location of dryer parts

Hello and tks so much for this site. I am having dryer problems, no heat. I have read all the other thread's and no what to look for and what not to look for. I just dont know where to look, I removed the back of my dryer and found the heating coils, they looked to be in order. but did not turn red, not getting hot. Would you please tell me, where to find all the other items, that had been metioned. please any response would be appreciated. tks

 

RUNS BUT NO HEAT.... 1ST THING TO CHECK IS THERE 220 GOING TO THE MACHINE... THEN UNPLUG UNIT... CHECK HEATER FOR CONTINUITY AND AT THE TOP OF THE HEATER BOX IS A THERMAL FUSE... CHECK THAT ALSO FOR CONTINUITY...

 

Tks very much Bambiblaster, for replying. Where would the fuses be located at, same place as the heater coil, just above it, my machine is a roper, res76648k02 dwjr-elec-2406028-fm54. I have taken off the top and there was a wiring diaprahm for elec, but i cant make cents out of it. I cant find my paper work that came with it. tks again

Additional Suggestions:
Read the manufacturers online web site for product information, problem possibilities, causes, solving methods, part locations, disassembly, reassembly methods, repair procedures, pictorials, schematics, downloadable repair and or owners manuals which may be available online.

Retail appliance parts dealers can also help determine what the most likely possible problem may be. They will need the make, model and serial numbers. Appliance parts dealers are an excellent source for original replacement parts and problem resolving matters. Dealers are listed in the phone book under appliances.

Be sure the electrical power to the appliance is turned off, before attempting any repairs.

DRYER SERVICE TIP:
It's always adviseable to clean the entire exhaust venting system every 2 years. Or during any dryer maintenance, connection, servicing and or repairs.

 

[B]thanks for the listings , I am working on getting a test meter, again you have been very helpful, have a great day!!!!

 

Ok I bought a multimeter, checked all my connection. I have power going to and from all connections. What next, is it that my heater coil is bad, I find it hard to believe that it would burn out in a lil less than a year old, please someone give me a reply. (fustrated as all get out) but dont have the money for a real repairman.

 

Hello, to whom ever is out there. I bought the meter and checked all connections, they have power to them, so would you say that now its the heater coil, I cant believe it would go bad in a little over a year. plase some advice, thanks Ashely

 

On the heater box (long tube holding heater) at the top should be a thermal fuse... remove 1 wire and check it for continuiy... if good... remoe 1 wire from heater and check it also...

 

Hi there and tks for all your help. I bought a multi-tester and call a guy at a repair shop , he walked me thru all the testing, come to find out it was all just my breaker, it was only sending 110 to the socket, instead of 220, because the breaker was sitting uneven, therefore, not making a good connection. I switched it back and forth, and guess what, I now have a non-broken dryer, thanks for all your and this is the best site, I have seen, and informative.
have a great day!!!! ashleyrivergal
