Dryer stop working

dryers don't have circuit breakers in them you do have them in your house fuse box,you must mean like the thermal fuse or high limit fuse,if the dryer isn't running these are the things you want to check,also if the dryer and vent line haven't been cleaned out and you might have noticed that it was taking loner for your clothes to dry,this will blow one of the t-stats as a safety,all a dryer does is move air,if you have a block in the dryer or vent line one of the fuses pop from the dryer heating up to much from the block so clean out the dryer and vent line before you run the dryer again if you fix it because the t-stat that was blown will blow again.

You will be needing someone with an electric meter, (an ohm meter or a multi-meter) to begin testing to find out if it is the dryer or the power source.
The one thing you could do is check the fuse panel or the circuit breaker box to see if a circuit breaker popped or a fuse blew.
The circuit breaker can be reset by flipping the handle a few times, a fuse would need replacement.
Other than that, an electric meter will tell if the plug socket is live or dead, and then the machine needs be taken apart to see which part has failed. Usually a fuse or a thermo-switch has popped inside the machine.
God bless your efforts.

I could be your thermal fuse, that would be the first place to start after checking wiring connectivity, good luck

Something like a fuse or circuit breaker blew in the drier. Hopefully that and not the main circuit board!

No, but mine started doing the same thing today. Did it once before and same- started working again. Any suggestions for last poster and myself?

check your main breaker box first, see if it tripped, if the breaker looks okay then turn off the breaker for the dryer and reset the breaker switch, if this still doesn't work then a fuse has popped on the circuit board.

CHECK THE FOLLOWING---

1. No power to the dryer
Make sure there's power getting to the dryer. Check for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses. An electric dryer uses two circuit breakers or fuses, and if only one of two is tripped or blown, the dryer might still run but not heat. Sometimes the power cord disconnects or burns at the dryer, if this is the case, the wiring and the terminal block must be repaired or replaced.

2. Heating element
A burned out heating element will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Replace the element if found defective.

3. Thermal fuse
Most dryers have a thermal fuse, which burns out when the dryer overheats, in which case the dryer will either not run at all or stop heating. The fuse is usually located on the vent duct, inside the dryer. A blown fuse will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Before replacing the fuse, make sure the blower wheel is not broken or clogged, and there is nothing blocking the venting.

Dryer does not work at all

• Make sure the dryer is plugged in securely
• Check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker
• Test the power outlet for voltage
• Inspect the electrical cord for damage
• Eliminate use of an extension cord, if any is being used
• Check the outlet voltage
• Test the door switch
• Test the start switch
• Test the safety fuse
• Test the thermostats
• Test the timer motor
• Test the motor

Hope this may help;

DON'T FORGET TO RATE:

possible bad thermal fuse remove back look for small white object on left side just above blower on side if lint screen housing with continuity checker ck to make sure there a closed connection through fuse

I have a Magic Chef Clothes dryer. Model #YE224LV. Was drying clothes, went back to ckeck and dryer wasn't running. Push botton and nothing. Check circuit breaker everything ok. What do I need to check and how. Just won't start.
Thank you!!!
