If resistance is infinity,
replace Heater.
The power supply will be off if the temperature
is too high. Then we need to press this red
button on the thermostat to restart the dryer.
Measure resistance of the following terminals
(Electric & Gas):
1. Door switch: open
Terminal: “COM” – “NO” (1-2): ∞ Ω
2. Door switch push: On
Terminal: “COM” – “NO” (1-2): < 1Ω

- Lever open: Resistance value
< 1Ω
- Lever push: Resistance value:
