Dryer wont turn on,has confirmed 240 volts to terminal block.

how's the White Thermal Fuse on the Blower Assembly ?
(and check your Vent System)

Thermal Fuse # 7

[vunger1]

thermal fuse is good ,start switch(should it complete 120volts to motor?

[RegUS_PatOff]

Neutral, through the Door Switch, through the Start Switch, to the Motor ...

ohmed out main and start windings, thought they were out of range.So i pulled the motor," destroying the blower fan wheel in the process",and on a whim ran 120 volt test cord (should of done this first)and the motor runs fine.Where could i be losing my power .

1)120 volts to red/white wire on start button
2)start button tests good for continuity
3)door switch good for continuity
4)thermal fuse is good


Where should I check next?

[RegUS_PatOff]

no need to disconnect anything ..
Do some voltage tests while trying to run the Dryer...

[vunger1]

1)blue wire at thermal fuse=0 voltage / blue wire coming out of timer= 0 voltage.........bad timer? tests done with motor wiring harness unplugged from motor.

[vunger1]

black /L1 to timer = 0volts and also no amps(haha)
Why does my timer have to be bad?
Why couldn't it have been a bad thermal fuse,then it would cost less to repair and my profit after sale would be better(where more is better).
Just sayin...

[kdog]

black /L1 to timer = 0volts

That's never a good thing, you sure you have proper power supplied ?

Where are you touching the second probe to ground ?

[RegUS_PatOff]

black /L1 to timer = 0volts

bad Line Cord, or no power at Wall Outlet

[vunger1]

oops sorry yes there is 120 volts at black wire to timer

Measure voltage Black to Blue

If you see 120v

[vunger1]

at the push to start button ,when i put 1 test lead on the red/white wire and 1 test lead on the neutral at the terminal block-i get 120v
but when i switch the test lead from red/white to the other side of the start switch(which is black on my dryer)i get 0v(this is with the start button pressed to complete circuit.)

So i disconnect the back wire from the start switch and test to the terminal only and(bada bing bawda boom)120v????????????

are these both with the Start Button pushed ?
bad Door Switch (or wiring)

[vunger1]

the red/white wire is 120v ? Does it matter if the button is pushed when testing this wire?

second test , yes . The button is pushed to complete circuit from red/white to black...or is it from black to red/white?

isnt the start switch just completing the nuetral circuit?

Yes

[vunger1]

I am getting 120v at push start with meter probes hooked 

 1-probe to red/white

 1-probe hooked to black

 

Should i have voltage there?

[RegUS_PatOff]

Should i have voltage there?

yes, if the Start Button isn't being pushed

[vunger1]

what wires should i test for voltage at the motor?
