Dryer Not Heating — San Francisco, California
A dryer that tumbles but produces no heat leaves clothes damp after a full cycle and forces repeated runs that waste energy. The most common causes are a blown thermal fuse, a faulty heating element, a defective gas igniter, or a clogged dryer vent restricting airflow. An appliance-repair technician tests the thermal fuse, heating element, thermostat, and igniter, replaces the failed part, and verifies the vent path is clear so the dryer reaches proper operating temperature again.
