How To Fix Dryer With No Heat ' Dryer Repair - PartSelect

If the previous element was burnt out, the following test can be done.

First unplug the dryer. then bridge the active and neutral on the plug with a bridging jumper. ( a piece of skinned wire will do ) then set the dryer control on heat (hot or warm) make sure the door is closed ( door switch cuts element as well as motor.) If this is impossible then you may be able to operate the switch by clamping it with something. then disconnect the element wires from the element. You should be able to read continuity across two of the element wires. If you can, then select the other temperature setting (hot to warm ect.) if you can read continuity across the common and the other then the element is faulty if you cant, then check hot temp switch, warm temp, switch belt breaker switch. if it has one.

It doesn't necessarily mean the heating element is busted when an electric dryer stops heating. The heating circuit is not just composed solely by the heating element, it is composed by the thermal cut-off, high-limit thermostat, cycling thermostat, motor centrifugal switch, and the timer. The first thing to look at when an electric dryer stops heating is the thermal cut-off. It cuts power to the heating element when it blows most likely due to the failure of the high-limit thermostat. The thermal cut-off must be replaced, together with the high-limit thermostat, if found open. Click on the link below for the detailed instructions in troubleshooting this problem.

Regarding model LER5644EQ2, here is a link to a parts website complete with an assembly drawing and parts list. In all probability,you have a blown thermal fuse and that will need replacing http://www.pcappliancerepair.com/model-display.php
Item #23 on the drawing .. a quick test would be to ( with power removed or disabled) measure the resistance across the two terminals and it should not be an open circuit or it is blown. The drawing shows exactly where it is and the parts list shows the item number/ cost and where to buy a replacement. Hope this helps..

Regarding model number is YLEQ5000PW1, you may have the same problem with your thermal fuse.. the parts website does not show a detailed darwing of your model but it should be similar to the other one I've cited in the location and thermal fuse.. The link I am sending is for the parts list for your washer and the thermal fuse.. http://www.pcappliancerepair.com/model-display.php

Let me know if that isn't the problem and we can look at other ways to zero in on a solution..
Hope this helps...
Regards...

HI yes it could be a fuse its called a thermal fuse located at back of dryer remove back on the left sede on air duct a fuse with 2 smaller blue wirse that should be your problem thanks THE APPLIANCE DOC
