    • Appliantology Live Dojo, Saturday, 4/27/2024 @10 AM ET
      27 April 2024 02:00 PM Until 03:00 PM
      5  
      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:
      Click here to go to the forum topic with the registration link. If you're interested, register now. Arrive a couple minutes early to make sure your connection is working. Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

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.

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
