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...

I just replaced the fuses and thermostat and heating element in my Kenmore dryer but when I turn it on the back starts to turn red and it starts smoking ? Could wires just be crossed

That is more indicative of a fan failure. The element is supposed to get hot, but the fan blows the heat through the clothes and cools the element at the same time.

Dryer is not heating, only blowing cool air

Its best to take it to an appliance repair man. This is usually an electrical problem related the the board or the relays behind the control panel. Beware though, sometimes its cheaper to buy a new one than fix the old. Hope this helps.

Hi

Things that could stop a gas dryer from heating:
