Hi Johnny, thank you for your post!

Based on the symptoms you are describing, it sounds like your dryer possibly has a faulty motor or an item is jammed in the blower wheel. Regrettably, this is not a simple DIY job. I would strongly recommend connecting with a professional to narrow down the precise issue before investing in parts that may or may not be the root cause. You can often locate a qualified service provider through the manufacturer website.

Best regards!

Good Afternoon John, let's try reprogramming the dryer by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker to the off position. It is important to wait approximately ten minutes and then unit the dryer back on. If it proves to be ineffective, then the dryer may possibly be experiencing more serious issues such as; a potential wiring failure, faulty control board, thermal limiter, or defective door switch. Because it could be a number of any one of several underlying causes, I would recommend contacting a professional to properly diagnose and repair the unit.

Hi
You have excess lint built up in your machine.

Pull out lint filter and with the aid of a brush gently clean inside of the cavity where your lint filter fits into. There is a little sensor in there which once it gets clogged it will register that message.

E50 code is for a motor issue or main PCB fault on the motor output side (also called E51 when the triac that is on the main control board normally shorts out due to a faulty motor).

Not easy to diagnose as a diy job, but you need to find out if the drum rotates correctly when fully loaded. Could check this CODE LIST

Hope this helps.

Hi,

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...

looks like dodgy thermostat,all the thermostats should be changed due to the intermittant nature of the fault

Check the dryer dual breakers in your house electrical panel--push off, then on. Try the dryer again. If still no heat, measure the voltage at the dryer socket with a voltmeter across the two slanted slots. It should read ~220 volts AC if correct. If zero, one of the breakers is bad or there is a loose wire between the breaker and the dryer socket. If you read the required voltage, then the problem is within the dryer--likely the heating element. The drum must be removed to access the element.
