I know nothing about testing 240 volts. I did however ohm out the white thermal fuse and the thermistor mounted right next to it. Both checked good. I have now replaced the heating element, both of the thermal switches located on the heating element housing and checked the thermal fuse and thermistor and still no heat. Buying a new dryer is really not an option right now but I am starting to feel like I'm just throwing money at this one and getting no where.

Since you are uncomfortable checking for 240 perhaps you have a friend who has electrical experience.

Bought a new GE, plugged it in and it works like a champ. Anyone have any use for a few "BRAND NEW" parts for the Kenmore? I sure hate to just throw them away with the old dryer
