Michael for Model Number LER6620PQ1 Can bad timer burn out a heating element, my timer stops working on the cool down cycle and the dryer will continue to run. Didnt notice this till the other day and that's when I found that it wont heat up anymore. Ive checked all the usual suspects and found the heating element reading to be open. Thanks for the time
Answer Hello Michael. Usually the timer does not cause the element to go out on a unit. You need to replace the element 279838, then see if the timer advances like it should. If so, the element was just bad and burnt out. If not, test for power to the timer motor. If there is power there and the timer does not advance, you will need to replace the timer WP8299778 on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
