Default Dryer not drying - Cycling themostat question
Brand: KitchenAid
Model Number: KEYS750LQ
Age: 1 - 4 years

Hi, I am having a problem with my Kitchenaid dryer. It tumbles but no heat. Checked vents and for excess lint. I get 0 OHM's on the thermal fuse, thermal cutout and the high limit thermostat so they check out good. My question is on the cycling thermostat. It is four prong, and I get 0 OHM on the outer prongs (where the red wires connect. On the inner prongs I get about 8 OHM's of resistance. Is this normal or is the thermostat no good.?

If this is not the problem and other advice on what to check?

Thanks for your help.
