It could be several other things thermal fuse, thermal cut out, hi limit thermostat, dryer coils, heat sensor,or igniter. All of these parts are inexpensive and easy to test and replace.There is a video at www.appliancehelponline.com/servicemanual.html this will walk you thru the troubleshooting of these components. It may be a different model but the troubleshooting will be the same.You can also enter your model # for diagrams and illustrations. All parts come with installation instructions. Not all models are available. If you need help disassembling your machine there are videos of this also for most styles.

My Whirlpool duet dryer isn't drying on automatic or timed settings. I replaced the ther-o-mister, but the dryer isn't heating up. How do you run a diagnostic on this dryer. Model GEW9250PWO

You should know that dryer has a thermal fuse located along exhaust Of heat... When You over load the machine the flow of air is not enough... Then thermal fuse is damaged ( open due security condition ) and the flame is turn off all the time... Just replace the thermal fuse. I hope this can help You. Sincerely

Does Not Shut Off

1st go the the house breaker (dbl breaker) for the dryer and shut it off and turn it back on, your dryer runs on 220 volts of power but if the breaker is partially tripped it may be only running on 110 volts which is only enough power to turn the lights on and to turn the drum the element needs 220 volts to turn on. If it still doesn't heat after resetting the breaker then you may need a heating element or thermostat. The dryer isn't shutting off because it isn't detecting the clothes are getting dry so once you fix your heating problem the dryer should start shutting off on its own again.

Clothes dryer doesn't heat

This caused by one of two possible things. Either you have poor air flow, or a clogged vent preventing air from flowing freely and therefor making the dryer short cycle, which in turn will take you two or three times to dry yor clothes, or the heating element has gone bad, burnt in half and is making contact with the case to provide it just enough power to barely heat. The second thing is a very rare occurance. I would turn the dryer on, find out where the air vents out to, and with the dryer running, go to where it vents and check to see if there is a strong flow of air. 9 times out of 10 that is going to be your problem. Another way to check air flow is to just pull the vent off the back and let the dryer run and see if your clothes dry faster. If you do it that way and they still take a long time to dry, then you'll probably need to replace the heating element

Maytag EPIC dryer runs but does not get warm and therefore the clothes do not dry.

Hello there and thank you for choosing fixya
It normally takes about 45 minutes for a dryer to dry a full load. If your dryer is taking more than an hour, check these.
Vent Frequently there's an obstruction in the vent duct from the dryer to the outside of the house. For the dryer to heat properly, the duct must be clean and clear of lint or any other substance. Heating element Your dryer's heating element may be partially burned out. If it is, your dryer still heats, but at such a low temperature that it takes three or four times as long to dry the clothes. If the element is partially burned out, replace it. To determine if the heating element is burned out, watch the part testing video at the bottom of this page. Internal ductwork Your dryer has some internal ductwork. If it gets clogged, your dryer can't dry properly. In most dryers, to get to the internal ductwork to clear the clog, you have to substantially disassemble the dryer. A quick way to check for internal clogs is to remove the lint filter and use a flashlight to inspect the inside of the duct. If it looks clogged and you can't clear it using your vacuum, contact a qualified appliance repair technician. Cycling thermostat Although this isn't a common problem, one of the thermostats that controls the temperature in your dryer may break and cause the dryer to heat poorly. If so, you need to replace it. The thermostat is usually a small, round, black device mounted to an oblong steel plate. The plate is mounted to the internal ductwork with two screws.

Dryer runs but does not dry clothes

Dryers run on two circuits. One runs the motor and the other runs the heat. Check to make sure the fuse isn't blown or the breaker isn't tripped. Usually there is a fuse box behind the dryer with two fuses. One is for motor, one is for heater.

Does not heat and the timer does not shut the dryer off

Most dryers have two circuits. It sounds like one of these has a blown fuse. Check the breaker/fuse box and make sure the breaker isn't tripped or the fuse isn't blown.

Dryer everything works, but no heat.

You didn't mention whether it was a gas or electric dryer, but either way it probably just isn't producing heat. If it's electric, it's most likely a defective heating element. If it's gas, the burner probably isn't igniting. On both there is usually some sort of thermal shut off switch that can also go bad and shut off the heat element or the burner.
