Dryer turning but not heating

Our Maytag Quiet Series 200 Dryer is just over two years old. We have never had any trouble before but now the drum is turning but we have no heat! What do you suggest?

The first thing I would do is go to the breaker box, and kick the breaker off and on a few times, and then check the dryer. If that does not work, it is most likely the element, or the high limit thermostat. Tom

It eventually heats up but takes a long time. It also does not shut off.

laurasigg,

The most common cause of such problem is a clogged exhaust line and/or clogged air ducts and the blower wheel inside the dryer.

Just like my customers, it does not heat!!! Then it does heat, and takes too long!!! My wife answers the phone at our business, and try’s so hard to get the correct problem, so we know what to bring. It happens here too. I can’t win Gene!!! That is why I drive a 2007 Ford E250 Van, so I can carry everything. Tom http://www.applianceeducator.com
