My dryer stopped producing heat recently. We also noticed shortly before the heat went out that the dryer would randomly turn itself on occasionally. I didn't piece these two things together until recently. Anyway, I've done extensive testing and parts replacement on the dryer, but there is still no heat.

I've performed the following tests:

[LIST=1]
  • Tested voltage at outlet, 240v L1 to L2 OK, 120v L1/2 to Neutral OK
  • Tested voltage at terminals, 240v L1 to L2 OK, 120v L1/2 to Neutral OK
  • All thermostats continuity OK
  • Thermal Fuse continuity OK
  • Heating Element continuity OK
  • Flipped the breaker switch a few times just to be sure
    [/LIST]

    I replaced all thermostats, thermal fuse, the heating element, AND the timer. Still no heat, but the dryer turns on. I'm out of ideas, what else can I check?

    I got the dryer working after flipping all the breakers in our house including the main one. It worked fine for a few weeks. However, the power went out yesterday morning and the same issue came up, no heat from the coil. This time however, flipping all the breakers did not resolve the issue. I am at a loss, please help!
