      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological: bidness, customers, tools, troubleshooting, flavorite brewski, whatever. Webcams and microphones are open and live!
      This workshop is also a great time for any students at Master Samurai Tech to bring any and all questions about the coursework. We're happy to walk through any concepts you're having trouble with. Think of it like office hours with your teachers. 
      If you have a specific appliance problem you'd like us to talk about, post it here! We need a problem statement and a PDF of the tech sheet or schematic so we can all see it on screen share. If you have a PDF that isn't already in the File library here at Appliantology, send it to us by attaching it to the contact form. 
      Also, follow this Calendar Event so you'll get notified of new posts here. Look for the "Follow" button either at the top of the topic on desktop or below the topic on mobile.

Whirlpool Dryer GEW9868KQ3 - dryer turns but no heat.  Sensor stays on "Sensing" for 10 minutes +/- and then machine shuts off.  Lint screen inside and out cleaned.

Next step?

I would check continuity of the thermal cutoff, thermostat and heater behind the back panel. Unplug the unit first.

Also, half of the breaker can trip on 240V supply circuits, so the very first step on an electric dryer, for me, has been to reset the circuit breaker even if it doesn't appear tripped- if that has no effect- check the components Sean has suggested above... definitely with the machine unplugged... you only get one mistake with a 240V machine!

After thorough cleaning, tested sensors and had perfect continuity.  Upon further inspection found heater coil burned in 2.
