Answer

Hello Wayne. Did you check and make sure the unit has 240 volts coming to it at the terminal block? If so, you will need to trace at the heater and see where your loosing voltage at. You could have a bad timer WP37001251 or motor WP2200376 on the dryer. Unplug the wires from the heater and see which one has 120 volts and which one does not. Trace the wire that does not have power and see where you are loosing it from. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. 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
