- Check the Power Supply:
- Ensure that your dryer is receiving proper power. Use a multimeter to test the wall plug. You should have two poles giving 110-120 volts each and a ground. If only one side is hot and the other is not, you could have issues.
- Common Causes for Dryer Not Starting:
- Let's explore some common reasons why your dryer might not start:
- Thermal Fuse: The thermal fuse is a safety device that protects the dryer from overheating. If it's blown, the dryer won't start. Test it for continuity using a multimeter Check your exhaust vent for restrictions..
- Start Switch: If the dryer hums but doesn't start, the start switch might be faulty. Test it for continuity with a multimeter.
- Door Switch: The door switch activates when the dryer door is closed. Listen for a "click" when you start the dryer. If you don't hear it, test the door switch for continuity.
- Door Switch Solution:
- If the door switch isn't "clicking," it might be the culprit. Try this:
- Push the length of the switch from side to side (without removing it) to see if it clicks.
- If it clicks, it's likely not defective.
- Reassemble the dryer to see if it works.
Remember to
safely disconnect the power before attempting any repairs. If these steps don't resolve the issue, consider seeking professional assistance or further diagnostics

Magic Chef Dryer MCSDRY35W Compact Dryer turns on with heat and then shuts off within 5 minutes. Started today. The only things I have done are look up poblem on line and looked at potential prices.
problem:
Check the Ventilation: Ensure that the dryer's exhaust vent is not blocked or obstructed. Proper ventilation is crucial for efficient drying and preventing overheating. Clear any lint buildup or debris from the vent.
Overheating Protection: The dryer may be shutting off due to overheating. Check if the unit feels excessively hot during operation. If it does, the thermal fuse or thermostat might be tripping. These safety features prevent the dryer from overheating. If they are faulty, the dryer will shut down. You may need to replace them.
Load Size and Type: Make sure you're not overloading the dryer. Excessive load can strain the motor and cause it to shut off. Also, consider the fabric type. Delicate fabrics might trigger the safety features if the heat is too high.
Power Supply and Cord: Confirm that the dryer is properly plugged into a grounded outlet. Check the power cord for any damage or loose connections. Avoid using extension cords, as they can affect performance.
Timer and Settings: Verify that the timer is set correctly. If the timer runs out, the dryer will stop. Also, ensure you've selected the appropriate heat setting (low, medium, or high) based on the fabric type.
User Manual: Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on operating and troubleshooting your dryer.
If the issue persists after checking these points, consider contacting Magic Chef Customer Service at 1-888-775-0202 for further assistance.
Haier gas dryer rdg350aw won't heat up
Let's troubleshoot this issue and find a compatible heating element.
Check the Igniter: The igniter is responsible for lighting the gas burner. If it's faulty, the dryer won't heat. Inspect the igniter for any visible cracks or damage. If needed, replace it.
Thermal Fuse: The thermal fuse is a safety device that cuts off power to the heating element if the dryer overheats. Check if the thermal fuse is blown (no continuity). If so, replace it.
Gas Valve Solenoids: These solenoids control the gas flow to the burner. If they're defective, the dryer won't heat. Test them for continuity using a multimeter. Replace if necessary.
Heating Element: Since you specifically asked about the heating element, let's focus on that. The compatible heating element for your Haier gas dryer model RDG350AW is the Haier Dryer Heating Element (Genuine OEM Part # WE11X27362). You can find it online or at appliance parts stores.

I need to find a light kit for a harbor breeze
You should be able to pick these up at Lowes if I'm not mistaken. I just bought a Harbor Breeze ceiling fan from there and saw the light kits around the same area. I also believe that, you dont necessarily have to get a Harbor Breeze light kit and that some are interchangeable.Hope this helps some.
