Dryer Wont Tumble Or Heat

I Can Hear The Timer Going And I Tested The Outlet And It Reads Good, I Tested The Safty Thermo Above The Coil And It Read Infini The Resistor Has 2 Fine Cracks In It.

Please Help

Can you please provide your model number?

Check the thermal fuse on the blower housing.

If the fuse is open check the vent for a blockage.

Matt, there is a thermal fuse, just to the right of the element. Follow the 2 white wires down the right side of the element, and that will lead to the problem. The part # is LA1053. Also, take the front off the dryer. If you already tested the saftey thermostat, then you know how to pop up the top. Take the 2 screws that hold in the front panel, and pull towards you, and then take the wires off the door switch and remove the front. Now look down, on the front down on the bottom, and clean all that lint out from the blower housing. Put it all back together, and you have it. If you need me you can reach me at my web site at ApplianceEducator.com

All thermostats/thermal fuse should read 0 ohms at room temperature not infinity.

Make sure to unplug the unit also remove the wires from one side of the device you are measuring to ensure you are not measuring an alternate (parallel) circuit path.
