Chuck for Model Number WED5000VQ1 The dryer will heat sometimes and other it want. I checked the heating element and it ohms out good. I changed the thermostat and high heat sensor to new. Is there something in the selector switch that could be causing a signal not to get to the heating element? Please tell me anything else I can check to make sure the heating element is getting voltage. I did check the vent and it is clear. When I do spin the selector switch sometimes it will heat, other times it want. Thanks for your help!
Answer Hello Chuck. 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...
