Dryer element is blowing - Kenmore Dryers

That is more indicative of a fan failure. The element is supposed to get hot, but the fan blows the heat through the clothes and cools the element at the same time.

Yes, the difference is the air flow over the 1000 watt element, blow dryer, uses lots of air, heat gun uses a lesser airflow.

it sounds like you have a grounded heat element and the heat will stay on all the time,very easy to check,unplug the dryer,pull the two wires off of the heat element,with a meter touch one lead to the outside metal cover of the heater and the other lead to one of the element,then check the other side of the element the same way,if it shows continuity on one end of the element it's grounded and needs to be replaced with a new heating element.and every year or 18 months you have to clean out the dryer,i use a shop vac and a leaf blower,unplug the dryer,remove the bottom panel,remove the lint filter and the metal duct that the filter slides into,vac up all the lint you can see,brush out the hole where the filter goes and with a long thin screw driver dig out the lint that's in the right and left sides of the plastic slots where the filter slides in,now with the shop vac set it to blow and blow all the lint from the back forwards and blow the motor off and vac up the lint,after you clean out the cabinet go to the back and remove the vent line from the dryer,stick the leaf blower into the vent line and blow it out to the outside,if you do this every year you'll have less problems with the dryer,your clothes will dry on time and you don't have to worry about a dryer fire.

The heating element is shorted to ground. You will need to replace the heating element and the thermal fuse, both available at the link below.

Heating Element $40.77

Thermal Fuse $6.99

Hi,
The blown fuse is most likely caused by a short circuit in the dryer.
The first component I would check is the heater element as this is a highly stressed component in any electrical appliance.
Replace the blown fuse, then disconnect the wires to the heating element( Make sure you insulate the wires so as not to cause a short circuit against the dryer body).
Now turn on the drier & see if the fuse still blows. If it still blows, the problem is then most likely with the drum motor.
If it doesn't blow, you have only to replace the heating element.

Best wishes,

your dryer element is shorted to the element housing which is the same as ground and this will blow the fuses,remove the elements electrical connections and isolate the connections, and now if the 15amp fuses don't blow then you know the element is the problem

if you hooked up yhe wires on the heating element check the thermostat it will be a oval shapef unit on housing of element and has wires going to it it may be bad.

when a dryer does'ny blow hot air,it's normally either the element or the stats on the element.

When I turn the dryer on, only cold air blows out. There's no heat. I cleaned out the vents? What do you think is my problem> Thank you very much. K

check that you have 240 volts to the dryer terminal block
if so check the element and the element thermastats
