GE Ventless Dryer GFT14ESSL0WW will spin but not heat

Thanks, will try to replace these two parts and see. Part # are WE11X26400 and WE04X26348

@gedryerowner

if you have a DMM (digital multimeter) you can use its Ohmmeter function to test if both components have continuity as they should or not.

I don't know what the specific resistance value of the heater element is but they're usually between 50-200 Ohms. The outlet thermostat should test short circuit i.e. 0.00 Ohms and not open circuit i.e. OL or infinite Ohms on meter

Do this with the power disconnected from the dryer and the components disconnected from the wiring harness.

Also according to GE there should be a wiring diagram located inside the control panel which would make fault finding easier.

If there is one and you need more help, post an image of it back here in your "question" above. Here's how on ifixit Adding images to an existing question

@jayeff One last question, should the control board (https://www.geapplianceparts.com/store/p...) be similar to this picture with a green color background? Mine comes with a brown color background. I just hope it is not burnt out for any reason.

@gedryerowner

If it's a uniform brown colour then this is just the colour of the board they used.

It's very common. Circuit boards are either green or brown, depends on the manufacturer what they use.

If it is a brown colour with darker patches then the dark patches may be where components have gotten hot (too hot) due to a fault and this is the reason why the colour looks different at that point i.e. scorched but not black. But it is never all over.

@jayeff I replaced both of these parts (WE11X26400 & WE04X26348). It worked. Thanks for the advice!
