Bill Green, you probably are seeing a tS error code. It does indeed represent a thermistor problem. Check your vent to make sure it is clear, if that is ok, replace the thermistor, part number WP35001191

Hello Dale, you'll want to test at the heating element for 240v. If you are not showing 240v, you can test to see if you are getting voltage from the board and through the hi limit. If your hi limit and safety thermostat are testing good but show no voltage through them, you'll want to check the motor switch. If no voltage to ground on terminal 2 to ground, replace motor. Thanks!

Hello Raymond. You will need to check the breaker and make sure it is not bad. If not, then the motor WP35001080 will need to be replaced on the unit.

Hello Shawn. You can hook the wires up to the thermal fuse either way. It is a closed circuit.

Raul, You will want to check the thermal fuse for continuity. If there is continuity then the fuse is good and if not then it would need to be replaced. Also check to make sure that all of the thermostats have continuity. If these all check ok then There are 2 components other than the thermostats which would cause the heating element not to work. First is the motor and second the control. The best option is to disconnect the power to the unit and access the heating element. Disconnect one wire that is going to the heating element, preferably the one on the thermostat side. Plug the unit back up and using a multimeter you will want to turn the dryer on and test for 120 vac at the terminal on the heater where the wire was disconnected. What this will do is eliminate the heater element itself and the motor. If there is 120 vac at this point then you know the heater is good and the motor is good because the other 120 vac coming through the thermostats is the timer side of the circuit. If there is not 120 vac at that point then you will want to test the other terminal on the heater and check for 120 vac. If there is not 120 vac then the motor would be bad and if there is 120 vac then the heater would be the issue. If there is 120 vac at each point then the heater is faulty.
