Electric dryer runs but no heat

Most electric no-heat calls come down to supply voltage (one breaker leg), a blown thermal fuse from a restricted vent, a tripped high-limit, or an open element. Always fix the airflow cause, or the new fuse will blow again.

Dryer won't start

Separate 'dead' (no display) from 'display OK but no start'. Common causes are supply, door switch, thermal fuse (on designs where it is in the motor/control circuit), start switch, belt switch and the drive motor.

Dryer stops early / clothes still damp

An auto cycle that ends early is usually the moisture sensor reading dry (residue, unlevel, small load). A dryer that stops mid-cycle and restarts later suggests motor overheating or a heat-related shutoff.
