Just ran into this today while drying clothes. Everything works fine otherwise, just no heat.

Read up on this a bit, seems it could be a heat fuse (but the ventillation seems fine) or the heating element itself.

Anyone have experience with diagnosing the actual problem (fuse or element) and fixing it? Looks like you pretty much have to take the dryer apart to get to those parts.

Element. It’s what happened with my dryer and an easy fix. Pull the element and you’ll be able to indetify pretty quickly if it’s the culprit.

I've used repair clinic to diagnose and find part numbers that I usually order from Amazon for my washer and dryer (about 25 years old). I've had the element as well as the thermal fuse go out within the past 5 years.

I had this problem once, and it was bc the breaker was just barely making contact. Flip your breaker completely off and then back on. Do not try eye test.

Also, it's highly unlikely to be just the heating element, and they'r easy to test if you have a multimeter.

Check your vent line for lint. There are goob vids t change your element. Tok me about 45 minutes to change out. th
