Justin for Model Number DLE4870W My dryer won't heat. I've tested the safety and high limit thermostat and they both show continuity below 1 Ohm of resistance. I tested the heating element and refereed to the Tech Sheet for guidance. Between prongs 1 and 2 it shows 20 Ohms (supposed to be between 18-22). Between prongs 1 and 3 it shows 21 Ohms (supposed to be between 18-22). Between prongs 2 and 3 it shows 44 ohms and it is supposed to be between 9-11 ohms of resistance here. Due to the high ohms of resistance between prongs 2 and 3 it says to replace the heating element. Does that seem correct? Most of what I've read online is if it's below 50 ohms it should work fine. I have checked the voltage to the dryer and I am getting 120/240, so that shouldn't be the issue. Ducts are clean. Thanks!
Answer Justin, Based on the tech sheet saying if it is at 44 ohms then it would be best to replace the heating element. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, June 2, 2017
