The dryer is not heating up. It is a hot and cold fill so the washing machine works okay as long as I only do up to a 40 degree wash. If I wash in more than 40 degrees there is a high pitched noise. Also the dryer is making the same noise but does not heat up at all. Can you please help.

I just had Sears Kenmore come out to my house because dryer drum turned, but did not heat up. It was a circuit breaker. My dryer has two voltages, 110 for the drum and 220 for the heater. It was 110.00 for me to learn to press the circuit breaker. I hope this helps you. Karen

The manual is not redundant. In other words it shows the cold info and not the hot. However if you look at the entire manual it shows both functions and starting on page 10 shows the hot wash sequence of events.
If your washing machine will not fill, only hot or cold will fill or is slow tofill then read these tips. I have covered many of the things that can happen inthese tips...
If you want to connect up a washing machine that uses hot and cold water but you only have a cold water supply (such as in a basement or garage) you can use a Y Piece connector to connect the hot and cold fill hoses to a single cold water supply (external link to 4Washerhelp spares). The washing machine will then work OK. Simply screw the Y-Piece onto the tap, and then screw the hot and cold fill hoses to the Y-piece and connect the other end of the fill hoses to the washing machine. (You may also be able to buy this part from a DIY store like B&Q) If you don't connect a water supply to the hot valve (and simply connect the cold water hose to the cold valve leaving the hot valve with nothing connected to it) then some wash programs may not work as some programmes only fill with hot water. However, some washing machines will work OK with only the cold fill hose connected. You can always try it and see. The worse that will happen is the washer could either stick on the odd wash programme or may abort on some. If you do this though it's possible for water to drip out of the hot valve on some machines during fill. It's best to use a y-piece if possible.
The fact that you have connected cold water to the hot valve is irrelevant, the washing machine will not know any different and will just heat the water up to the correct temperature. The washing machine may use slightly more electricity but if it's less than 10 years old it shouldn't be significant unless you use a lot of 60 or 90 degree washes. On 40 degree washes, manufacturers argue it's more efficient to fill with cold water only and slowly heat up the water to 40 degrees.

to find if this is a cold fill machine only, just check the back and see how many hoses are fitted to it.I would assume it is cold fill and the problem is within the heater.
it sounds like the hot water supply hose on the back inlet water valve is not opening up,to check it switch the hoses,cold on hot,and hot on cold,put the washer on fill cold,if hot water comes out you know it's the water valve-mike
