How do I know if the heater coil is bad? I replaced the thermal limiter still not heating.
For model number FDE546RES1
Hi Joyce, thank you for reaching out. Based on our research, you may need to follow these instructions to check the continuity of the heating element, part number PS418120. Set the multimeter to the lowest ohms of resistance. Touch the probes together and set the dial to the lowest ohms of resistance. To test the continuity, take a probe from the multimeter and touch it to one terminal. Touch the second probe to the remaining terminal. If the element has continuity, the multimeter will read anywhere from 0 to 50 Ohms. If there is no reading on the multimeter or minor change, then there is no continuity and you may need to replace the heating element. We hope this information helps!
We followed the instructions for the drum glide replacement and changed the belt and drum support bearing piece, cleaned it out too. Works like a charm. Thanks for saving us a bundle.
I looked in my appliance paperwork, found the model number, keyed it in, located and ordered the knob. It arrived in a few days and voila, pushed new knob on and dryer is back in great working order. Thanks!
