I moved about 3 weeks ago and had to change the plug. (from 4 to 3 wire) One load later it wouldn't heat. I replaced the heating element and thermal fuse and it ran fine. Now, after a couple weeks, it won't start at all. What should I test and how? Also, could there be a problem with the breaker that is causing so many electrical problems with my dryer?
As long as your getting 240 volts at the dryer terminal block, your breakers are fine. I would check the thermal fuse again and if its blown again, you will have to clean out your exhaust vent. If this vent is clogged the thermal fuse will keep blowing. You can try disconnecting the vent from the dryer to see if it blows again if thats the problem.
