Re: Help needed with washer dryer

Go further with the testing, check for voltage at the elements if they are accessible, also are you testing the sensors while they are in circuit or did you disconnect the wiring from them first...

Please also bear in mind there may be a resettable overtemp thermostat in the circuit, this will most probably look like a white disc with a red or black button on the top, try pressing it if there is one (make sure to disconnect the power first)

Check the basics, look for burn damage on the timer, make sure if there are any microswitches on the timer, that each of them goes click when you push in the button with a small screwdriver (again, with the power off) and post the resistance readings you are getting from the elements,

lastly, check for resistance from the elements to the body of the dryer, this should be open circuit, if it isn't then it is indicative of a blown element...
