Afternoon, boyos. Dryer saga here is complete. Got the new one in, and it still didn't work. Ran, but no heat. Took us a while to track down the faulty fuse that was actually the cause of the whole issue.
Oh well, old one was 16 years old anyways, so it served us well, even if it wasn't quite done yet. Lol
Wait...your dryer has a separate electrical connection for the motor and the heating assembly?
It runs to a small box off the main box, with 2-30 amp fuses. One of them clearly blew out, and when I replaced it, the dryer ran again, but with no heat. I assumed the fuse blowing blew out the heating element
So short answer, yes, and I had no idea they both had to be good to run both the dryer and the heating. So I guess I learned something new today.
