new heating element wont heat

Brand: Kenmore

I have an electric kenmore elite dryer and the heat stopped working so I bought and installed a new heating element for it and the new heating element doesnt turn on. I found the a wiring diagram on another site to make sure the wires were properly hooked up but it still doesnt heat. Its the right part for the machine so Im guessing its maybe a wiring issue, any clue how to fix it?

The heating element I got was 3387747 if that helps and my dryer model number is 110.63932101.

Thanks in advance.





edit: Now Im looking at a video on youtube where the wires are hooked up differently then what I've seen in a daigram. Guess Ill try this.

Do you have an ohm meter or multmeter that you can use to check parts for continuity?

Yes, I watched a few vids on youtube and did that test that they reccomended and I have a bad part that didnt read any ohms. Its a thermo disc.


Im assuming I can just get it at my local sears and if not I guess online. Thanks tho.

You will have to check locally to see if they stock the part you need. If not we sell the parts
