It might very well be the dryer overheated. Look for blocked vent to outside(snow and such) lint and any other thing that could be causing an overheat situation. Next check the filter housing for blockage. then check the fuse. The fuse on these dryers is mounted on the blower housing near the exhaust and is right next to the control thermostat in most cases.

My 4 yr. old Maytag electric dryer stopped in the middle of drying towels and wouldn't restart. I called one repairman who told me it was my motor and I called another repairman closer to where I live and he came out and replaced my fuse. My dryer works fine now.

Hi,

If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working properly.

if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip....

If you have an electric dryer, you can have many different things that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat.

check out this electric no heat tip...

There is a thermocouple on the inside that prevents the dryer from getting too hot. If this burns out this opens the circuit so the dryer will not work but all other functions will work.

Check the following to address this issue.(Most common issue will be a burned out thermal fuse.)




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.

Use a multimeter to check the heating element. You can't always go by looks. Check continuity and if there is none, the element is defective. Another thing to check is the thermal fuse. It is about an inch long and is usually attached to the exhaust duct. Use the meter to check it as well and if defective, replace it. Sure hope this helped and best wishes.

If your dryer is not getting power there are some things that can cause this problem,
No house power supply going to the dryer,it could be a tripped breaker or blown fuse depending on which kind of electrical panel you have.
A bad or defective door switch, if the door switch does'nt work the dryer will not run.
The power cord connected to the dryer could have a Broken or burned connection at the dryers teriminal block.
If the thermal fuse is blown the dryer will not dry or it may not work at all.
If the timer is bad you might have to call a appliance repair man.

need the model # from the unit should be where the door closes to the CYE4000AWW is not a Kenmore Model
