Top Reasons Electric Dryer Not Heating — Dryer Troubleshooting

Not a very helpful video.

Very good

A good simple answer, I only wish a human was speaking

Have a dryer that the element won't heat. When you turn it on plugged in 120v reaches the element fine when you turn the dryer on heat and turn it on. The thermal switches have no resistance when turned off as they should. The element tests good as it has 10 ohm resistance and does not short to ground. There's no apparent physical problem with the element. There's a light blue wire running down towards the motor that seems to have a short to ground but I'm not sure if that's normal being it goes to the motor windings. Seems like I remember that motor wires will show a short to ground. The motor works great. Is there some way that the element could actually be bad anyway? What would be your recommendation to do in this situation? How can the element test good, have 120v going to it, but not heat? Anyone have a clue if the element is bad anyway or is there something else that could cause this?

Mine stopped heating after my mother used it while visiting. I'm super upset. That's why I don't like people to touch my stuff.

I clean my vents 2 time's a year

Thanks! I need to learn how do to this. I'd give you more but I can't.

I had this issue with a brand new dryer. I flipped the circuit breaker off and then flipped it back on and it worked. Easiest fix of my life.
It’s as if I did a “hard reset” on it. Weird, but it worked.

Got my dryer working again. It's all your fault. 😊

All kidding aside, your content is still very beneficial to other folks. 🤘🏾

Great video - I appreciate you sharing this. Quick question: with testing the outlet, do you need to cut the power before doing that, to avoid getting electrocuted? Excuse my ignorance, but I always thought sticking stuff in electrical outlets was dangerous.

Perfect.

thanks fuse bad dryer now working

Just took apart and discovered the problem was the heating element. Thank you for this video and for providing the link to find the part. I just bought it and saved a lot of money getting a whole new dryer!

If it explodes while I’m using the multimeter what do I do

8 Years later (2024/06/23) . . and this video is still a goldmine of invaluable data.
Thank you.

Cool. Can’t wait to buy all these tools to tell me what’s wrong to pay someone to come fix it because I’m a single woman not an electrician 🙄

How do you get to the thermo fuse and heating element on LG?
