Troubleshooting Tips

Here are the most common reasons why your dryer may not be heating and how to fix them:

Check the Basics First

  • Check if the circuit breaker hasn't tripped
  • Verify that the door is completely closed

Main Causes and Solutions

1. Heating Element Issues

Symptoms:

  • Drum turns but air stays cold
  • Uneven heating

Solution: If the element is faulty, it needs to be replaced.

2. Ventilation System Blockage
