Maytag Dryer MDE3706AYW has a burnt black wire, did the wire just have a bad day or do I need to replace the heating element and the wire?

ON THE ELEMENT U HAVE THE HI LIMIT, THE THERMAL CUTOFF, AND THE OTHER FUSE FOR THE LIFE OF ME AT THE MOMENT CANT RECALL WHATS ITS CALLED LOL BUT SOUNDS LIKE THE ONE THAT BURNED OUT AS THE OTHER 2 ARE HIGHER UP

Check to be sure that you have 240v at the terminal block. If you replaced all those parts, there is nothing left to check. Either you don't have 240v or one of those parts is bad.

ften a dryer heating element burns out, but doesn't trip the circuit breaker or blow a fuse. The heating element is simply a long coil of special wire. You can check it for continuity with an ohm meter. No continuity means the element is bad and you need to replace it--electric heating elements aren't repairable.
On many dryers, there's a thermal fuse mounted to the exhaust duct inside the back cover panel. The fuse--which is about an inch long--is usually embedded in black resin and mounted in a white plastic housing. If the fuse has blown, you need to replace it. (You can't re-set it.)

Because the dryer can still tumble with partial power, the connection may be only partially defective.

Thank you!

this is actually very simple
barring any changes ....
inspect yoor post connector
you should see one is red
one is white
one is either blue/black

black to black/blue
red to red
white to white'
green to chasis frame

If your dryer doesn't heat, check these:

Power from the house
Heating element
Thermal fuse
Wiring
Power from the house Check to see whether there's power getting to the dryer. Is it plugged in? Check for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers--your dryer uses two fuses or circuit breakers. The dryer could tumble but not heat if only one of the two fuses is blown. If you have circuit breakers, one of the two circuit breakers can trip, even if the two for the dryer are connected.

No, you do not need to remove the drum. But you will need to remove the cover from the blower assembly. Using a volt meter, check the elements continuity to determine if it is bad or good.

better to unplug the unit for an hour.

it should be located it a small trap door around the drum either on the side , inside , or on the bottom. to replace it you must remove the screws the hold it in place slide it out remove the wiring and then slide the new one in screw it back in and plug the wires back on it. please make sure during this process the dryer is unpluged from the wall plug. hope it works out for you .
