Answer Hello John. To check this thermostat, you will need to test it for ohms. It should read between 5600-8400 ohms depending on the temperature of the dryer. If it is within this range, it is good. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DM1. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
