Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the breaker and unplug the dryer before servicing. Heating components can remain hot.
- Verify power: Confirm 240 VAC at the outlet with a multimeter. Reset the double-pole breaker fully OFF then ON.
- Check thermal fuse: Remove the rear panel, locate the thermal fuse on the blower housing, and test for continuity. Replace if open and clean the vent system to prevent repeat failure.
- Test heating element: Disconnect the element leads and measure resistance. Replace the element if open or shorted to ground.
- Inspect thermostats: Test the cycling thermostat and high-limit thermostat for continuity. Replace any open components.
- Reassemble and test: After replacing failed parts, reassemble, restore power, and run a timed high-heat cycle.
