Why Whirlpool duet electric dryer will run but wont heat?

There are two circuits in your dryer. One runs the motor, the other the heating element. Something in your heating element circuit is broken, and the most likely culprit is the element. To check it, unplug the dryer, take the back off, find the element, disconnect one of the two wires and put an ohmmeter across the two connections. If it reads infinity, change the element.

When checking the resistance of a heating element the meter shows 10.5 ohm Also from each end of the element to the ground shows 5 ohm This means that the element is?

Short circuit to ground. The element is not safe to use and when properly wired, will cause the fuse to blow. Without the earth wire it will be dangerous and the chassis will be at mains potential! The element is intact, but the insulation has broken down to earth.


How can a broken wire affect a series circuit differently than a parallel circuit?

In a series circuit, all the current passes through the one circuit. Any break will totally remove power from all of the circuit.Parallel circuits have more than one branch where the current can flow. A broken wire will only affect one part, the rest of the circuit will still pass current.In a series circuit, all the current passes through the one circuit.
