Not knowing what the problem was I started looking at the coils and could not see any broken parts.
So then checked the thermal fuse for continuity I removed the two wires from it with a small pair of needle nose pliers, it was held in place by two screws, once they were removed the fuse came out easily, I checked continuity with a volt meter placing the meter on X1 Ohms and could not get a reading.
I replaced with a new one and put it all back together the way I took it apart.
Then I plugged it in and it worked first time, I now have warm dry clothes. Read more...

To remove the heating element there are two small nut-head screws. Remove the two electric wires. Then you can pull the heating element away.
You can check the heating element with an ohm-meter or visually inspect it to see if the heating element spiral wire is broken.
Don't hurry to dispose the old element. My model includes a small electric safety part. You'll need to transfer it to the new heating element (that comes without it)..
Good luck. Read more...

Removed the top cover and front assembly w/door and front drum support, right where the unit was located. Had to gain rear access to loosen drum drive belt so undid the dryer vent hose to floor connection through a front acess hole. Moved the unit out to the breakfast nook as well as disconnecting the power cable from the wall socket. Removed the rear access panel covers and unhooked the drive belt. At the front removed the top screws off the lower cross member to allow spreading of the side covers to allow the removal of the drum. Removed drum and found the bearing bushing gone, reduced to powder.
Using the supplied instuction sheet, replaced the rear bearing assembly, replaced the drum after vacumming the whole interior and started the reassembly of the unit using the new belt and moved the unit back into place. Reconnected the power cable and dryer vent then lastly replaced the lint filter and selector knob. Closed the breaker and turned on the machine, no noise!!!
Incidently I am 78 years old. Thanks PartSelect. Read more...

Common Dryer Problems and How to Fix Them
If you are experiencing problems with your dryer, we are here to help. Troubleshooting these common dryer issues is simple; we will tell you where to start, and what parts you might need to fix your dryer. After these easy DIY repairs your dryer will be as good as new.
Noisy Dryer – There are a lot of moving parts inside your dryer, so it is common for parts to start making loud or unusual noises as they wear down after years of dedicated service. Over time, friction starts to impact parts like the drum glides. The most common dryer noises are squeaking, thumping or banging, and grinding. You’ll want to start by inspecting the drive belt and pulley, the drum rollers and bearing, and the blower wheel.
Dryer Will Not Start – If the appliance itself will not turn on, it indicates a power or electronics problem. If that is what you are dealing with, start by checking the power cord, outlet, breaker, and fuses that are linked to the dryer. If you are not experiencing power failure, but a dryer that will not start the cycle you have selected, inspect the door switch, if it is faulty or obstructed the appliance will not run. Once you’ve ruled that out you should look at the thermal fuse, start switch, timer, and thermostats. Please note if you have a gas dryer you should ensure there are not ignition issues, that may be the root of the problem.
Dryer Not Heating Properly – If your dryer has no heat or not enough heat, it can be frustrating, as your clothes will not dry properly or at all. When the heat in your dryer is not enough to dry your clothes, it could be as simple as an airflow issue. This is why we recommend you start by inspecting and cleaning the exhaust vents and lint screen. If your dryer has proper airflow, it could be the heating element, thermal fuse, power cord, or one of the thermostats. Please note if you have a gas dryer you should start by making sure there is gas flowing to the appliance and that there are no ignition issues. That might be a contributing factor when it comes to properly heating during the dryer cycle.
Dryer Will Not Tumble – If you notice the drum in your dryer will not tumble or spin, first check that your dryer is not overloaded. If the load of laundry is too heavy the dryer may struggle to rotate the drum, which can lead to additional problems. If that is not the problem you will then want to check for a damaged or broken belt, or a faulty motor.
