How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer. For gas models, shut off gas supply.

  • Check power: Ensure full 240V supply (drum can turn on 120V but not heat).
  • Access heater: Remove rear panel and inspect heater assembly and wiring.
  • Test thermal fuse and thermostats: Replace any open components.
  • Test heating element: Replace if open or visibly broken.

Steps (gas):

  • Observe burner: If igniter does not glow, replace igniter. If it glows but no flame, replace gas valve coils. If flame appears then goes out repeatedly, check flame sensor and coils.
