Dryer not heating? Here’s what to check
When your dryer is running but your clothes are still coming out damp, it’s super frustrating. A dryer that’s not heating is a common issue, but there are a few usual suspects you can check before calling in the pros.
Step-by-step guide to diagnose the problem:
1. Check the heating element
Inspect the heating element for visible damage and replace if necessary.
2. Inspect the thermal fuse
This safety device can blow if your dryer overheats, cutting off the heat. Test or replace the fuse as needed.
3. Clean the venting system
A clogged dryer vent can prevent your dryer from heating. Clean it thoroughly to restore proper airflow.
4. Check the thermostat
If the element and fuse are fine, the thermostat may be the problem and could need testing or replacing.
Pro tip
Regularly clean your lint filter after every load and inspect the venting system at least once a year to prevent overheating and keep your dryer running smoothly.
