You answered for Fred re door switch and actuator kit, part number PS334284 Everything begins as expected - setting heat, time etc. Push and hold Start, system clicks, "Sensing" light comes on, motor/drum doesnt turn. Manually depressed door switch, light turns off - still wont run. Checked belt, reset breaker. Can actuator be checked for electrical power w/multimeter? How can we tell if door switch, actuator is faulty?

Not getting heat. Reset breaker. No heat. Tested for 240v ac at element leads while on and running. No voltage. Ohm test element 10.0ohms. Thermostat test 0.1 ohm. Thermal fuse there's just a 1 on the left. I'm thinking that's the problem but not 100% sure. You think it's the thermal fuse?

Hello Dan, Thank you for the question. You should receive a reading of 0. Resistance that is low, or near 0, means that the electrical flow is good and the part does not need to be replaced. There are a few thermostats to tests, so we are not sure what Thermostat you have tested but we suggest testing them all. We hope this helps.

The control lock light is on. I unplugged it thinking that might reset the controls. Plugged it back in and the control locked light is still on.

Burned out heater element
Remove the kick plate from the bottom of the dryer by sliding a putty knife along the top edge to release the plastic clamps, one on each side about 4" in from the edges. The kick plate folds out and down. You will see the heat shield on the right, held in by one hex head screw. Remove screw and heat shield. The element is positioned in an open-front housing and is fastened to the left side of the housing by two hex head screws, located on the "rail" of the element and right near the two wires. Remove the hex-head screws that hold the element in place and disconnected the two wires by pulling them out by hand or with needle nose pliers. The only difficulty here is the cramped working area...I recommend a stubby socket driver for these two screws. Most of this I had to do by feel because I could not see the screw heads. Once the screws are out and the wires have been disconnected, slide the old element straight out toward you. You may need to disconnect a small plastic hose located to the left front of the element, but this hose just pulls right off. Vacume the dust & lint build-up out of the whole area, wipe out the element housing and clean up the whole underside of the dryer prior to installing the new element. Installation is reverse of removal. It also might be a good opportunity to clean out your exhaust duct and the vent to the outside. (Never use the aluminum foil-accordian-type duct.) If the exterior dryer vent has any kind of screen over it, remove it and get rid of it. Screens collect lint, lint builds up and burns out elements.

catch mounted on door broke
The door had always opened with the wrong swing and it wasn't til I needed to repair this that I noticed you could change the swing. I changed the swing of the door and then noticed that the clip was included on both sides so i did not need to repair the catch. I still have the part so when it breaks again, I can just pop it in.
