have VERY limited heat(slightly warm) but nothing NEAR what it should be, theres no obstructions of any sort in the dryer so I know thats not a cause, I know theres correct voltage to the dryer also, what would you suggest next?
Answer Rick, You've pretty much coverred most heater issues. Are you sure you have 240 VAC at the element terminals, when the dryer is heating ? when you re constructed the dryer, are you sure the blower seal and the tumbler seal on the front panel were properly seated and sealing. and did you check to see if there was a clog or lint build up in the air duct, under the filter? Also check and make sure all the connections at the terminal block on the back of the dryer a proper and tight. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, January 8, 2013
