I replace heating element and its still not get hot
For model number MEDX655DW1
Hello Robert, Thank you for the question. We suggest testing the high limit thermostat and Thermal Fuse in the Thermal Cut-Off Kit located on the Heater Housing with a multi meter. Set your multimeter to the R X 1 setting. Take each of your meter's probes and touch one to each terminal on the Thermal Fuse. You are testing for continuity, and you should receive a reading of either zero or infinity. At room temperature, testing the thermostat should produce a reading of zero. But if a thermostat is tested when it is heated to its limit, a reading of infinity should be produced. We strongly recommend that you test your thermostat at room temperature. If the test you conduct with your thermostat does not produce these results, then you should replace the component. We hope this helps!
Can the internal drum sensor be checked with multi meter?
W10681051?
All other fusesand sensors have continuity?
For model number WGD7300DW2
Hello Paul, Thank you for your inquiry. This moisture sensor can be tested with a multimeter as well. Ideally, you should get a reading that is significantly above 0. But, if you get a reading that is close to 0 or exactly 0, your moisture sensor might be dead. In this case, you might have to replace it to get the dryer working again. We hope this helps.

Our dryer 5-6 years old, taking multiple cycles to dry recently. When the push button is pushed, there is little bit of grinding noise, not sharp, more deep sound. Your help is appreciated in my choosing the replacement part.
For model number WGD49STBW3
Hello Young, Thank you for contacting us. We would recommend checking the moisture sensor, the moisture sensor control board and the thermal cut off kit. Check the parts for any visible damage, and you can check the thermal cut off kit and board harness with a multimeter. We hope this helps.
