It’s developed a loud squeaky noise when I start it with a new load of wet clothes. The noise usually goes away after several minutes. The clothes do dry within the cycle.

It seems that the dryer is not drying the load completely, I put it back on for a 2nd drying time and they come out dry, could it be the heating element.
For model number MEDC215EW0
PartSelect logo
Hi Mary, thank you for your inquiry. A blocked lint screen could be the reason your dryer is not drying completely. Clean your dryer vents. It could be the heating element also but first, we recommend checking the cycling thermostat, part number PS11741405. We hope this helps.

Dryer motor runs, but no heat
To reach the heating element you only need to open the back cover of the dryer (about 8 nut-head screws). Remember to disconnect the power.

To remove the heating element there are two small nut-head screws. Remove the two electric wires. Then you can pull the heating element away.

You can check the heating element with an ohm-meter or visually inspect it to see if the heating element spiral wire is broken.

Don't hurry to dispose the old element. My model includes a small electric safety part. You'll need to transfer it to the new heating element (that comes without it)..

Good luck.

No Heat
First tried heating element and thermal fuse with no luck. Ordered thermal cutoff and fixed problem. Had I used an ohm meter first I would have determined problem before having ordered heating element and fuse, as both had resistance. I wast just lazy and ordered the took the most common failed components first before taking dryer back off.
