Common Symptoms
- No heat or weak heat during a heated cycle
- Clothes take unusually long to dry
- Dryer overheats or shuts off prematurely
- Heating element has a visible break, burn mark, or damaged coil
- Circuit breaker trips when the dryer operates
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect electrical power before inspection or testing.
- Confirm the dryer is set to a heated cycle rather than an air-fluff or no-heat setting.
- Visually inspect the heating coil for breaks, burn marks, or distortion after safely accessing the assembly according to the dryer’s service documentation.
- With power disconnected and the element removed or isolated as specified by the service documentation, check the element for electrical continuity using an appropriate meter; an open/infinite reading indicates a failed element.
- Inspect the lint filter and exhaust path for blockage because restricted airflow can contribute to overheating and extended drying times.
Pro Tip
If the element has failed, inspect and clean the lint filter and exhaust path and verify adequate airflow before returning the dryer to regular use; restricted airflow can contribute to repeat heating-system failures.
