Hello,
I have a Kenmore 800 series elec. Dryer that's about 2 years old that is has a come and go heating problem. Works at times and then just stops heating for no apparent reason. I have checked the voltage to the upper panel which shows 220 volts and have checked continuity to the heating element, thermostat and another unit which I believe might be a moisture sensor, (not sure on the last one) and all show continuity. (not open) Any ideas on what might be causing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kolohe

One more thing to add. Just metered the heating element leads while the dryer was running with damp clothes in it and got zero volts!
