Dryer will not heat — Clothes remain cold after a cycle

What does Dryer will not heat mean?

The dryer drum turns, but the air inside remains cold, and clothes are not getting dry due to a lack of heat. This can be caused by power issues or incorrect settings.

• A household fuse is blown or a circuit breaker has tripped (electric dryers use two separate fuses/breakers for heating).
• Incorrect 240-volt power supply for electric dryers.
• The gas supply line valve is not open for gas dryers.
• The 'No Heat' temperature setting has been accidentally selected.
