Why won't my Kenmore dryer model 110.86663100 get hot?
We replaced the heating element and thermostat and another part at the top of the heating element but don't remember what it was called. We have 220 voltage and its worked on the same voltage before. It turns on but doesn't dry the cloths. Thanks for your help.

check your breaker. sometimes only one side of a 220 will blow. also if it is heating and it is taking your clothes longer to dry it may be because your vent is plugged up. especially if you have a long exhaust tube or you vent upward thru the cieling
