Scott for Model Number WED9450WW1

My dryer is heating up to much. You take your clothes out and almost burn you to the touch. Everything is cleaned out. I have replaced the thermistor and also the thermal fuse. Still is to hot. I have metered the other two parts attached to the heating element bracket and everything has continuity. The heating element also has continuity, not the full continuity like when you touch your two meter leads together, but somewhat close. I have no idea now, what are your thoughts this time? Thanks

Answer

Scott, Based on this issue, you will want to check the blower wheel to make sure that there is nothing caught in the wheel. Also check the venting again to make sure that there is nothing clogged or causing a restriction in it. You can also disconnect the vent from the unit and run a load of clothes and see if they still come out hot. If they do then the high limit thermostat would most likely be the issue.
