dryer would run but no heat
first had to troubleshoot... used multimeter to check all switches, they were good.
then checked thermostats, good again.
then checked motor centrifugal switch.. good.
with multimeter i found continuity between heating coil leads and heater housing. coil had broken and welded itself to housing.
... Read more changed coil in short time with restring kit (which got here amazingly fast) and everything is great.
ps: PartsSelect got me the part super fast and it was what i needed. also at a great price. would order from them again.
added note: if i were to do this again i would order the porcelain insulators that insulate the leads to the coils, they were old and very fragile and i experienced some fragmentation.

Dryer had no heat
Open the door. Remove torx screws just above the door. This allows the top to fold up toward the back.
Remove 2 screws with nutdriver just inside the top on each side. Then loosen 2 screws with nutdriver at the front near the bottom. The front can be lifted up and swung around to the right to get it out of the way. Optional: Di ... Read more sconnect the wires to get it completely out of the way.
From the back of the dryer bend the spring-loaded bar that holds a pulley to the belt just enough to release the belt.
From the front pull out the drum forward and out of the dryer. The belt will come with it.
Now you can see the inner and outer heater coil elements. Both of mine were clearly broken. At this point follow the directions in the replacement kit.
Reinstall in reverse order.
