My dryer will not run at all. I hold checked the breaker, plug, push to start switch, the door switch, the motor, the centrifugal switch and the terminal block. All have common impedances. My timer is my suspect. On 200 ohms I get an infinite resistance contained by the timer motor. Should I be using 2000 ohms? I don't know if I should just replace the timer as very well as the motor. I can't find what readings I should be getting for the timer/temp select (all within one) switch. This is a ~ ten year old current dryer.
Answers: Don't bother going up to a higher clamber on the ohm-meter: the circuit is open and you'll still read infinity.
You can't completely troubleshoot a dryer next to an ohm-meter, but it sounds like you've done a pretty thorough profession.
If it were the furnace elements, it would run, but cold. If it were the motor, you'd know it. Since it's completely limp and the breaker appears OK, it is almost certainly the timer at slate.
just replace the timer....the infinity reading indicates that something is unambiguous....this would be the normal "OFF" reading, if the switch is set to run, this is indicating that the timer is no polite
