Dryer runs and drum spins but produces no heat — the coil has an open break in the wire, preventing current from flowing through the heating circuit.
Clothes require multiple cycles to dry completely due to insufficient heat output from a partially failed or weakened element coil.
Exhaust vent blows room-temperature air even while dryer is running, indicating the heating element coil is no longer generating heat.
Dryer gets excessively hot and does not cycle off at temperature — element coil has shorted against the metal housing, causing continuous uncontrolled heating.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Diagnose a Failed Dryer Heating Element
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Dryer runs normally but produces no heat — drum spins, timer counts down, but clothes stay wet
⚠️ Clothes take two or more cycles to dry — element generating insufficient heat
⚠️ No warm air from the exhaust vent despite the dryer running
⚠️ Dryer overheats continuously — element shorted against the housing causing runaway heat
🔬 Diagnosis tip: Disconnect power and use a multimeter set to continuity/Ohms across the two element terminals. A good coil reads closed (continuity). Open = broken coil, replace it. Also test each terminal to the metal housing — any continuity there means the coil is shorted to ground and must be replaced immediately to avoid a fire hazard.
