It’s fun to win! Took bottom panel off start dryer see heating element come on but goes off after30 seconds or so, has strong air flow through vent. I don’t have enough information to give a definitive answer. Hi, Jim. I checked the the circuit breaker and it is not blown. If the exhaust air is not exiting the dryer vigorously, the problem is inside the dryer. You will save time, energy, and money if you will take a few moments to prove exactly which part is bad before purchasing a replacement part. I have replaced everything, the high limit switch thermostat the heating element the fuse the sensor that goes with the high limit switch I have tested and made sure I have 220 coming in and still it won’t heat. You should see a metal bolt or nut holding the entire agitator housing in place. I have a mystery for you. I would heck the airflow after the dryer has been running for awhile. That was it. Timer, tumbling, all work. The hose wasnt plugged in so cant be clogged. Whirlpool makes dryers for Kenmore, Sears, Estate, Roper, and KitchenAid. The heating element looks good, has continuity and no apparent shorts. Can you give me what you think it is that is causing the heating issue? If the component is good, the voltage will read “zero.” When the voltage across the component reads “220 volts” you have located the bad component. I have a frigidaire dryer model# 7348-80C. I am out of solution and want to fix this on my own before I would have to pay someone to come check it out. When the igniter comes on and stays on, it is usually the flame switch. Whirlpool dryers have one or more fuses and safety thermostats that cut power to the heater when there is insufficient airflow. It never blew when the mouse was stuck. With the dryer running I would place a multimeter lead on the terminals going into and coming out of a component in the circuit such as a thermostat, fuse, heater, or centrifugal switch on the motor. It will still run but stop heating. If the blower wheel turns on the shaft then it is bad and will not turn fast enough to move sufficient air through the dryer.

If a dryer is making a loud sound as the burner lights and then turns off after a short time, the air flow could be the cause. Your are right. The air flow should be vigorous. The guys replaced it last night (I let the technician hook it up this time) and got the exact same results (no drum turning, no heat, just timer runs). Are these heating elements prone to fail. Or is it possible something else was missed. Yes, the board failure on you Whirlpool dryer may be related to the current “no heat” symptom. Any suggestions? You can test for continuity with a multimeter or you can take the switch to the U-FIX-IT store nearest you for free testing. A surge can cause one breaker to open without tripping the other. Gas dryers have 110v cords. A failure of a thermostat or fuse can cause the same symptom of “turning but not heating” that a failed heating element does. My dryer was turning, but not heating, so I followed your advice and checked the breaker box first. could it be the selector switch. If the lint screen is clean and air flow is poor, then I would inspect the blower wheel for damage or wear. I have an Amana dryer. I’m completely stumped as to what else it could be. It is unlikely that your motor is going bad. I tested the thermal fuse and it was bad so I replaced it along with thoroughly cleaned out the lint from underneath the dryer and hoses. I test for voltage using the wiring diagram as my road map through the circuit while the dryer is running. I hope you can help me! I get 120 volts if I put the red terminal on the coil and the black one to ground. When water flows through the lint screen, it is clean. This link gives more detailed steps for Whirlpool electric dryers. If you have questions about gaining access to the belt call the U-FIX-IT store nearest you for help.
