If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heatingthe most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glowssometimes it is still not working properly.
if you dryer is gas check out this

The dryer is taking a long time to dry and water
Hello there:
Note: Normal drying time for a dryer
is about 45 minutes (some may take up to an hour).
1. Venting
Make sure the dryer vent hose, as well as the rest of the vent duct,
is not clogged.
Unless regular maintenance is performed, chances are there is a lot
of lint accumulated inside the dryer. This might affect the drying
time and could be a fire hazard. Make sure to have your dryer
cleaned regularly. Because this might involve taking most of the
dryer apart, it is recommended to have a qualified appliance
repairman perform this task.
2. Thermostat
There are a couple of cycling thermostats inside the dryer. If one
of them breaks down, it might affect the dryer's performance.
Replace the defective thermostat.

My drier kicks out hot air, but does not tumble.
The top flips up by depressing two clips with a putty knife about 2 in. from either side between the top and front . With the top back you should see the belt around the drum. To replace the front must be removed.
Dryer works perfectly except there is no heat to
First check your venting if all is clear It could be several other things thermal fuse, thermal cut out, hi limit thermostat, dryer coils, heat sensor,or igniter. All of these parts are inexpensive and easy to test and replace.There is a video at www.appliancehelponline.com/servicemanual.html this will walk you thru the troubleshooting of these components. It may be a different model but the troubleshooting will be the same.You can also enter your model # for diagrams and illustrations. Not all models are available. If you need help disassembling your machine there are videos of this also for most styles.

The belt can be replaced as follows.
1 remove top and front of dryer shell
2 belt goes around drum around motor pully then under tentioner wheel
3 replace front and top of dryer
(top pops off use a slotted screw driver)

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.
MCSDRY1S Portable Magic Chef Dryer not heating up? Think it’s the thermal fuse but can’t find it.
first off the thermal fuse would shut the machine down completely..
check these instead
ELECTRICDryer no heat or little heat, or shuts down to fast:
Checkyour venting and lint basket. Check blower for lint build up and blower wheel obstruction., test by trying to turn the wheel manually by hand (should be easy) May have to remove cabinet or front/back plate to get to it)
Next check the heating element itself with a meter for continuityit should showOHMS CLOSED CIRCUIT. If not its defectiveor has a short if its grounding out? Which in turns causes blown fuses or thermostats or
overheating.
The heating elements are located inside the heater ducts. If you think a heating element is faulty, test it with avolt-ohm-multimeter(VOM)set to the RX1 scaleat 20K ohms. Disconnect the leads from the power terminals and clip one probe of the VOM to each terminal. The meter should read about 12. (1200)ohms.If the reading is higherohms, the heater is faulty and should be replaced. Replace a faulty heater with a new one of the same type and electrical rating. A heater connected to a 115-volt line usually has an 8.4-ohm resistance; a heater connected to a 220-volt line usually has 11 ohms resistance.
Check dryer Terminal block prongs both outside prongs should give combined 220, and 110 each if u check 1 outside & 1 center (ground) prong. Also check house electrical outlet for full voltage. 220 because if u only get half or 110 volts you will be able to run the machine which uses only 110 to run motor but not the heater which uses a full 220,OR?you may have a broken centrifugal switch in the motor because this switch activates the motor and the heater as well. supposedto be if the motor does not run, the heater should not heat in order not to createafire but ifthe motor is not running,andthe heater is still heating, then there could be a problem with the motor centrifugal switch that is connected to this interlock switch that should trigger the heater.
Check the thermal cut off, the cycling and the hi limit thermostats.
For continuity or OHMS. If no ohms or resistance they need replacement.
In somedryer'sthecontrol panel relies on athermistorrather than aCYCLING thermostatto regulate the drum's air temperature by monitoring the component's resistance changes; resistance goes down as temperature increases and up when temperature decreases. Once the drum's air temperature reaches a certain level required to dry clothes, the control panel shuts off the heater. The panel will turn the heater on again and begin another heating cycle when thethermistorindicates that more heat is needed to keep the air temperature constant inside the drumthis is why in some cases the dryer will operate at lower cycles like gentle or low heat but not at higher settings?)
Lastly check your moister sensor.( located inside the dryer door usually) Especially if machine seems to shutdown early and clothesare still wet.
Test with a meterat room temperatureand it should show continuity.
A failed moisture sensor will affect the dryer run timein the automatic moisture sensing cyclebut it will not affect the heatingof the dryer or the timed cycle.Which are reflected by the thermostats.
