    Kenmore HE3 dryer does not heat
    I have a Kenmore Elite HE3 electric dryer model 110.82822101. The dryer runs but will not heat at all with all cycles. I checked the circuit breakers and both are good. I took off the bottom cover on the front but I don't know what to do next, any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I had the same problem. After replacing the thermister, the themal fuse, the high limit thermistat, thermal cut off, and the heater coil (believe me, this is a sore subject), I found out it was simple solution, something that the owner manual tells you to check. It was a bad ciurcuit breaker. Yes, my dryer appeared to work because the motor ran, the machine tumbled. I flipped the cuicuit breaker off and on several times. Little did I know, one of the two 110volt circuit breakers, which are connected together to make 220 volts, went bad. A trip to Home Depot and $8 later, voilą! BUT... somewhere in this painful process it must have burned something out in my cuicuit board. I had to replace it and (this one hurt) it cost me $150 to replace. Hope this helps.
