We moved our whirlpool elec dryer to another room and now it will not heat up

Is there power to the element?

Check the power supply make sure your have 220 volts then we can move on the check more devices

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...

the belt is off or broken, changing the belt yourself can be tricky, you must remove the front bulkhead and door/panel assy, then you have to route the belt correctly from th motor to the belt tensioner, you may want to call a tech.

if you set timer on time dry it will count down but if you have it set on more or less it will not advance without heat,change out the heater and you will be fine

Thermostat controls heat. There is also a

motor centrifulgal switch, in the element

circuit, that the motor closes to insure

the motor is turning. Try another heat

setting. There is more than one

thermostat. You may have blown the

'thermal fuse' too, which requires

replacement. The elecment has a contact in

the 'timer' circuit too.

It is possible that your element has

failed also.

Tripped high limit. Must clean the lint

filter and the exhaust vent tube and all

the way in to the dryer. Hot air exit is

restricted.

a gas dryer does not have a heating element

check your lint filter, take it to the sink and see if it holds water. it may be clogged from using fabric softner in youe washer.

THERE IS A HEAT SENSOR ON THE HEATER THAT HAS GONE BAD YOU CAN GET ONE FROM AN OLD DRYER OR BUY ONE FROM AN ELECTRIC APPLIANCE PARTS STORE. THE SENSOR IS LOCATED ON THE HEAT SHIELD AND IS ATTACHED WITH TWO SMALL SCREWS AND ONE ELEC. WIRE. I HOPE YOU CAN REPAIR YOUR DRYER.

you will need to let it cycle a few times in order to bleed the air out of the gas line to the valve it should start up after a few attempts let me know
