Possible Causes

Open heater element, Tripped non-resettable thermal fuse, Failed cycling thermostat stuck open, Loose heater wiring connector

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer and allow it to cool fully before working near the heater.

  • Confirm symptom: Run a 10–15 minute timed cycle and check if any warm air is coming from the drum. If not, proceed with heater checks.
  • Access heater assembly: Remove the rear panel to expose the heater housing. Identify the heater terminals, thermostats, and any thermal fuse.
  • Check wiring and connectors: Ensure all spade connectors are tight and free of burn marks. Reseat any loose connectors.
  • Test thermostats and fuse: With a multimeter, check continuity across the cycling thermostat and thermal fuse. Any open component must be replaced. A blown fuse often indicates prior overheating; clean filters and ducts before reuse.
  • Test heater element: Measure resistance across the heater terminals. Infinite resistance indicates a failed element that must be replaced with a Logik-compatible heater assembly.
