    runs but i cant get any hot air

  • Anonymous Jan 02, 2009

    We get a little heat if we use the 2 lower settings but as soon as we try to use the 2 higher settings, we get no heat at all. What could the problem be and is it easy to fix by yourself?

I had the same problem. The heating element is most likely broken. It is an easy fix and costs about $75-$100

Where is the thermal fuse on a series 80 kenmore electric dryer. will this act as though the power is off? How can i test the fuse?
Yes, but there are several thermal limiters, they should reset when the unit cools, so likely that is not what is happening.... Forcefully turn the breaker FULLY off, and then back on, and test again...

The thermal limiters are located along the air flow path, typically downstream of your burner, the purpose is to prevent overheating and fire. These limiters stop the HEATING element and not the drum motor...

Kenmore dryer Part# 8562458 Series 80. not heating, glow bar is not getting hot.
Often a dryer heating element burns out, but doesn't trip the circuit breaker or blow a fuse. The heating element is simply a long coil of special wire. You can check it for continuity with an ohm meter. No continuity means the element is bad and you need to replace it--electric heating elements aren't repairable. On many dryers, there's a thermal fuse mounted to the exhaust duct inside the back cover panel. The fuse--which is about an inch long--is usually embedded in black resin and mounted in a white plastic housing. If the fuse has blown, you need to replace it. (You can't re-set it.)
