The dryer won't heat. We just changed the heating element but it still won't heat up. What else could be the problem

Check your thermal limiter . It should look like a white bar about a inch long . You can find it on the blower housing

Odds are the Heating element is out. Only repair is to replace it.

check fuse, may need a thermostat,motor switch or a heating element. Check the heating element first. You need a voltage meter to do this. And hopefully the dryer is plugged into 240 electric

First check the heating element for short to frame. If it is not shorted remove the filter chute and clear it out. The control thermostat has 4 wires. 2 small wires come from the timer and power up a small heater inside the control thermostat making it shut down faster for perm press and knit cycles. Over time this bimetal inside the control stat won't shut down fast enough or not at all. If it won't shut down then the element will gl;ow reed and the base 250 stat on the heater chamber will shut down. If it fails to do so then the smaller one up top will trip at 300f. If it fails to trip or the filter chute is clogged the fuse skinny white plastic thing next to the control tstat will met and shut down operation.

You can try the heating elements. First unplug the dryer and you will have to take back panel off. You need a Volt Ohm meter to do a resistance measurement. Place the leading one each end of the elements and the reading should be close to "0". I'm thinking if the dryer is old the heating elements has burned out.

you should have a nominal 240 volts between the 2 heating element connections

are you getting any codes?

hello matt.... the most common cause of no heat is a burned out heating element. Replace it and you should have heat again. Joe

check you thermal fuse for continuity if none change it and the high-imit safety shut-off fuse(closest to heat element)
