  • How to Fix a Dryer That Has No Heat. Complete Instructions on how to find and fix no heat problems in a dryer. This is a common problem and a pretty simple and straight forward diagnosis and repair to make on a standard Whirlpool-style dryers, that cause it not to heat and dry your clothes. There are not many parts in dryers and the repair should be straight forward.
    If you're getting heat but things are still damp, you may have air flow issues in the dryer or in the venting and I will show you how to do that in this video.
    You will also learn ways to make your dryer more efficient and how to properly attach and place the vent hose for the dryer's best performance.

    61 year old Grandma here! This is by far the best repair video I have seen! My Daddy, (miss him so much,) taught me to do many things and I had a general idea of how to replace a dryer element, but wanted to see details and to make sure I do it safely. Thank you for this wonderful, simple explanation!

    This was AWESOME! I had already fixed the tumbler (wasn't moving- it was a belt issue). When I opened up the back to do a diagnosis found that it was filled with lint! Turns out I just needed to vacuum it and clean off the terminals. Luckily my house didn't catch on fire! LOL. But this is GREAT because now I know how to diagnose issues in the future, and will do better maintenance on the dryer from here on out.

    Thanks so much for being so thorough. I had issues with our old dryer. Checked for any lint clogs & cleared out vent hose. Nothing really filled in there. Then, checked thermal fuse. Good. Checked Door switch = super loose & not connecting, so got new door switch. Fixed the problem of dryer not turning back on.
    Then, the dryer isn't drying the clothes. It does heat up, but doesn't completely dry the clothes. Going to check the heating elements you so kindly explained here & will try to fix the issue. Thanks so much!
    Simple fixes, but without a professional giving tips & tricks, pretty lost, lol. And, hard to find anyone local that does this sort of work. Glad to pay someone else, but can't get ahold of anyone. Good learning experience myself.

    I have an old Frigidaire dryer with the circular coil element.
    I recently replaced the ball hitch & bracket along with the belt to eliminate squeaking. Everything was fine- for a day.
    Now it turns but no heat.
    So far I checked to make sure I have 240 volts.
    Checked continuity on heating coil
    Thermal fuse and thermostat.
    All seem to be okay.
    My wife looked online and was convinced it’s the thermal fuse so I ordered a replacement and put it in.
    Still no heat.
    Then to test I pulled the drum out checked connections and turned it on. Every time I turn it on there is a distinct “pop” sound. No sparks, smoke or smell- just the little pop.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello, the heating eliminate went out so we bought a kit, but once we put everything back together it gets hot enough it blows the thermal fuse, I changed out all the Thermal Cutout Fuse, High Limit thermostat, and the Cycling thermostat. the vents are clear out side and inside the dryer vent is too, I never used the L250-80F fuse not sure if it suppose to go on top where the Thermal Cutout fuse goes are what. I have the 309F Thermal Fuse Cutout Up top on the heating
    eliminate. I have the High Limit going to the Heating Elements Terminals. and i have the L155-25f fuse going to the Cycling Thermostat.

    Here’s a real test for all you diagnostic guys out there. I have a basic Maytag electric dryer less than 5 years old that keeps blowing the fuse at the fusebox. The dryer is getting power and it lights off just fine and gets hot. It runs for approx 10-15 mins then blows the breaker. I have watched approx 12 videos including this one on how to diagnose the various switches, thermistor, thermostat and parts inside the back service panel. I have used the multimeter to test all those parts and I am getting continuity on everything. What could be causing this thing to blow the breaker???

    Thank You For Your Video, Sir. It Really Came In Handy. My High Heat Thermostat Was The Issue. I Replaced It With A New One And It Heats Better Than Before. Should I Still Change Out The Bottom Thermostat Even Though That One Wasn't The Issue? I'm Asking Because You Mentioned It In Your Video. The Bottom Thermostat Read "0.00" On The Multimeter While The High Heat Thermostat Didn't Even Give A Response. Also, The Thermostat Just Under The Fuse Read At "7.07" And The Fuse And Heating Element Both Read "0.00."

      Could be a number of different things. Try a different setting on your timer for drying and see if that fixes it. Could be a thermostat going bad or maybe A loose connection… Etc. also cleaning the ductwork in the dryer and ductwork going outside May help but probably not your problem.
