SOURCE: Kenmore dryer will turn but no heat

Take the back off your dryer andcheck the ohms on your heating element, thermostat and fuse. The Element is inside a metal case the terminals are accessable. The fuse and thermostat are mounted on the same case.

SOURCE: Dryer Heats for 30 Minutes then stops heating

Hello there :
what you are going to want to do is to troubleshoot the heating circuit
if you have a multimeter
there is a thermal Cut-Out switch that is connected to the heater box.) -simply unplug wires and take reading from the end connetors
your reading should be 0 ohms. and nothing else
Next check
a part called the Hi-Limit Thermostat that is connected to the heater box, it should be located closest to the heating element wire leads unplug the wires and take the reading across the 2 wire connections . this should give you a reading of 0 ohms and nothing else.
Now if any of these 2 parts are not in this range they need to be replaced and i would recommend that you replace them as a set cause if one usually goes out then the other one will soon follow ok

I hope this is very helpful for you
Best regards Michael

Bosch Maxx7 sensitive - WTV74100ME/15 - stop after 1 minute , 3 beeps all the time , flushing lights together for heat and open door icon.

The issue you are experiencing with your Bosch Maxx7 sensitive dryer could indeed be related to a faulty heat sensor or a clogged vent. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
  1. Check the vent: Ensure that the dryer vent hose is not clogged or blocked. A blocked vent can prevent hot air from circulating in the dryer and trigger the overheat sensor to shut down the machine.
  2. Clean the lint filter: Remove the lint filter and clean it thoroughly. A clogged lint filter can also cause the dryer to overheat and shut down.
  3. Check the heating element: If the heating element is faulty, the dryer may not heat properly or may overheat and trigger the sensor to shut down the machine.
  4. Reset the machine: Turn off the power to the dryer for a few minutes and then turn it back on. This may reset the machine and resolve the issue.
If none of these troubleshooting steps resolve the issue, it may be best to contact a qualified technician to inspect and repair the machine.

Dryer stops tumbling, but heating element stays on

Usually when an electric dryer overheats it's because of a defective cycling thermostat or a clogged vent system. Clean any lint from the internal and external ductwork, and/or replace the cycling thermostat

Samsung Dryer dv203aes/xac will not heat. Drum is rotating and lint was cleared from exhaust.

Check the following:
1. Does it have 220 volts (yes it runs, but dryers run on 110 volts)?
2. Check the heating element and the safety thermostats located on the heat element canister. Low air flow from any restriction like lint build up or mashed ducting or blocked air exhaust vent cap can either trip the safety stats or burn out the element. Clean dryer and exhaust ducting thoroughly and replace bad parts before placing back in service. Poor air flow is the number one problem with "No Heat" dryer issues.

Dryer heats in a 'no heat' selection

it sounds like you have a grounded heat element and the heat will stay on all the time,very easy to check,unplug the dryer,pull the two wires off of the heat element,with a meter touch one lead to the outside metal cover of the heater and the other lead to one of the element,then check the other side of the element the same way,if it shows continuity on one end of the element it's grounded and needs to be replaced with a new heating element.and every year or 18 months you have to clean out the dryer,i use a shop vac and a leaf blower,unplug the dryer,remove the bottom panel,remove the lint filter and the metal duct that the filter slides into,vac up all the lint you can see,brush out the hole where the filter goes and with a long thin screw driver dig out the lint that's in the right and left sides of the plastic slots where the filter slides in,now with the shop vac set it to blow and blow all the lint from the back forwards and blow the motor off and vac up the lint,after you clean out the cabinet go to the back and remove the vent line from the dryer,stick the leaf blower into the vent line and blow it out to the outside,if you do this every year you'll have less problems with the dryer,your clothes will dry on time and you don't have to worry about a dryer fire.

Dyer will not heat

Sounds like an open heating element issue. If you have two sensors for internal temps, the chances of both going bad at same time are remote.
Locate the element wiring and disconnect from circuit and do a simple continuity test. Chances are that it is burnt out or open.

Maytag Neptune Dryer runs for about 10 minutes and then stops. If we hit the start button it will run for another 10 minutes. It heats up fine while it is running. When this started we smelled something...

Check for lint buildup on the "Hi Limit Themostat" located above the heating element. There is a thermostat kit that you can get and replace all three at once. This will make sure your dryer runs safe and up to its required operational limits. The lint buildup may cause the thermostats to get out of the tolerance. Here is a link to the thermostat kit.

Heat only works for a minute and then the heat stops

There is a thermostat that regulates temperature. Your dryer MIGHT be overheating. Check your lint filter, vent, and vent hose for blockage first. If not, it might be time to replace the heating element.

Whirlpool Model LE7010XSNO. No Heat After Lint Cleaned Out

Those are likely possibilities. Also check the wiring for disconnected or burned terminals especially in areas that get hot. The element comes out easily to visually check it for breaks. If that's OK I'd look at the safety thermostat.
