Possible Causes
Open heating element, Tripped thermal fuse, Failed cycling thermostat, One leg of supply voltage missing (electric models)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the circuit breaker and unplug the dryer.
Steps:
- Verify power: For 240V models, use a multimeter to confirm both hot legs are present at the outlet. A missing leg can cause no heat.
- Check lint and airflow: Clean lint filter and exhaust duct to ensure proper airflow; restricted airflow can trip safety devices.
- Test thermal fuse: Access the rear panel and locate the thermal fuse on the exhaust duct. Test for continuity; replace if open.
- Test heating element and thermostat: Measure resistance of the heating element and cycling thermostat. Replace any open components.
