Hi - Our Roper dryer was working fine until last week.
The barrel turns and there is air moving, but no heat and the timer doesn't
move. I'm wondering if this could be a fuse, thermostat or ??
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance, Amy
If the timer is set for a auto dry cycle, the timer won't advance if not heating. You need to check for 220 volts at outlet. It's possible to have only 1 110 volt circuit. May be a bad breaker. or outlet. If you have 220 volts at outlet, you need to have an ohm meter to check continuity of the thermal fuses and the heater. Access by removing rear panel. UNPLUG FIRST!!!!!
If all of that is good then the timer or breaker might be bad. Why? The timer calls for heat through the RH leg. The amp draw from the heating element arcs up the contact point inside the timer. The motor runs on 120 volts the heater runs on 240 volts. So the breaker will take a beating on the heater side of it. The dryer will hower still run. To recap It could be the heater the limits the time or an electrical problem.
Hi,
If you are having problems with your
gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor
goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working
properly.
if
you dryer is gas check out this gas
no heat
tip....
If you have an electric dryer, you can
have many different things that can go wrong causing the dryer not to
heat.
check
out this electric

I have the same thing happening right now.
Will try to check the fuses as well. I'll post up what I find out.
Thanks Amigaman
same problem
I am having the same problem. My dryer will start but does not heat up. Its a pretty new model, 2 years old. I have reset all the breakers on the fuse panel outside of my house, but it doesnt help. Any ideaS?
the dryer is is spinning but no heat or timer
We are having the same problem. We ordered a new timer and had it shipped overnight and it still does not work. Please Help
spins, blows air, no heat
I have the same problem, it is a gas dryer and the way you state your answer that it sounds like you are talking about an electric unit. I will check my thermal fuses and such though thanks. I have a gas dryer model number rgx4635eq1 worked great till last this week then timer stopped working and so did the heat. Ran all night
Dryer turns, but no heat and timer does not move
