Hi Lorna:
It's quite possible that some lint or dust got dislodged during the move and got on the heating element.
As long as you know that the exhaust is correctly connected, you could probably safely do a "test" run without much concern.
Stay with the machine and be prepared to turn it off if the smell persists.

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...

your evaporator coil in the freezer behind a panel has iced over and the fabn can't move air over a solid sheet of ice,remove the panel,defrost it with a hair dryer,then check the defrost heating element and defrost thermostat under the coil and defrost control in the refrige section for proper operation

Your dryer belt may be worn out, the tension pulley may be bound up from being worn out, or the motor itself could be weak.If you smell a little hot rubber when the dryer is turned on (with clothes in it) then the belt is most likely bad, or the tension pulley is bad.

check the dryer outlet and make sure you have 220 volts.

is the heat working?when the dryer heats up and then the heat will shut off then the timer advances,when the heat turns back on the timer stops,heat shuts off the timer will move again,if the heat is working you could have a bad timer

actuator not working remove glove box. and watch the bar move the flap in the ac duct as u turn the heat up and down give it a few extra seconds to start moving. if that dosent work try checking anny fuses that control the curcit

This is a common problem. Dryer timers are advanced by a motor that turns gears and moves the dial (and internal switching) forward. The timer needs to be repaired or replaced. More than likely the latter since most timers are riveted together and cannot be repaired (unless you're someone who can put a geared jigsaw puzzle back together without any instructions since they normally fall to pieces when opened). I have tried to repair some timers and have been marginally successful, but to have a piece of mind, order the part, have it replaced (wire for wire when the unit is unplugged from the wall). If the timers look different, it is still possible that they gave you the correct timer. Verify that the new and the old timers have the same letter and number markings on each of the wires.

It is best to label the wires as you remove them from the old timer with a piece of tape and a sharp pointed marker. That way there is no question which wire is which.

Hope that helps you.

john there is only one heating element.ither it works or it dosent.when acustomer complains of low heat or long dry times 99out of100 its the venting or the dryer is blocked with lint.remove the dryer from the venting and try a load.if better clean house venting.you .........if not better you should have a great air flow leaving the dryer so if not drying well with venting off.take dryer apart a clean all araes that air is moving,where lint can block that flow.god bless .tom
