My maytag bravos quiet series 300 runs but will not heat up at all. No heat what so ever! Side note, i recently had to have my power company come out and fix our lines at the curb after experiencing flickering lights and low power to appliances. it was at the same time as our lights started flickering that the dryer lost heat. Could these two problems be related? If not i have my multi meter ready and the dryer is disassembled. I was hoping the problem would be a slipped belt or something obvious.. I need some guidance on what to check and how to eliminate certain elements. the belts were all intact and on their respective pullies during disassembly! Thank you in advance for any and all help!!!!
Cause #1 Thermal Fuse The thermal fuse is a safety device designed to protect the dryer from overheating. The fuse is located on the blower housing or at the dryer’s heat source such as the heating element on electric dryers or at the burner on gas models. The fuse should be closed for continuity meaning it has a continuous electrical path through it when good. If overheated the fuse will have no continuity meaning the electrical path is broken and the fuse has blown out. A multimeter can be used to test it for continuity. Be aware that a blown thermal fuse is an indication of a restricted exhaust vent from the dryer to the outside. Always check the dryer venting when replacing a blown thermal fuse. http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/M… See Old Turkeys answer here: Dryer runs but clothes don’t dry
@ronoppjr not an answer but check to see if this works for your dryer. Let us know so we can proceed. Otherwise follow the link given by mayer :-)
