0 backtroller1 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Make sure you check your breaker switch first, the dryer is on a 230 volt breaker and if 1/2 of that is tripped the dryer will run but won't heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Heidi Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Make sure that the hose is not fullof lint. If it is clogged, it won't blow warm air. Check the end on the outsideof the house too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bearslayer Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Very possible it's an element, but there other things it could be also. If you have access to a volt meter, you can test the parts and determine which is bad. That dryer has a couple of safety thermostats that are bad once they are tripped. Usually trip from plugged venting or air flow restriction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
