Replaced the belt about a month ago (thanks for your diagrams), all was peachy. Then this past weekend, we hear a loud ticking noise, sounds like its coming from the dial. Next day, ticking gone (dial no longer moves during cycle), the drum is still tumbling, but no heat.

sounds like you have the timer set to dry in the automatic cycle, if so the timer will not advance if the dryer isn't heating. Once you have comfirmed that you have 240volts at the recepticle (check your breaker) then it's time to take the front off and lets do some checkin.....post back

Alrighty then , let's get to troubleshootin'! Remove the front panel- 4 screws on the inside of the door opening and pop the front off. Feast your eyes on the heat element canister, bottom right side. remove one side of wiring to this part and test for continuity. If this is open , there's your prob. Next , test all thermostats and thermal fuses for continuity. Same as the element, remove wire from one side of each device to test. If any are open, you have found your problem. Let us know what you find and we'll go from there

Sorry, still tearing it down. Have a question. A friend called who is considerably more electricalogically (as in appliantology) savvy than myself. He has suggested that I also check the volts at the other end of the pigtail (i.e. where it connects to the dryer). Do you agree?

yeah, you can check that as well, you should have 240 from side to side and 120 from each side to the middle terminal

OK, I made my Beer Fund contribution, so I'm allowed to ask stupid questions (plural), right? I'm not sure I'm checking this properly. Here's what I did - 1.) Element Cannister - Black wire connected at bottom left, purple wire connected at bottom right. I disconnected black wire, then touched one probe to the now-bare terminal (not the wire) and the other probe to the other terminal with the purple wire still connected. Reading was 10.9. I did the reverse, reconnected the black, and disconnected the purple, same reading of 10.9. Where are the thermostats and thermal fuses? I see two sensors on top of the heating element. I assumed they are some kind of thermostats or temp gauges? So I checked them also. 2.) Sensor on top left, white sensor with two grey wires connected. I did same as above one wire off, one wire on, reading was 0.4. Reversed, same 0.4. 3.) Sensor on top right, black sensor with two purple wires connected. Same as above. Both readings 0.6.

The stupid question is the one not asked , Murph my man. Anyhoo , your doing great! You have proved the element, high limit and heaterbox thermal fuse are all good. Let's move on to the cycling t-stat located on the blower housing. If this is OK, we'll have to check the motor centrifugal switch and timer contacts. Let us know.

OK, that has four connections (there are actually five wires because the purple is a double). What to do? Disconnect one at a time, one probe on the bare terminal while touching the other probe to just any of the other three?

go to the control panel, remove the cover, remove the 2 big wires off of the timer and read accross those terminals with the timer set in the timed dry mode.

test for 240 volts, one lead at the blue 44 wire on the timer, the other at the black 33 on the element with the dryer running on time dry high heat, all wires hooked up and be very careful. what did you read?

Two big wires removed - meter (digital) stayed at 1, didn't move. Same as with one off and one on.

what are the markings on the 2 "big" wires you took off? Appl . tech is giving you the repairclinic part # for the timer. CLICK HERE to order it, but you should make just a few more checks first.

If that's a link, it ain't linkin'. If that's a part number, I assume it's the timer?
