We have a Fisher and Paykel Model #DEC27CW1 All of a sudden it stopped heating. Is there something we can check other than the vent, which is clear?

Could be overheating because the exhaust vent is clogged. Check that out.

Check all the fuses on the unit with an ohm meter. Also go to you tube for visuals on how to do this

you probly have a venting problem disconect the vent from the dryer and try it see if it works ok if so get someone to clean vent ducking out.

What is the model number of your machine?

You may need to reset the breaker for the heating elements or clean and check the continuity contacts. Go to http://fisherpaykelparts.net/techhelp/fisher-paykel-top-load-dryers-us-models/ This forum will work you through your problem

Could be something simple like a limit popped due to clogged vent or a open heating element. DEGx1 Service Manual

You could check for obstructed vent of excessive lint.

Check your cvent going outside. also check to see if the vent is smashed. try using the time dry cycle and see how your clothes turn out. if they are still wet or damp. you have a heating problem. try those solutions.

Check the following to address this issue.




1. No power to the dryer
Make sure there's power getting to the dryer. Check for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses. An electric dryer uses two circuit breakers or fuses, and if only one of two is tripped or blown, the dryer might still run but not heat. Sometimes the power cord disconnects or burns at the dryer, if this is the case, the wiring and the terminal block must be repaired or replaced.

2. Heating element
A burned out heating element will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Replace the element if found defective.

3. Thermal fuse
Most dryers have a thermal fuse, which burns out when the dryer overheats, in which case the dryer will either not run at all or stop heating. The fuse is usually located on the vent duct, inside the dryer. A blown fuse will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Before replacing the fuse, make sure the blower wheel is not broken or clogged, and there is nothing blocking the venting.

Check the exhaust hose. If the dryer isn't venting properly it will either stop or the heater will turn off and the clothes will remain wet. If the hose is not clogged check the wall vent tube.
