I have a Kenmore dryer model 110.61202013. I’ve replaced the heating element, cycling thermostat, thermal fuse and thermostat within the last week. The dryer blew out hot air for 60 seconds after the dryer was put together. Washed a load of towels- the dryer started back blowing cold air. What possibly went wrong within an hour after replacing the parts?

The timer contacts might not be making. I believe it’s Black wire to blue wire on timer. You can test it with a multimeter set for ohms. Unplug the dryer. This is not a voltage test so the dryer can not be plugged in. Remove the back panel to the console. There should be a wiring diagram. Turn the dryer timer to a heat cycle. Find the two terminals and remove the blue wire. Now check the blue to the black. You should get a reading. Turn the knob to off and check again. You shouldn’t have a reading. If you don’t have a reading when the timer is set to heat, then your timer is bad.

Tough one. The first thing I would check is the wall outlet. You possibly have one leg hot and the other not. Here’s a video on how to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g76u2HY

Hi, Have you checked that both the heater element connecting wires part #15 bulkhead parts are OK and not corroded etc and are secured and not loose, you didn’t say?
