This video explains how to test a dryer's heating element. It describes how the multi-tiered element cycles on and off for different load types and emphasizes using an ohmmeter to test the leads, rather than a live power test, due to safety switch complications. It also stresses the importance of keeping ducts and vents clear of lint to maintain airflow and extend the element’s life.
