Heater plug does not glow and timer dial does not count down, if set at 20 minutes it stays at 20 without moving,
Dryer starts, drum rotates no heat
For model number 76702693-76702
Hello Sam, thank you for writing. This is most likely due to either a faulty Thermal Fuse, part number PS11741460, or Cycling Thermostat, part number PS11741405 for your dryer. You can test the Thermal Fuse with a multi-meter for continuity. It should have a reading of infinity or zero to be working properly. Good luck with your repair!

No heat at any time during the cycle. Timer progresses down to (presumably) zero but does not shut off. At that point very slight manual advance to the timer setting knob suts off the motor andcauses the buzzer to sound.
For model number 110.66702692
Hello James, Thank you for your question. The first parts you will want to check are the thermostats, and the fuse. There are a few thermostats on the unit. They are
Thermal Cut-Off Kit, part number WP3976578, Thermostat, Internal-Bias part number WP3387134, and the Thermostat, High Limit 221 F part number WP3977767. If these are tested by using a multimeter, and are checking out as being good then you will want to check your heating element itself. The fact that the timer doesn't shut off on its own may be a separate issue with the timer itself. Check to see if it will not shut off on its own on ANY cycle, or if its just timed dry, auto dry, ect. If its not shutting down on its own on one cycle, but the rest it work fine, it might be fixed by taking care of the heating issue. I hope this helps!
