Hi,

I have a Rooper electric Dryer model number RES7646KQ2. I noticed some time back some birds entering the dryer vent on the outside I knew this could lead to dryer performing inefficiently I kind of was lazy not to clean the vent as the dryer was still working fine. But yesterday the dryer stopped heating up and drying. The motor works fine but it just woun't heat up. I unhooked the vent from the rear and blasted it with a shop vac and cleaned the vent. But the dryer still does not heat up. Did this trip some fuse or blew some fuse or circuit that might have overloaded and I have to replace it...or is there some sort of reset switich that I need to push to reset the Dryer. Please help me in trouble shoot this and directing me to buy the correct parts.

Appreciate your help.

Thank You

Sounds as if your heating element has failed , do a cintinuity test on it to be for sure!!!!!

Sounds like your thermal cut off that mounts near the top of the heater box has burned out, check it out for continuty,
