Having a heating issue with my Kenmore stacked dryer. The heating element will not energize; the barrel tumbles but no heat!
I tried flipping the c.b. but no luck. The air coming out of the dryer vent outside is cool not hot.
Has anyone else had this problem?
If you have 240 volt at the Dryer, than it is a relay of element issue.
Gary,
Would I check with a volt meter at the outlet where the dryer is plugged into to see if there is 240 volts? Or would I check where the grey electric cord connects to the dryer itself?
What does the relay look like?
I doubt if the dryer is 240 volts but it could be. Ours is a Kenmore and it is on a 120V circuit. Any way to access the inside of the unit to check the heating element for continuity?
Tuga - You are probably going to have to get at the back of the dryer. I have the parts lists, but since it is probably Kenmore that should be available online too. In all my documentation there is not a schematic, but I suspect you will find that on the back panel. Reasonably sure yours is 220vac like mine. My wild guess is the heating element. Good luck and let me know if you need a part number or any documents scanned. Russ '99 Newell
