Kenmore dryer will not git hot HEATING ELEMENTS is

Hello, Ok if you have checked the heater, hi-limit, thermal fuse and thermostat and they are all good your problem is going to be with the centrifugal switch. This is built into the motor. To check this pull the wire harness off the motor and where you see the 2 big wires going into the plug make a jumper wire with 2 male spades and some wire. Jump this wires and then run a cycle for a few seconds. if the heater comes on you have found your problem. This will require you replace the motor. Hope this helps. Mike

Most models of electric dryers there are several safeties in place before you get to the element. Power comes from the timer and goes to a snap disc thermal cut out, a thermal fuse, through the element, back through a thermostat and a high limit, and even sometimes going through a centrifugal switch on the motor. This switch will not allow the element to come on unless the motor is running. If any of the components from the timer all the way through the element and back to the original power source are broken, you will have no heat. You can test most of them with a test light or a multimeter on continuity test.

Hope this helps

when you read out the heater and t-stats did you disconnect one of the wires if not it will show continuityalso check the heater again and make sure none of the coils are touching metal casing
