Tammy March 04, 2013 for Model Number WED6200SW1 I would like to know what to check on the dryer if it runs but we get no heat. We replaced the thermal fuse but have no heat. We are planning to change the heating element next. What else could it be?
1 Answer Hello Tammy. 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...

1 Answer Hello Baker, You will want to do a continuity check on the thermal fuses, thermostats and the heater. If any of these parts do not have continuity then you will need to replace that part. Read More...

Packer February 11, 2013 for Model Number ler4634pq0 Dryer runs fine but no heat. Removed the heating element and can find no broken, damaged, or off color wires. How do I check the element...and could it just be a fuse? Or should I order both and return the part I don't need? Thx.

Jonathan February 09, 2013 for Model Number LER4634JQ1 Is there a way to tell that the heating element has shorted without using a volt meter?
1 Answer Hello Jonathan, Unless it is something visible where the heating element is touching metal or if it is broken then there is no way to tell it is shorting out without a voltmeter. Read More...
Dave February 08, 2013 for Model Number med5700tq0 What would cause the dryer heating element to stay on when the door is open? The element turns off when the timer shuts off.
1 Answer Hello Dave, You will want to check wiring and heater for a short to ground which would complete circuit. Look for broken or exposed wiring that could touch the cabinet. Read More...

Jj January 30, 2013 for Model Number Ned4800vq1 Hello, amana dryer not heating up.. Before this issue would stop mid cycle. We have checked heating element,thermostat,hi thermostat,cycling thermostat, thermal fuse, vent is good and clear, and breaker box is good. Any suggestions on what to check next, or what could be issue? Thx
1 Answer Hello JJ. You will need to find the dead wire at the heater and trace is back to the bad part. Could be the motor or the timer causing the issue with the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Jim January 18, 2013 for Model Number LEQ9030PQ1 No heat,I have replaced the heating element,the thermal fuse,cycling thermostat and the hi limit thermostat and still no heat,the only thing I haven't replaced is the thermal cut off my Question is if I replace the thermal cut off do I have to also replace the hi limit thermostat that comes with it Thanks P.S.what if it still dont work,vent is all clean
1 Answer Hello Jim. Yes, replace both parts. If the unit still does not work, and there is 240 volts coming to the unit, it is either a bad timer or motor causing the issue. Read More...
