Great video! Thank you! I followed your instructions. No continuity confirmed that my Speed Queen's heating element was the reason it no longer heated. NOTE: I was able to do all continuity tests and replace the heating element by removing only the lower panel, avoiding the hassle of removing the front panel and drum.

Awesome! I'm glad I could help! I typically dissasemble all dryers I get just for cleaning purposes, but it is good to know there is a faster way to do it!

electric dryers need very good airflow, i always check airflow with my airflow checker. while disassembled, i check or replace glides, rollers,tension pulley, belt as its sold as a kit for maybe 15-20 dollars. i love speedqueen but hate this dryer as the sides are floppy and could bend. and yes complete thumbs up for a speed queen commercial top load washer. your exp is obvious and thanks for putting yourself out there in this channel, certainly will help others.

Thanks for the video. I did the continuity tests and heating element, fuse and thermostat are all fine. Not getting any heat from my dryer at all. Any tips on what to do next?

My control panel seems to be causing problems along with these other related symptoms (bad temp sensing, hit or miss clothes either still wet or absurdly hot, gets stuck on 6 minutes and just infinitely drys. )

Seems like multiple contacts in the timer are fused together or burnt out. I would replace the timer

Congratulations on picking up a Speed Queen. Are you keeping it or selling it?

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Thanks! I am leaning towards keeping it. If I had the matching washer, that would make the decision a no-brainer!

It seems overly complex to spend hours completely deconstructing the entire machine...? Can't you tip it up and just check the element?

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Unfortunately, this is the only way to test the heating element

​@DWMASports that's what I did when I change the heating element. Just 2 screws holding it in then you can slip it out
