Looking at another parts display, I see that this dryer also has a cycling thermostat buried near the motor/blower assembly. I plan to check that for continuity tonight as long as I can get to it. How difficult will it be to put my probes on this part? If it is defective, how difficult is it to replace?

Thanks for responding. The dryer is actually from my daughter's house and I moved it over to my garage so I could take it apart without worry that my 2 year old grandson would get curious. I have no 220V in my garage so I cannot check the voltage input to the dryer.

I did measure the continuity of the cycling thermostat and found the wide terminals ok but the narrow terminals were not. I strongly suspect this thermostat is the problem and plan to check if my local appliance store has the part. If not, I will order online.

I checked continuity on all parts by removing both connections and putting the probes directly on the contacts. I did the same for the cycling thermostat, checking the wide terminals 1st and the narrow ones 2nd.

I checked the outlet and it delivers 240V. I checked continuity of the power cord by touching one probe to one of the three posts and then touching one of the inputs on the terminal block. Only one input showed continuity and the other two did not. I checked the other posts the same way and in the end, all three show continuity to the respective input on the terminal block, so I believe the power cord is okay.

I also checked continuity on the terminal block for L1, N and L2. I checked these in the same way as above, measuring between the posts on the power cord and L1, N or L2. For all three contacts (L1, N, L2) I could find a post that gave 0 ohms resistance. This is the same post that gave 0 ohms resistance when measured across the imputs.

However, I'm concerned because I did purchase a new cycling thermostat and checked it for continuity the same way I did the old one - with the same result. I get a reading between the wide posts but not for the narrow posts. I would have expected to see resistance between both of the post sets.

Before I reassemble the dryer and take it to my daughter's house to see if now works, what else can I check?

Well hello everyone, I finally put the dryer back into my daughter's house and verified that there is 230V coming into the terminal block. But after turning the unit on, there is still no heat. What are my next steps? I'm getting very frustrated.

yes, it is on the back of the unit.
