When I start the dryer the heating element gets hot for about 5 seconds then blows a fuse. The dryer will still cycle, but never get hot again. I replaced the fuses and no luck. When I took the plate off I can see that it is getting hot. There are 5 coils and it appears that the top 3 coils are darker then the bottom 2. Any thoughts?

try checking your ground wires. they may be corroded or loose

I have a similar problem with my Kenmore 70 Series. Did you ever figure out what was wrong with yours? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

it sounds like the heating coils are burned out. Hey this fuse you speak of, where is it located?
