Ashley for Model Number WED5300SQ0 We just bought this dryer from a couple and as we start it, the drum rotates but it does not get hot. I did notice though that the timer is not working either. Please help me I am not sure what to do.
Answer Hello Ashely. 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 279838 and thermal fuses 279816 and see if they are good. If the dryer does not heat, the timer will not advance. 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. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
