Nothing is more frustrating than pulling a load of laundry out of the dryer only to find it’s still soaking wet and cold. If your dryer is spinning but won’t get hot, you don’t always need to run out and buy a new one. Often, a simple repair can save you hundreds of dollars.
Here are the most common reasons your dryer has lost its heat:
-
A Tripped Circuit Breaker: Sometimes it’s not the dryer at all! Dryers use two 120-volt lines. If one trips, the drum might still spin, but the heat won’t kick in. Check your electrical panel first.
-
Blown Thermal Fuse: This is a safety feature designed to prevent fires. If your dryer gets too hot, the fuse “blows” to shut down the heat. If this happens, it’s usually a sign that your vent is clogged.
-
Clogged Dryer Vents: When lint builds up in the vent line, the air can’t escape. This causes the dryer to overheat and eventually stops the heating element from working properly.
-
Burnt Out Heating Element: Over time, the coils that produce heat can simply break or burn out, especially in older or refurbished models.
