How To Fix a Dryer Not Heating (Quick & Easy) 

Dude!! I would have NEVER thought to think of flipping the breaker!! I was so worried that it was something more, but no, just a simple flip of the breaker and it works PERFECTLY!!! You my friend are a life saver!!!! Thank you so much for making this video!!!!!!!

We just bought a brand new dryer/washer. I was doing laundry today, and I noticed there is no heat. I was hysterical that they sold me a dryer that didn't work. I "barked" at my boyfriend to call the "kid" who sold it to us and tell him to bring a unit that "actually works". So, um...then I googled "My dryer isn't heating", and you were the FIRST video that popped up that was under 5 minutes. I watched, and ya know, I didn't even THINK about the breaker. lol Flipped it, now my brand new dryer is hot. Oy! Do you ever feel like Chrissy Snow? Yeah, I'm there. LOL Thanks, Keith! YOU ARE AN ANGEL!!!!!!!!!

How the fudge you go from fixing the dryer to hard water issues on the washer?

Thanks brother, helped me fix the issue real quick. I appreciate you Keith

Omgosh!! I'm so glad I watched this video! I ordered the parts for the thermostat and heating element. An when u said flip ur breaker. I was like what why?! It turns on just not heating. Can't be that simple! And it was!! Thank You ,Thank You

Thanks nobody ever told me about the breaker!!! Makes sense.

Thank you!!!! My commercial dryer had no heat whatsoever. Still worked otherwise. I reset the breaker for 30 seconds and voila! Hot air. I think the California heat (100+ degrees) in the garage + the dryer running created too much heat and triggered a safety feature Thank you again! You saved me a good chunk of money

Just caught your video today when my dryer stop heating... Thanks so much for this video!! My dryer is now working!

Great video! I had never ever heard of birds building nests in the vent--and that was my problem! Thank you!

Found this video, and went outside and flipped the breaker switch.....VOILA! The dryer began heating again!!!! Thanks so much for the simple and straightforward item to check 1st!

Thank you SOOOOO much~~ I was going to buy a new dryer thinking ours is broken!!! I just reset the breaker and IT TOTALLY WORKS NOW!!!! Thank you Thank you!!!

Keith!! I thank you so much for your so simple yet extremely effective advice, to just give the breaker a reset, which fixed my no heat whatsoever issue after having watched dozens and dozens of other videos. I can’t believe I didn’t think of this sooner. You’re the best!

Thank you so much! Turning the breaker off for 10 seconds worked!!!!

Thank you so much!! Just bought brand new lg dryer and no heat was coming out I was stressing out! Bless you sir!

Yayyy flipped the breaker and it worked! Glad I continued watching other videos. Other videos I seen mentioned nothing of checking breaker.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Thank you for a great video! It was the lint screen for me. I'm surprised it could affect the heating so much.

Thanks alot for just the basic info, gonna test these out and see what happens.

Yay my dryer works again😝 that silver tube thingy was pinched. I think from pushing the dryer too far back. I dont know I dont care. It works now 😁❤

Hi sir i wanted to ask i have a gas dryer GE and wanted to mention the start button wont start only when i hold the start button then is stays on when i release, it turns back off and it doesn't heat too any suggestions thank you so much for you input

He is absolutely right. Flip the breaker first for at least 10 seconds. On another video it was said 99% its the heating element. My dryer is from 2018. I bought the pieces - exchanged them - same, no heat. In another video it was said either unplug the plug or flip the breaker. So the plug was nearer to me. Nothing changed. Before going to buy a new dryer I gave the flip of the breaker a chance. Now it's working again. So obviously older houses have older wires and I assume the dryer senses the thinner wires in older houses and shuts off the heat - just in case. If its happening again I will exchange the wire in the house according to todays code.

Thank you!!

I just had a new dryer delivered 2 hours ago delivery guys left started washing when I went to the dryer it powered up and all but a hour later everything was still wet watched your video and now all is well...Awesome

After all this time your suggestion to reset the breaker still works. thanks Rod F.

Thanks Keith these other videos will have you taking apart your dryer?literally I just did what you said and it started to heat up

Thank you

You are awesome. I mean AWESOME!

These are good starting points. I’ve replaced my heater because it was out. It was 8 years old before it went out, and the element had deteriorated. Unfortunately the After market heaters don’t last long. Went out again after 10 months. I have no issues with the vents, it’s just that those heaters are cheaply made. Looking into an OEM part this time. But not sure if that will last long either. I’ve read that didn’t last much longer.

Super 👌

BEST VIDEO! THANK YOU ❤️🌹💋

I love this beautiful human. Thanks bud

Thanks

Well, I did all of the troubleshoots you recommended, and it must be the heating element. What's the average cost of element and repair costs?

Thanks for the video. Just single mom here and my dryer wasn't hot for few weeks because I just bought a house. After watching this video I checked my vent and it's all clogged up like an inch

2nd step did it for me. Pulled vent off, found heat coming out the back, cleaned the flex hose and stuck a hanger down the permanent vent. Found sock from previous tenants, 2 years prior. It always took us 2 dries to dry completely. Maybe it will dry on the first run now. Thank you.

I have a ge stackable washer and dryer and the dryer was working fine and just like that, it stopped heating..can you post a video on how to troubleshoot the problem..thank you

Lol the dog

Can you make another video on a haier dryer that’s mounted on a wall 🥹 I have no idea why the heat isn’t coming out and don’t know where to start as it’s a completely different model

Nice front bumper you got🤪

My ge dryer only heats on the cotton setting. Other settings do not het up.

Just a tip,, reset the breaker.. you must wait the 30 seconds,,before doing like I did and try it after about 15 seconds,, you must wait the full 30seconds plus,,👌

Keith is the best

What does the washer have to Do with the dryer not heating? 🤔

i done all that found out the wire from the breaker was 27 years old . i replace it and don't have a single problem i done this before i call someone

How do you fix the dryer when it’s hot, but it went to run

Thank you!!!! Breaker 10 seconds

If the breaker was flip it wouldn't even come on though right?

Brand new dryer delivered today no heat, turns on tumbles cloths hours later cloths are still damp. Even with no metal hose on back no heat did try the breaker few times over 3 hours no change 😭

I just about got fucked by a home warranty company (dangerous bastards..!) but it's now a non-issue because of the breaker on-off tip! Thank you, my good human!

On it’s the button on on the LG on top, but the buttons are on, but they’re never come they never and never spins and then it’s been the button but it doesn’t

Resetting the breaker didn’t work for me😩

How about a brand new dryer not heating at all. Replaced the thermo and element in the old one, which wouldn't heat. Got a new dryer not heating. We are about to give up

Thanks for the video but please put the words ELECTRIC DRYER in the title.

My dryer is working but it's just blowing cold air , not heating!

You can take most dryers apart with a multi screwdriver. 😒

You also want to try to reset your machine before you do anything

Why in the heck will turning my breaker off and on work? Also my stuff is not labeled I rent and old ass house yo… it has the original wiring which is wrapped in Kevlar so that should tell you around about the age of the house that I’m renting😜

,e

I looked up dryer he's talking about hard water smh
