I have an Estate by Whirlpool - model # TEDS740JQ1

the dryer will not heat. I checked the exhaust, replaced the power cord, the heat element, the thermal fuse, and the therostat on the heat element. I may have been jumping the gun a little, but now I just learned that I could test using a meter.

Also, the timer is not moving, which I learned could be a cause of the dryer not heating. Is this true? I probably wasted money on other parts when I didn't have to and should of realized I need to replace the timer.

Should I buy a meter and test the timer? If it is not moving, what are the causes?

Thank you

dryer tumbling and i've checked all limits ,fuses and resisters are within specs.having problems with timer shutting off.

Hi,

Testing with a volt/ohm meter is best way to check what parts are good and which are bad.

I will give you both a link about what to test and check on dryers:
