Using all the helpful hints I could find on the subject of "Dryer not heating" and checking out all other components it is looking like the centrifugal switch on the motor may be the culprit. Can anyone tell me how to test it? I assume the motor has to be running. Do I take the drum out, remove the belt and let the motor run? I'm assuming that there should be a wire to the heater element that should show voltage only when the motor is running? I'm also guessing that it will only be 120V at the motor. I don't have any diagrams, so if anyone can tell me how to locate the right wire, I will be really grateful. As you can probably see, I'm working at the upper limit of my ability. Unfortunately, I just put a bunch of money in this machine because it is less than 4 yrs old. If I had known that I would have a different problem just a month later ...... well, you all know what I'm saying. Thanks to all. What a great, helpful site!
