How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer and do not reset the breaker repeatedly without finding the cause.

Step-by-step checks:

Visual inspection: Check the power cord and plug for damage or burn marks. Replace if needed.
Check for moisture: Inspect the base and internal components for water leaks or condensation. Fix any leaks before further use.
Test heater to ground: With a multimeter, check for continuity between heater terminals and chassis. Any continuity indicates a shorted element that must be replaced.
Inspect motor and capacitor: Look for burnt smell or visible damage. Replace faulty components.

Note: If you are not comfortable working with mains voltage, contact a qualified electrician or appliance technician.
