Dryer runs but will not heat. Replaced fuse and

Hello Scott Joseph Brandt - Since you have already replaced the thermal limiter check your breaker or fuses. Some dryers are run by two separate fuses, one for power and one for heat-ours is. If it is not the power source more than likely the issue lies with your heating coil.

Maytag gas dryer , runs for about 15 sec. heats up , then completly shuts off , Checked thermal fuse & it was blown , replaced & it ran for about 15 sec again & blew fuse again ....help .

did it blow the fuses a second time.try this .put your dryer on a cycle that wont call for heat and turn it on.if the heat strips are not on and it still blows a fuse it is the motor.if the heat strips are on and it blows a fuse the heat strips are the trouble.

If your thermal fuse keeps popping, you may want to ensure you have the vent cleaned out, you may have some sort of restriction somewhere in either the duct,
or the machine. As you know the thermal fuse, protects the machine from over heating.
Check that you have the proper voltage to the machine,
Ohm out the heating element to ensure you have voltage right there, then ohm out your Cycle t-stat, it may not be working right either.

shorted motor or heating element, which causes excessive current draw would be the cause, replace the heating element first.

vent pipe kinked not letting heat away from dryer, check vent , or the thermostt stuck and not cycling heating element cycle off

Fuse and element failure is related to lack of air passing over the element. The drum and fan should run even if the heater is inoperative. Find out what is stopping them, then work on heat. If motor is running, there should be air flow--pull vent hose from wall outlet--should be brisk air flow. If not, remove the lint screen and check again. If now ok, soak the lint screen in hot water and detergent. If drum does not turn, check the drive belt and if it sits properly on motor pulley.

Try testing the voltage across both fuses. The time you swapped fuses, and the motor ran without heat indicates to me that one of your hot leads is not getting voltage. On a three wire system, you should have two 110v leads and a common. Make sure that the cord is connected properly, and the same for the receptacle that you plug into. Test the receptacle as well for proper voltage and a good common ground.
Hope that this helps. Please repost if necessary.....Operators are standing by......!

Probably restricted air flow caused by lint build up. Clean out dryer and all vent pipes, check damper outside and see if it opens. After you clean out everything run dryer on aif fluff/no heat cycle and see if there is good air flow outside. If it is electric it could be that the heating element is burned out and shorting out against the frame. This can cause overheating.
