How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

Check basic airflow: Clean the lint filter, exhaust hose, and wall vent to ensure good airflow. Restricted airflow can cause overheating and trip safety devices.
Access heater: Remove the rear or side panel to reach the heater housing. Visually inspect the element for breaks or hot spots.
Test components: With a multimeter, check continuity of the heating element, high-limit thermostat, and thermal fuse. Replace any open component with the correct Gram part.
Inspect wiring: Ensure all heater connectors are tight and free of burn marks. Repair or replace damaged wiring.
Reassemble and test: After replacing faulty parts, reassemble the dryer, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm heating has returned.
