About a year ago the dryer would cycle on and off too quickly for anything to get hot enough to dry clothes. I tested continuity on the fuses and ended up replacing a bad thermostat and a bad hi-limit. Been working fine since.
Today, it stopped heating completely. It runs fine, but the heating coil is stone cold. I opened it up and all of the fuses have continuity, and the heating coil itself shows continuity. Is it possible for the heating coil to show continuity but be bad?
There are no visible shorts in any of the wiring or fuses, and the coil itself looks fine and has no breaks.
The lint trap and ducts are completely clear. The breaker is fine and I'm getting a full 240V at the outlet. I tried running it on all the settings - high heat, low heat, timed dry, more dry, less dry, etc.
The coil just doesn't get hot.
Could it be something in the main panel? What else should I look for?
