Kenmore 70 series electric dryer...wont heat

[RegUS_PatOff]

not really,

What was the color of the unplugged wire that read 120v ?

[lalakelley]

Both were red

[RegUS_PatOff]

Did he check the resistance of the heater ?
Should read about 12 OHMS

[lalakelley]

Checking now...THANK YOU so much for all your help...is it the top or bottom wire or what color?!

[RegUS_PatOff]

with dryer inplugged, resistance across the heater, should be Red and maybe Orange

[lalakelley]

reads .2...wow am i glad i have men around the house all this technical stuff confuses me

[RegUS_PatOff]

2 is OK, it may be the meter reading a little off...

OK, with the Hi-Limit thermostat disconnected, with the dryer runing, read the voltage at the wires to ground... and what colors ?

[lalakelley]

No not 2 .2.... as in almost 0...they told me to say 0 but i wanted to be specific

[RegUS_PatOff]

The heater should either read 20 OHMS or bad = infinite (open circuit)

The meter may be on the wrong scale...

It can't read 2 or .2, unless he has the meter set at K OHMS

If it was 2 OR .2 it would blow the circuit breaker.

[lalakelley]

To messure the OHMS should they tap it on each side or tap it on one side then go to ground?!

[RegUS_PatOff]

with dryer inplugged, resistance across the heater, should be Red and maybe Orange

[lalakelley]

They said its jumping all around from 1-12

[RegUS_PatOff]

OK, with the Hi-Limit thermostat disconnected, with the dryer runing, read the voltage at the wires to ground... and what colors ?

[lalakelley]

Both voltage on red and pink are 0

[RegUS_PatOff]

Both voltage on red and pink are 0

doesn't seem possible.. one side should probably read 120v...
