Dryer worked great yesterday , today no heat - Crosley CDE6000 Electric Dryer

have you checked the ignitor?

Hi,
If you have a gas dryer.
The most common problem with a gas and no heat is the ignitor going bad...

Here is a tip that I wrote about that problem...

Check your house fuse/circuit breaker panel. The dryer runs off 2 circuits -one for heat and one for the motor.

Looking for the two circuit breakers or fuses since this is a 220 dryer that would need two 110 inputs.

If you have a access to an AC voltmeter, measure the two slanted connections in the wall socket for ~220 volts. If near zero, measure at the load side of the dual breakers for the same voltage. If still at or near zero, one of the breakers has gone south. Replace the pair of breakers.
If you measured 220 volts as above, then the problem is within the dryer--probably a burned out heating element or open thermal fuse. Major tear-down to find and fix as the heating element is behind the drum.

change the fuse in back of the dryer

Hi,
This could be caused by an internal thermal overload switch. These usually have a limited life span in any appliance that uses heating elements. Try to locate the overload switch which usually looks like a small diode or resistor. You can determine if this is the cause by bridging the switch with a piece of wire, then trying the dryer once more.

Your limit switch has tripped. You will find this small switch near the burner that is the size of a dime. Press the small button between the wires firmly to reset it.

sounds like the heating element has gone south
if you open up the dryer you can check continuity across the element but make sure power is unplugged
