How do i test this part to ensure it has failed
For model number YWED80HEBW0
Hello Gerald, thank you for your question. Testing a thermostat is easy! Set your multimeter to the R X 1 setting. Take each of your meter's probes and touch one to each terminal. 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. I hope this helps!

On my dryer, 1 of the 2 wires that plug into my heating element keeps melting at the connection. What would cause this to happen? I checked the continuity of the element and it is good. I have replaced the thermostat and the thermal fuse. The thermal fuse blew after drying one load. Not sure what to check next and why the wire is melting at the connection.
For model number Wed9500tw2
Hi Chad, Thank you for the question. I suggest checking the exhaust pipes and lint ducks to make sure they are not blocked. Lint and moisture can block them over time and cause over heating of the element. Hope this helps!

Dryer stopped heating
We have a very early model of the He3. We had to follow directions for the He2 model to replace the heater element and thermostat. Access is easy through the front panel, but removing and replacing the element required some force and maneuvering in a small area.

We replaced both the element and the thermostat since we had the entire part disconnected and removed. So far working great!
