Dry repair: what to do when a dye does not produce heat

You may not realize it, but repairing the dryer is not really a very difficult task, even if you are a complete beginner. One of the most common (and very annoying) problems when it comes to dryers is when the dryer stops producing heat. Heat is very important because it is basically what dries clothes. Below is a list of the 3 most important places (parts of the dryer) that you can check to repair a dryer that does not produce heat.

Heating

When your dryer is not heating, the first place is to see and check parts of the heater. In electric dryers, the heater generates heat. The heater is located on the rear or front panel (depending on model and brand) of machine dryer. The heating element is a coil of heating cable encased in a metal chamber. This coil is heated every time electricity flows through it. To check if this part is defective or not, you can use a multimeter to verify continuity. Replace the item if it is confirmed to be defective.

High limit thermostat

This is the second part to check when the dryer does not produce heat. High-limiting thermostat is a safety device connected to the heating chamber and designed to prevent the dryer from overheating when exhaust ventilation is limited. Limited ventilation will cause the high limit thermostat to be triggered or activated, interrupting the heating element or gas valve circuit. To verify, disconnect the power supply and reuse a continuity multimeter thermostat. If there is no continuity, it must be replaced.

Radiant flame sensor

The third most important part to verify is the radiant flame sensor. This part is designed to detect heat from lighters or burner flames in gas dryers. This is part of the burner unit in a gas dryer and is located right next to the lighter. The main function of the sensor is to detect the heat from the lighter causing the gas valve to open. It also detects the heat from the burner flame causing the valve to open. If the sensor is defective, the lighter does not light or the gas valve does not open. If the lighter does not shine, check the continuity of the radiation sensor with a multimeter. If the ignition is lit continuously but the gas valve is not opened to ignite a flame, there may be something wrong with the electrical connections inside the sensor, in this case the sensor must be replaced.
