Robert D for Model Number ler8620pgo I replaced the heating element thanks to your excellent video. The old unit did heat but would not dry as it once did. the old unit coils were black, but didn't appear to be shorted. How many ohms should I read across the coil?
Answer Hello Robert. The heater should read closed for continuity If it does not dry like it use to, It sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly.
