ADE3LRGS171TW01 Speed Queen Dryer Not Heating

[xman1x]

I have a Speed Queen dryer, model number ADE3LRGS171TW01, that heats for a short amount of time and then stops. If I stop and restart the dryer right away it will not heat at all. I have checked all thermostats and the heating element for continuity. Is there any other part that could be causing this issue? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I would suspect clogged ducts causing the unit to over heat and shut off the heat with the cycling thermostat on the heater duct assembly. A couple ways you can test the theory would be to disconnect the duct from the wall and run a load. If it works clean the ducts. The thermostat would test fine unless you got to it while it was still tripped. Another test I would do is set it to air dry and make sure the heat Turns off. You may have a grounded heating element causing it to over heat.

Thanks for the advice. Tried both of those things with no success.

Absolutely no change when run with the duct removed?? Getting forceful airflow ?

How old is this dryer?  There are several things that can cause what you are saying , if what johntech

 said wasn't the issue the next thing is to make sure you have full power to the dryer
