My dryer only heats up sometimes, what could be the problem?
The thermal fuse, thermostat and heating element checked out fine on a multimeter, and I flipped the switch in my house fuse box as well. The dryer only heats up once in a while, mostly it does not. Ideas? It's an older Sears Kenmore brand.
First thing is to make sure that the entire run of vent pipe is cleaned out. Any obstruction will cause the dryer to quickly overheat and prematurely trip the thermostats. If it continues to act up, your most likely culprits are the operating thermostat, heater thermostat, or the heating element. Loose wiring is another possibility, and rarely a bad or dirty contact in the cord of one of the dryers control knobs.
Unfortunately in cases like this the thermostats will check out with a meter because technically they are allowing current through, but as they age, sometimes they will start to trip early or late (at the wrong temperature. In this case you would replace the thermostat on the heater and the one on the exhaust (operating thermostat) (not the small safety / fuses - these usually trip once and then must be replaced so they wouldn't check out on a meter). They can't easily be tested so you replace both of them, they shouldn't be that expensive. It's also possible to have a hairline separation on the heating coil. You need to carefully examine it for damage - put the meter on ohms and while check the coil contacts, tap the housing lightly and see if you lose continuity at all. Then you would simply replace the heater assembly or coil.
