Dryer drum turned but no heat.
I watched the repair/troubleshooting video, learned the basic causes and began to eliminate from simple to complex.First probable cause was poor air passage in vent. My old house had 6 90 degree bends before reaching outside. Technically it should have sucked air into te dryer. Redid venting to only 2 90 degree bends. Then checked continu ity at breakers thermstats and finally heater unit. No continuity at heater unit, took it out and was able to see the broken coil. With that knowledge and experience, replacing the unit was simple and quick. Thanks a bunch.
