If all of the components are reading ok then you need a timer. Touch your 2 leads together. 0 ohms rght. That means you have a complete circuit.If you get the 0 reading then the element must be otay. Bad timer. Take that fancy meater of yours and atttach one of them leads to the timer leg marked RH. Yank the wire off the terminal beore you test. Move the timer around. You should get the famous 0 reading along the way. If you don't then that means you have the bad timer.

unplug dryer, no take off bottom panel,use a screw driver or putty knife to remove,there are to clips on top of cover around 2 inches from edge,you'll feel them with tool,push in on them and clips will release, take out lint filter and take off blower wheel duct.clean out lint from duct,now on top of the blower wheel housing you'll see the thermal fuse,part number 3390719,take off one of the wires and read it out with meter,if it's bad change it out,if it's good,pull a wire off of heater and check that and read out the t-stats if you want but i would just change out the part that is bad.also vac out the dryer and go outside and make sure air is blowing flapper open,iblow the vent line out with a leaf blower if it's a long run,you won't believe all the stuff that blows out of there,hope this helps you

SOURCE: kenmore elite elec dryer, 110.64972300. runs no heat

Pull one wire off the element and start the dryer in a heat cycle . Check power from that wire to the cabinet . Touch the meter to the terminal you pulled that wire off of , and check that voltage . You cannot get correct voltage by checking across the element . Trace the wire NOT getting 120 volts . It will either go to the timer or motor . It will lead you to the problem .

Kenmore Dryer Model 110.60932990 - New Fuse but no heat

First rule of repair, diagnose before purchasing. :>)

The thermal fuse, door switch, element and on-off button can all be tested with an $8 test meter. It is just a matter of checking continuity with the meter set to Ohms..

Disconnect the connections to the element and check continuity. No continuity = failed element. you can also visually inspect for a break.

You need to test your element with an ohmeter. If its good , check your thermal fuse. If thermal fuse is open , replace thermal fuse and hi-temp thermostat

you need to check all the thermal fuses that are near the heating element if there is one that has no continuity then it needs to be replaced.also check and make sure the correct amount of power at the terminal block if there is not 220 volts at the terminal block the unit can work but not get hot..will look for comments a model number will be helpful.

My kenmore dryer model 86873100 will not heat

gas or electric? if it runs, check the heating element for a break. make sure the dryer venting is cleaned or the safety on the heater element will shut off the heat to prevent a fire. you may also need a thermal cut out kit which is mounted on the heater assembly.

No heat in dryer model # 96591420

Check the following to address this issue.




1. No power to the dryer
Make sure there's power getting to the dryer. Check for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses. An electric dryer uses two circuit breakers or fuses, and if only one of two is tripped or blown, the dryer might still run but not heat. Sometimes the power cord disconnects or burns at the dryer, if this is the case, the wiring and the terminal block must be repaired or replaced.

2. Heating element
A burned out heating element will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Replace the element if found defective.

3. Thermal fuse
Most dryers have a thermal fuse, which burns out when the dryer overheats, in which case the dryer will either not run at all or stop heating. The fuse is usually located on the vent duct, inside the dryer. A blown fuse will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Before replacing the fuse, make sure the blower wheel is not broken or clogged, and there is nothing blocking the venting.

Dryer don't blow hot air, everything else runs ok.

you need to check the heating element and the thermal fuse to see if they are blown.
