How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that trips. Unplug the dryer and investigate.

Frequent tripping indicates an electrical fault or overloaded circuit.

Check circuit capacity: Ensure the dryer is on a dedicated circuit of the correct amperage as specified by Blomberg.
Inspect power cord and terminal block: Look for burned or loose connections. Tighten terminals and replace damaged parts.
Test heating element for ground fault: With the dryer unplugged, disconnect the element and measure resistance from each terminal to the metal housing. Any continuity indicates a short; replace the heater assembly.
Check motor windings: Test motor resistance and inspect for signs of overheating. Replace the motor if windings are shorted.
If unsure: Electrical faults can be hazardous. If you are not experienced with electrical testing, contact a qualified technician.

Dryer occasionally trips the household circuit breaker or blows a fuse during operation.
