Janice for Model Number WED4815EW1

This dryer has been heating even on the air fluff setting. I checked the element and it isn't grounded. I even went so far as to put a new element on it and the same thing happens. I checked the cycling thermostat and it checks out okay with 6.9K ohms at room temperature. I changed the timer assuming that was the problem and it still heats constantly. I've had to change out a couple of thermal fuses to keep it running. I've double-checked the voltage at the outlet and am getting 240VAC. None of the wiring appears to be bad (burnt, bare, etc.). What am I missing?

Answer

Janice, with the power cord unplugged, the timer would need to be set to air fluff and tested from terminal A to terminal B for continuity. If there is not continuity, the timer is working and the next step would be verifying that the wiring is correct in accordance with the wiring diagram of your model.
