Thomas for Model Number el4030vwo Should there be a short between the two leads when checking this thermostat?
Answer Hello Thomas. 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 MA-DM1. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.
