No heat almost always means a heating element. But if you ar talking low heat, then check the lint filter; exhaust pipe for clogges and that the fan is circulating the heat up to the drum.
Heating element or thermostat - NTC defective. It could be a broken wire but i doubt it. Check the heater first for continuity then the thermostats if there is one... NTC controls need a service routine to check. Good luck....you might need a technician I think. Cheers
First you have to remove the back and then top of the dryer, then you will have to remove the drum. After the drum is removed you may see screws along both sides on the inner corners of the front. (You may not have to remove the front once drum is out.) Remove these and the front should come off. There is usually lint jammed in the front tube if this dryer has a lint trap under the door, thus causing the heat not to circulate through the dryer.
If you are experiencing longer dry times and poor drying efficiency, the following link can give you some advice on things to check before assuming you have a malfunction with the dryer:
The number one cause of dryer heat related problems is poor exhaust ventilation. If the dryer can't exhaust properly, the moisture is retained in the dryer drum and your clothes stay wet, longer. A dryer in a clogged or poorply ventilated state can also cause the heating circuits to overheat to the point of failure. The dryer will actually seem hotter as the heating circuits begin to overheat. This can also become a fire hazard if not resolved. Read through the link provided and review some of the potential causes. Hopefully, this may save you a service call.
If you still have problems, please post back and let me know. I hope this helps you.
make sure your vent is clear from dryer to outside the house.your keeping moisture in dryer and if it cant circulate the air out correctly your clothes will take forever to dry.
