The dryer wont heat up the clothes dont get dry everything eles works on it the drum turns ok the timer works also it just wont dry the clothes

The controller circuit has failed and needs to be replaced. The alternative is to do what you are doing.

ihave a crosley ele. dryer works will not heat take out the drum or take the belt loss and it heats

If the vent and the heat are fine then the only other thing that could be going bad is the timer motor. The timer motor tells the dryer how long to heat the clothes.

I would be REALLY suspicious of the exhaust vent. If the dryer is heating up and the drum is turning, it has to dry the clothes UNLESS there is no air going through the dryer. Disconnect the air outlet flexible plastic duct at the back of the unit, and turn it on. If there is no or very little air coming out, the inside of the unit will be plugged with lint. If there is lots of air coming out, the exhaust duct or the outside flapper will be plugged. Sometimes if the exhaust is routed through a cold space there will be so much condensation in the duct that it will droop and literally fill up with water.

sounds like start switch on motor bad.

ok so you have some heat.your dryer unless an ge one has one element so if you have heat its working.then what you have is an exust problem.once you heat up the clothes and cause the moisture to evaporate then it must be able to leave the dryer or it reclings to the clothes,hence lond dry times.to test this dry a load with the venting undone and the dryer pulled out.dont worry it wont start a fire/never!its about 180 degress to 130 of moist air. if ok then confirms that venting is blocked.some times dryers get blocked internaly also but do the other first.God bless,tom

Well if the element and limits are ok and it runs ok then you need a new timer. If you don't have the money you could clean the contacts in the timer if they are not completely burnt up. Find the heavy wire coming from the heat source to the timer. Remove it and check for continuity between that point and any other leg on the timer. Move the know to different positions. If you have no reading then the timer is toast!
