Dryer runs but does not heat; clothes remain cold and wet at the end of the cycle.

Safety first: Unplug the dryer and allow it to cool before accessing the heater.

• Basic checks:
  • Confirm you are not using an air-only or cool program.
  • Verify the room temperature is within the recommended range.
• Clean filters and ducts: Blocked airflow can cause safety devices to trip; clean lint filter, condenser, and exhaust hose.
• Access heater assembly:
  • Remove the rear panel.
  • Locate the heater housing and attached thermostats.
  • Inspect for burnt wires or discoloration.
• Test components (if possible):
  • Check continuity of the heating element; replace if open.
  • Test thermostats and thermal cut-outs; replace any open devices that do not reset.

Warning: If you are not confident testing live circuits or replacing high-power components, contact a qualified technician.
