If your dryer is running but you have no heat being produced from the unit this could be caused by several reasons. In your unit there are are thermistors which allow the unit to run and act as safety devices so that the unit does not overheat and cause a fire or overheat causeing extensive damage to the unit. Your unit also has a hi limit and a low limit thermistor in it as well which tell the unit to shut the heater off due to it being to hot or turn the heater on due to it not being hot enough. In order to test these thermistors you would perform a continuity test on them using a multimeter and any that were to fail you would replace. You can also perform this same continuity test on the heater as well to assure the heater is functioning properly as well. If you are able to produce your model number I most likely will be able to find your schematic to your unit showing you where the thermistors are that you would test in the unit. Also if you have any other questions message me those back as well.I await your reply Thanks Rick

Dryer running but not heating. How do I check heating element?

Check the following to address this non heating issue



1. No power to the dryer
Make sure there's power getting to the dryer. Check for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses. An electric dryer uses two circuit breakers or fuses, and if only one of two is tripped or blown, the dryer might still run but not heat. Sometimes the power cord disconnects or burns at the dryer, if this is the case, the wiring and the terminal block must be repaired or replaced.

2. Heating element
A burned out heating element will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Replace the element if found defective.

3. Thermal fuse
Most dryers have a thermal fuse, which burns out when the dryer overheats, in which case the dryer will either not run at all or stop heating. The fuse is usually located on the vent duct, inside the dryer. A blown fuse will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Before replacing the fuse, make sure the blower wheel is not broken or clogged, and there is nothing blocking the venting.
