Open up the top, unplug the dryer, look in the top rear of the dryer, and you'll see the heating element, and on the right side you'll see a dime sized thermal fuze, with 2 small wires atached to it. remove them and tape them together real tight for a test, plug it in, and press the start button and see if it runs, if so buy a new fuze, DO NOT RUN untill you get a new fuze.
Now if the fuze was blown, the vent hose was kinked, or vent clogged with lint, but most likely the blower fan on your model is stuffed with lint,take dryer front off and clean throughly. I find thes condition often |
