The dryer does not heat. What part do i need
For model number GTD42EASJ0WW
Hi Kelly,
Thank you for your question. You are going to have to test some parts to determine what you will need. You will need a multi meter to test all of these parts. First you should test all of your thermostats and your thermal fuses. The ones directly on the heating element and the ones in the blower housing. You should also test your heating element directly as well. If all of those parts are fine you may want to then take a look at you door switch, start switch, and your timer. I hope that helps. Good luck with you repair.
