I have a Kenmore (Whirlpool) Elite HE5 Steam front load dryer. Everything seems to work fine except there is absolutely no heat. I checked the breaker, and it wasn't tripped. I checked the lint filter and vent hose which were both clear. HELP!! The clothes are starting to pile up since we can't dry anything nor afford hundreds in repair service call. Dryer was working as recently as last week and is less than 18 mos old. Dryer worked for 18 months at this house. I ran the diagnostics as shown on the manual taped inside the toe panel. The last fault code thrown by the dryer was F-31 "Line Voltage Error." The breaker switch wasn't thrown when I checked. I used a multi-meter to check the outlet and got 244. I tested the continuity through the electric cord to the wire harness. I tested all the connections at the wire harness, the electronics control board and at the heater element (inlet and outlet thermistor) and everything checked out (proper resistance, proper continuity, good connections). I still get the the L-2 error (low line voltage). Can anyone offer a suggestion?

I found this

F:50 - Water Valve Failure
F:50 flashes if no voltage is detected at the water valve relay.
? Check that the wires are plugged in on the valve and at the
relay on the electronic control. This fault code appears ONLY when in the Diagnostic Test Mode.

and then the OP said

Well the thermal fuse and the thermistor were both bad, replaced and the dryer is working fine.

Thanks for the help Jeff....

Quoting:
"F 30 code can be reset by un plugging power cord for 5 minutes also pull out the detergent dispenser and reach all the way in to the back there is a small plastic flapper valve move it from side to side with your finger this will rest code f30 and save a tech visit.."

Kenmore Elite Dryer Error Code = F30 Error Condition = Restricted Outlet Airflow
Check or Repair Needed = Check the lint screen filter and clean of any lint. Remove fabric softener buildup on the lint screen if necessary. Clear lint blockage restriction from the air vent exhaust system.

The F30 code is a false code. It does not mean anything. The dryer will work fine. When I worked for Whirlpool, this was a programming issue. I owned the same dryer. It displayed this code and engineers explained this to me. The dryer worked fine.

Check all the thermostats for continuity.

it is possible the drive belt has broken, this is normally the problem

Check that there is 240 volt at the plug as sometimes a breaker will be weak on one side and only produce 120 volts which will let the drum spin but produce no heat

remove front panel and look at tec sheet inside / it will tell you what is not working . make shure all the packing has been removed and power cord is proper .. 3 beep are a code . tec sheet will tell .. mm .

when i clean my screen i use a cheap vacuum to **** up particles as i pull it out and vacuum screen. works so nice.. but use a cheapy that you doesnt need a bag and it will filter better as it gets clogged with lint lol.

Have a certified electrician check your outlet. The dryer requires 220VAC for the heating elements to work. If this is ok, check the heating elements it may be broken.If this is ok, check the high and low limit switches, this could be defective.

I have a Kenmore HE5 Steam: after a power failure last week, now when you turn the dryer on and push"start" the cycle stops emediately and flashes PF...
