I am looking for a manual for a hotpoint dryer. It is about 10 years old. Model number NWXR473EV0WW. It is not heating.
If drum turns and no heat.
If unit is electric, look for:
1. Safety tripped or malfunctioned at heater elements.
2. Burnt out element. Wire has come loose or burnt off due to loose connection.
3. Clogged or restricted exhaust. This causes a safety to activate and stops the heating process.
4.Timer malfunction and needs replaced.
5. Improper voltage to unit. Reset breaker and verify proper voltage to unit. (Usually between 208 to 240 volts depending where you are located and the manufacturer of the unit.
Please keep in mind that in many cases, it is cheaper to buy a new unit that it is to repair the exsisting one. Do you homework on this. I've gotten real good dryers at about $200 from places like Lowes.
Hope this helps and let me know how things work out.
