Dryer was not heating up yesterday ...but working this morning ???? second time this has happened ....

There is a small silver rod situated in the flame at the last burner. This rod tells the board the flames are lit. Clean it in place with a piece of sandpaper or emory cloth and see if that doesnt solve your problem

Same thing just happened to my DEGX1. I took it apart and one of the heating elements had broken and fell to the bottom of the metal case. I think it was creating a short to ground and making it heat. I removed the broken element wires and attached them back best I could and did a test run with no problems. It is not heating when off now either. searspartsdirect.com had the elements for $67 so I ordered a set and will replace both of them (part #395583). My dryer is only 4 years old and 3 weeks ago the driver belt broke. Irritating they can't make them last any longer these days.

Remove back of dryer and take out the elament shield and replace element don't over strech it start at one side and work it around thank you for useing fixya rate me

look for the little white fuse on the back on the blower housing. to check it just for a second.....you can connect the two little blue wires that are on the little white fuse just to see if that's it..but just for a second to test. DO NOT permanently bypass the fuse. also unclogg your venting :)

check your heating element with a ohm meter.

mcwilliams if you pull the over off the front of the dryer at the bottom you can see the gas burner assy. Put the dryer on time dry and start the dryer, you should see a glow from the ignitor, then hear a click, then the heat come on. In the auto dry mode, the timer advances along with the dryness level. No heat, No timer advancing. If you don't see a glow, there should be a thermosat on the heater can, see if it is tripped. If so if it is resetable, reset then try again. You may have a bad ignitor.

Probably, you are hearing the motor turning. The belt likely broke.

the problem might be the start switch itself. if the switch is going bad it could have either a carbon buildup on the contacs preventing it from starting (unlikely) or the contacs are wearing out and it is more hit or miss if it will start. as time goes on the problem will get wose

Do any lights stay on or blink if so make sure the printwheel is in correctly, make sure the ribbon and correction tape cassetts are installed correctly, Turn the typewriter off wait 30 seconds then turn it back on if the same thing happens try another printwheel if the same thing happens take in in for repairs.
