Possible Causes
Open heating element, Tripped thermal cutoff, Failed high-limit thermostat, Loose or burnt heater wiring at terminal block or heater housing
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the double-pole breaker and unplug the dryer. Verify power is off with a meter before touching internal wiring.
- Confirm no heat: Run the dryer on a timed high heat cycle for 5 minutes. Open the door and feel the air. If it is cool and no codes are shown, proceed.
- Check supply voltage: Verify 240V at the outlet or terminal block. If only 120V is present, correct the house wiring or breaker issue.
- Inspect heater circuit: Remove the rear or side panel to access the heater housing. Look for burnt wires or loose connections and repair as needed.
- Test components: With a multimeter, test the heating element, thermal cutoff, and high-limit thermostat for continuity. Replace any open components. Always address airflow issues if a safety device has opened.
- Reassemble and test: After replacing faulty parts, reassemble the dryer, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm proper heating.
