May be heater coil, located inside machine on back right side. unplug dryer, open dryer door and remove screws, with a flat tip screw drive gently pry on each top corner till it pops off, gently move panel forward and disconnect door switch. sit panel aside, lift top all the way up it is clipped on the back so it will not fall off. look to the back and right and the coil looks like a spring, it is easy to change, all you need to do is will the make and model call a appliance store and they can tell the price for a new one. good luck tim
First check to see that the exhaust venting line is clear (not full of
lint) as well as the path in the dryer to the line. This is the most
common cause of no heat.
For electric dryer:
Second set the knob to heat turn on dryer
with the lights off and the door open but the "open door" switch so that
it still rotates with the door open. Look at the back of the rotating
drum for a orange/red glow behind the drum (the heater coils). If there
is no glow the heater coils are probably broken.
As the dryers age,
the amount of thermal cycles the heater elements go through until the
point when the coil wire breaks. There usually two heater coils behind
the rotating drum (one hotter than the other and when combined the
hottest heat temperature setting. You will need to pop open the top
where you see the belt that turns the drum. Remove the front panels
(several screws and then it it slides up and out. The belt is removed
from the
spring loaded tensioner pulley at the base of the dryer. Then you can
lift the drum out to get to the heater coils. Since no heat, both should
be broken and will require replacement.
