Won't heat up and doesn't shut off - Dryers

CHECK HEATING ELEMENTS

hi 1st check heater for breaks then go for stats

Sounds like tank to big for heater

Electrician has miswired the car or didn't properly repair the short. Very hard to know what he did wrong. Will he not fix it himself?

Check the coolant level...if it's low the heater core in the car won't make heat.

Does the fan work?

The coils on the gas assembly get IFFY with age. They work a little then get hot and quit. My Video

Chances are that if the fan isn't working then its over heating and shutting down. Check to make sure there is no dust or pet hair clogging it up. If there is then try and clean it out with compressed air. If there is no obstruction then the fan may have died on you. Only thing to do is look into getting a new fan or take it to a repair shop.


Best of luck
