David September 26, 2011 for Model Number roper electric dryer No heat from dryer. I tested the thermal switch, it isn't open. I checked the heating element, about 9 ohms. Checked voltage at heating element, 120v on both sides. Not sure of what else to check if the element has 120v to it and air flowing, shouldn't it be hot? Thanks for the help, Dave.

Phil W. June 25, 2011 for Model Number DE5910 How many OHMs should the heater element be? Thanks Phil
1 Answer Hello Phil. You should get somewhere in the range of 10 to 12 ohms resistance. Or a closed circuit, and no resistance from each element terminal to chassis ground. Hope this helps! Read More...
Jason June 06, 2011 for Model Number DE7500 How do you replace the heating element, or do you have to replace the whole assembly?
1 Answer Hello Jason. You can replace just the element. You will need to remove the heater from the dryer and disassemble the heater box. Then remove the old element from the heater box and install the new element in the ceramic insulators. Make sure none of the element is touching the housing of the heater box. Reinstall the heater box into the dryer. Hope this helps. Read More...
Mboomtown May 19, 2011 for Model Number LDE4000 I bought a heating element put it on but now the dryer will not cut off when clothes are dry. What part makes the dryer cut off so it will not keep running and burn out the new heating element? Thank you,
1 Answer Hello Mboomtown. You will need to test and see if your getting power to the timer motor. If there is power there, but the motor does not turn the timer, you will need to replace the timer 306483. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. 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...

James L. March 14, 2011 for Model Number de 482 series 07 My drier does not heat. I figure it is either the heating element or the thermostat. Is part AP4036890 the only thermostat required for the heating element? Thanks, Jim
1 Answer Hello Jim. No, there is the high limit WP303396 and the cycle thermostat WPY304475. You can test these and the heater with a multi-meter MA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity. Hope this helps. Read More...
Guest February 24, 2011 I have a maytag dryer de606. Which heater element do I order? 208v or 240v. I am in the United States.
1 Answer If you are in the US, it is likely you have your dryer plugged into a 240V outlet unless you are in some special housing set up. In order to be sure, if you have a voltmeter you could check to see how much voltage is at the outlet. Thanks. Read More...
