Leah for Model Number WED5560SQ0 My Whirlpool dryer turns on and runs, but it never gets hot. I checked the fuse and the thermostat, both were working, so I replaced the heating element. The dryer still doesn't heat. What would be my next step? I'm thinking its time to just get a new dryer.
Answer Hello Leah. Check and make sure you have 240 volts coming to the dryer. Check and make sure the unit is not set to Air Fluff. Also check the heater and thermostats and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter MA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity. 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...
