Possible Causes
Open-circuit heating element, Tripped thermal cut-out (TCO), Failed cycling thermostat, Broken heater wiring or connector
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the dryer from the mains and allow it to cool before accessing the heater.
- Check basic settings: Ensure the cycle selected is not an air-only or cool cycle.
- Access heater: Remove the rear panel to access the heater housing on most New World dryers.
- Test heater: Disconnect the heater and measure resistance. Infinite resistance indicates a failed element that must be replaced.
- Check thermal cut-out: Locate the thermal cut-out on the heater housing. Test for continuity; if open, replace it and investigate airflow issues that may have caused overheating.
- Inspect wiring: Check all heater-related wiring and connectors for burns or loose contacts. Repair or replace as necessary.
