Dryer drum tumbles but produces no heat — burned-out heating coil breaks the circuit entirely, causing cold air only.
Clothes require multiple cycles to dry; a partially failed coil cannot reach or sustain target drum temperature.
A shorted or intermittently failing element causes the thermal protection circuit to cut power before the cycle completes.
A shorted element coil may produce heat continuously even after the thermostat signals it to stop, causing excessive drum temperatures.
Arcing at a cracked coil or contact with the housing generates a distinct burning odor during operation.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Diagnose a Faulty Heating Element
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Dryer runs but produces no heat – drum tumbles cold
⚠️ Clothes take two or more cycles to dry completely
⚠️ Dryer overheats or shuts off mid-cycle unexpectedly
⚠️ Burning smell from the drum area during operation
🔍 Use a multimeter set to continuity mode: test each terminal of the element to the case. If you get continuity from a terminal to the metal housing, the element is shorted and must be replaced. Also check for a visible break in the coil wire. Always verify the thermal fuse on the blower housing first – a blown fuse is the #1 cause of no-heat calls and may have been triggered by a failing element.
