Dryer Repair - How to test the Heating Element

Replacement Element→ amzn.to/2w5oLUi
The heating coils can break and when they do your drier will appear to run perfectly but there will not be no heat at all. That is a great sign that this may be the problem.

Always disconnect one lead from element to get true test result.
Never use washers and screws to repair broken element unless you want bigger problems.

You could test the also test the thermal fuse, and high limit thermostat for continuity before tearing into the heating element. If the fuse and thermostat get good continuity reading then check the heating element leads for continuity and/or check your heating element leads for ohms reading and should be around 10.4 or so depending on type and age...good luck you's guys...!

Hello, mine read 0 ohms. I assume there’s a short somewhere. Any other ideas? Thanks!

You have to disconnect heater from wiring completely to do continuity test. Otherwise you will get false reading.

[@azataliking8302]

You guys are just amazing with these videos. Thank you very much

[@sgalas5773]

What if one of those white pieces are broken?? Would that case the dryer to heat to much and smell like burning?

[@JimWellman]

My dryer is giving just little heat, is that still a heating element problem?

[@paulzemanek6876]

The mod works!

[@yyzonlinevideos]

Great video, thank you! I have discovered that my high limit thermostat is blown so will fix that. On testing also found that my heating element is black from heat but still conducts when tested. Is there any benefit to me installing a new heating element if old one is not blown?

[@irishkevin4307]

Also try not to plug the big conglomerate of a co. that starts with "A" try ordering thru the "little guy" shop nearby or on-line they will appreciate it and hopefully stay in business...!
