A look at what is currently available on eBay
I need to know what to do for a 70 Series Kenmore Electric dryer that is not heating and won't stop running.?
I have already cleaned the vent and that does not seem to help. This happened several months ago with the heat part of it and I cleaned the vent and it worked fine. Now it won't heat again and it also keeps running after time runs out.
There are a few things that could be wrong here.
A probable cause is the electric heater element open-circuited (broke), and no electric current is flowing through it, so no heat is generated.
If the dryer control is set in Automatic, then it would never shut off because there is no heat going into the clothes. (On Auto, these dryers basically only run their timers when the exhaust temperature is hot.)
If the dryer control is set in Timed Dry mode, and it never shuts off, then problem is with the timer motor.
If you are electrically handy, and can do it safely with a voltmeter, this is fairly easy to diagnose.
In order of priority, I would check:
1. The electric heater elements (assuming this is not a gas dryer)
2. The resistor in the motor circuit.
3. The thermostats (there are several of them)
4. The timer motor coil (to see that it runs and turns the mechanism)
5. The output contacts of the timer mechanism
