Hi all,

I have an older Frigidaire dryer that will not heat up. It has been taking longer and longer to dry clothes and yesterday just no heat at all. It seems to be working fine other than that. Around 4 months ago I cleaned out the vent line and there was a lot of lint in the line which I thought I got most of it out.

What do you think might be the problem. If it is the heating element, how difficult is it to replace it? I would like to try to repair this one rather than spending $400 or $500 on a new one at this time.

Thanks.

Hi,

A copy:

Q - My electric dryer runs but will not heat, what could stop my dryer from heating ?A- Things that could stop a electric dryer from heating:
- house fuse or breaker ( needs 2! )... - heating element ... - burnt wire ... - thermostats ... thermal fuse ( not all models )... - motor heat switch ... - timer ... - selector switch ... - burnt power cord/plug ...

Would have to be investigated.
Some access helps...
