Safety first: Unplug the combo. Heating components can be sharp and hot; allow time to cool before servicing.

1. Verify airflow: Check the exhaust duct at the back and the wall vent for lint buildup or crushing. Poor airflow can overheat and blow safety devices.
2. Access the dryer heater assembly: Remove the rear panel to locate the dryer heater housing. Note the thermal fuse and thermostats mounted on the housing.
3. Test the thermal fuse and thermostats: Disconnect wires and check each device for continuity with a multimeter. Any open device must be replaced with the correct Magic Chef-rated part.
4. Test the dryer heating element: Measure resistance across the element terminals. An open circuit indicates a failed element that must be replaced.
5. Inspect wiring harness: Look for burned connectors or melted insulation around the heater assembly. Repair or replace damaged wiring.
6. Clean lint paths: Vacuum lint from the heater housing, blower wheel, and internal ducts to prevent repeat failures.
7. If all components test good: The main control board or heater relay may be faulty; consider professional diagnosis.
