Dryer runs but does not heat; clothes come out cold and wet at the end of the cycle.

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

• Confirm symptom: Run a timed heat program for 5–10 minutes and check if any warm air is felt at the drum or vent. If not, proceed.
• Access heater: Remove the rear panel to expose the heater housing on most Montpellier vented and condenser dryers.
• Check wiring: Inspect heater terminals and wiring for burning or loose connections. Tighten or replace connectors as needed.
• Test components: With a multimeter, check continuity of the heating element and any inline thermostats/thermal fuses. Replace any open components with Montpellier-compatible parts.
• Reassemble and test: After replacement, reassemble panels and run a test cycle to confirm heat has returned.
