Possible Causes

Open heating element, Tripped high-limit thermostat or thermal fuse, Faulty NTC sensor causing heater lockout, Broken heater wiring or connector

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the Vedette dryer and allow it to cool fully before accessing the rear or internal components.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Confirm symptom: Run the dryer for 5–10 minutes on a high heat program, then stop and carefully feel the air at the exhaust or inside the drum. If it is not warm at all, proceed with heater checks.
  • Access heater assembly: Remove the rear panel to expose the heater housing. Identify the heating element terminals and thermostats.
  • Test thermal fuse / high-limit thermostat: With a multimeter, check for continuity across each thermostat and thermal fuse. Replace any that are open.
  • Check heating element: Disconnect the element and measure resistance. Infinite resistance indicates a failed element that must be replaced.
  • Inspect wiring: Look for burnt or loose connectors at the heater and thermostats. Repair or replace as needed.

Final step: After replacing faulty parts, reassemble, clean lint paths, and test a full cycle.
