Possible Causes
Tripped thermal fuse, Open heating element (electric), Failed gas valve coils (gas), Faulty thermostat or thermistor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and shut off gas for gas models before servicing.
- 1. Confirm cycle settings: Ensure the dryer is not set to an air-only or no-heat cycle.
- 2. Access heater circuit: Remove the rear panel to reach the heater housing, thermostats, and thermal fuse.
- 3. Test thermal fuse: Use a multimeter to check continuity. Replace if open and investigate venting issues that may have caused overheating.
- 4. Test element or burner: For electric models, check the heating element for continuity. For gas models, observe if the igniter glows and flame appears; if igniter glows but no flame, replace gas valve coils.
- 5. Check thermostats/thermistor: Test for proper resistance and replace any faulty components.
- 6. Reassemble and test: After replacing parts, run a timed dry cycle and verify proper heating.
