is the classic symptom of a heating component. The motor that turns the drum is on a separate circuit the heating element or gas burner. causes include blown thermal fuse, a heating element (electric), a igniter (), or a faulty control. Start by checking the fuse and cleaning the vent system.
a clogged lint filter cause my dryer to stop heating?

Touch the multimeter probes to two terminals. If the meter shows no continuityinfinite resistance), the fuse blown and must be replaced. not attempt to bypass itQ: Is repairing a 10-year-old that is not heating? : It depends on the cost and the’s overall condition.
