All the vents have been cleared inside and outside, however, the dryer doesn't heat up, cold air blows and clothes don't get dried. Whirlpool LGR8620PG0

Hello. I need the model number to really help you accurately. However, this symptom is indicative of a possible blockage in the vent tube--either the flexible part connecting the dryer to the wall, or inside the wall, OR BOTH! Here's a relatively quick test. Remove the lint screen and any clothes from the dryer. Next, remove the vent hose from the bottom rear of the dryer. It can be sort of a pain to re-attach, especially if your laundry room is tight! Anyway, set the dryer for time-dry and turn it on--there should be a hard air-blow out the back of the dryer. Feel the pressure with your hand. Re-attach the hose and again, turn on the dryer. Go outside and locate the exhaust vent. You should feel a blow of air darn close to what you felt behind the dryer. IF YOU DON'T FEEL ANY AIRFLOW, OR IF IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKER, **YOU HAVE A BLOCKAGE SOMEWHERE IN THE AIR PATH**. This blockage is causing air movement in the dryer to be restricted--that air is full of moisture from the evaporated water out of the clothes. It has nowhere to go. Your clothes are probably taking a longer time to dry(if at all). You need to find and clear the blockage asap--the clock is ticking before you prematurely burn out the heating coil or pop a thermal safety fuse which prevents a fire. If you have a roof vent, it needs to be cleaned approximately every 4 months. If you have a long run through the walls or especially under the concrete slab, same rule applies. Lint turns into paper machet when it gets wet. It builds up like cholesterol in an artery and usually starts getting thicker towards the vent opening(cold air re-condenses the evaporated water). I hope I helped you!

Make sure it's blowing air out the vent outside. But even though it's heating doesn't mean it's heating 100 percent so u might need a heating element. Not to expensive to buy and often not to hard to change, refer to owners Manuel or a computer on how to change it.

after checking and replacing the vent going outside still the air was not venting and inside my drier everything was wet although the air was hot. After removing the rear panel i saw the blower belt disconnected. it took me some time to get the belt on but everything is ok and the air is venting and clothes getting dried. Also note that the little pulley came off its positio too.

2 things are needed to dry clothes. 1 is good air flow. Check to make sure that the dryer vent is not clogged or partially clogged with lint. Also make sure there are no kinks in the vent hose. With the dryer running you should feel good air flow blowing out of the outside house vent. The 2nd thing a dryer needs heat. Check to see that the dryer feels warm to hot when you reach in to tough the clothes. It is possible that the heat element has partially failed. Another thing to investigate is how well the laundry machine is spinning out the water in the spin cycle. This spin cycle is used to get as much water out as possible prior to placing the clothes in the dryer. The wetter the clothes when they come out of the laundry, the longer it takes to dry them.

When a dryer doesn't heat, either the heating element is bad, or the flap inside the venting of the dryer is opened allowing air to bypass the dryer instead of blowing the air into the dryer.

check the filter is clear and the access vent from heater fan to tumbler is not blocked - have seen a sock blocking air flow -
drier is only a fan blowing air over a heated element & through a duct or pipe into the tumbler - on exit the air passes a filter and if this is blocked - through passage is obstructed and hot air will escape backwards

when was the last time you cleaned your dryer?all a dryer does is move air around and if it can't cycle through the dryer the clothes won't dry. unplug the dryer and then you need to clean the duct that the lint filter slides into,vac out the inside of dryer where the motor is and clean out the vent line,if the vent line is a long run from the back of dryer to the outside vent i use a leaf blower to clean it out,make sure the outside vent is clear first then blow it out,if it's a short run vac it out,most problems start just from lint buildup,the clothes don't dry the dryer runs hot and parts start messin up,also vac out under your fridge,take the bottom kick plate off and vac it out,you can kill the compreesor if you don't,good luck

is the vent all the way to the exterior of you home clean and clear? turn on your dryer, then go outside where you dryer vents and see how much air is blowing out of it? sounds like you venting is clogged

You are correct. Pull the dryer out and disconnect your venting from the back of the dryer. Turn your dryer on and check to make sure your dryer is blowing air out of the dryer duct. If it is then leave your dryer out at least 2 ft from the wall and run a load of clothes through the dryer. If it dries your clothes normally then you have a venting restriction. Check to make sure your venting is clean, not kinked or smashed, make sure your outside vent is opening an doesn.t have something blocking it. Check your lint screen filter by running water through it. If water is not flowing through it, you have a build up of fabric softener on your screen, blocking air flow. Scrub your screen off and test again. Good Luck, Appliance Specialists

A dryer needs only three things to dry clothes:
1. Tumble the clothes.
2. Blow the air.
3. Heat the air.

If your clothes aren't drying, you are missing one or more of these.

You've mentioned that the basket is tumbling. That's good. The blower is also running if the motor is turning. But that doesn't mean the air is blowing. It could be clogged up behind the lint screen, in the vent pipe behind the machine, or at the vent outside the house.

If it's blowing lots of cold air (go to the outside vent to find out) then your dryer isn't heating. This would mean some part inside the dryer has failed. If so, the first thing you want to determine is, does the ignitor glow? There's a hole at the very bottom front edge where you might see it glow. You may have to place a mirror in front of the hole to see it glow.

Write back with more symptoms, and I'll help you through the rest.
