Hello, welcome to FixYa. I understand you have an issue with your dryer, correct ? Based on the items you listed, I gather it isn't heating as well. I have a couple of things, first can you identify the parts you replaced by part number, and second have you verified the dryer has 240volts inside the cabinet ? I will watch for your reply and help you going forward. Regards, Macmarkus :)
