If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working properly.

if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip....

If you have an electric dryer, you can have many different things that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat.

check out this electric no heat tip...

You didn't mention if the dryer is getting hot.


If is getting hot, then shutting off, I agree with you.

If it is NOT getting hot, I would suspect the IGNITER ASSY

its likley to be one of your heaters has burned out, it has two one for low heat one for high heat on low only one works,,, both work for high heat

might wont to try greasing rollers and tension pulley.the rollers may need replaced or even the tension pulley.

Check in the back of the unit and make sure that the elements are heating up and glowing red, this is the way that the clothes dry. You will ned to remove the back panel or tilt it up very high so you can see under the dryer

make sure the vent is cleared ,sometimes all of cust / think they clean out but instead make clogg even worse,,, repl/coils remove 2 screews 1/4 in from botom panel heating coils are black in color simple fix,,,,,,,,

what's the brand name and model number?

I have a Whirlpool dryer with LP gas, 7 1/2 years old. It will fire up once or twice after started then the next time it is supposed to fire it will make a buzzing sound. No heat. It will not produce heat after this until it sits for awhile then the same thing, will fire once or twice then no more. I replaced the ignitor and this did not solve the problem although it did have a consistent firing for about 3 minutes immediately after I replaced the part. then it started buzzing again and would not fire anymore. The propane line doesn't appear to be the problem either since it will work initially. Also the gas water heater in the house works fine.

If the venting is clogged this will happen. And that is a good thing because it is a safety measure built in to prevent fires. There is a thermostat that can tell when your dryer is over-heating,(usually caused by clogged venting by lint) and this devise tells the heating element to turn off so as not to create a fire. Clean out venting, inspect thermostats and element, replace if neccesary. You may only have to clean out the venting.

Dryer heats but will not dry clothes. Uncloged linted in screen and where the tube is. Did not fix the promblem. Could it be the heating element? And if so what is the cost to replace it?
