Problems and their quick fix

Airflow.

Air flow can be altered due to blockage in the internal duct, this will lead to overheating and eventually there will be a complete or partial blockage in the air flow. If this seems the real problem then you must get some technical support and clean your lint filter and vent lines. And check the free flow of air from the exhaust vents.

Problem in heating element

Heating element is the one which keeps the dryer hot enough to blow hot air but if this heating element burns out the dryer will stop spinning and won’t work. Usually overloading , lack of proper cleaning of vent lines, and poor ventilation can invite these problems. You can test your heating element with an Ohm meter, place the ohm meter on two leads to check if the element is good or bad. To replace the faulty heating element, you can either take some technical help or can do it on your own.

Thermostat not working

Check if your thermostat with a multimeter. In improper functioning of the thermostat the dryer fails to get enough heat to dry your clothes. A faulty thermostat must be replaced.

Faulty thermal fuse.

It is located on the heating element compartment. Thermal fuse works as a power cut out. It cuts the power to the heating element when it heats too much. [temperature more than 185 F]. If this fuse burns out, your dryer won’t work so you have to replace it immediately. You can test the fuse with the help of a multimeter. Turn the dryer off, detach the fuse from it. Test the fuse by touching its probes on each terminal of the fuse it reads zero at temperature, then your fuse is fine.
