Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect from mains and wait for the unit to cool completely.
Inspect dryer heater:
- Access heater: Remove the rear panel to locate the dryer heater assembly on the air duct.
- Check continuity: Measure resistance across the heater terminals. Infinite resistance indicates a blown element.
- Thermal fuse: Check any inline thermal cut-outs or thermostats on the heater housing for continuity. Replace if open.
- Inspect wiring: Ensure all connectors are tight and not heat-damaged.
Control board: If heater and fuses are good, the dryer heater relay on the control board may be faulty and the board may need replacement.
