The heating element went out and the machines are not old enough for that, I wouldn't think but it isn't heating up or drying.

Just for the record, the heating element went on mine too and I'd only used it less than half a dozen times. The engineer said that it went because it hadn't been used enough (it gets moisture inside somewhere). He said if I didn't use it I would have the same problem after it had been replaced. So make sure you dry something every couple of weeks (he said at least once a month).

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.

There is usually a thermal breaker in the electrical circuit. You may need to reset it or replace it.

what exactly is it doing? need more information than prime message and blinking light.? please give me more info. [email protected].

your heating element went bad in coffe maker replace heating element.

you should check the heating element. if the water is not hot enough, the timer will not advance. crack open the door mid-cycle. let the water stop flying around. then open it all the way up. if you don't get a big ball of steam, you have an indication that your heating element may not be working properly. this is not too hard to check the resistance with a multimeter and then replace, if necessary. good luck

You are right -almost-. When the heating element is not working properly and dishes doesn't dry, I don't think the heating element went bad. It's more likely that other part is causing the problem. Perhaps the timer went bad.

When the timer is broken, the heating element doesn't get power to dry the dishes. By the way, the timer are also called electronic controls or control panel. I believe it needs to be replaced.

this could be a partial faulty heater element, a 2 heat element could only be working on 1 element, this can overload the other one causing it to keep switching on and off at the thermostat, sometimes this can be normal but saying as you think its not hot enough, check you have the settings correct on the heater options, i have seen stranger things happen test element contacts for both circuits unplug machine first
