Usually there is only a few things to keep a dryer from starting, 1 - one leg of your power is out. The dryer runs on 230 volts but the motor is only 115 volts, so if one side of your breaker is bad or one fuse has opened the motor might not run, 2 - door switch could be bad, 3 - timer could be bad, 4 - motor itself is bad, if the start winding is open usually the motor will just hum and not turn the drum.

∙ 8y agoIf the dryer doesn't heat, but the drum turns, check the thermal fuse(s). The thermal fuse protects the dryer from overheating and helps to prevent fires. If the thermal fuse is blown, it will have to be replaced.

If they are normal wetness then check to see if your dryer shuts off before the cycle is through. It it shuts off after a few minutes then you have an electrical problem to diagnose.

Wiki User
∙ 14y agoDoes the dryer produce any sound when you turn it on ? If not check the power supply cord and the plug (connector), as well as the switch located inside of the dryer.

Is an adapter to go from a 3 prong dryer outlet to a 4 prong dryer cord available for purchase?
I would not recommend trying to use an extension cord for a dryer. the better option is to either buy a longer cord that is properly sized to deal with the extra distance or have an electrician come out and either move the outlet or custom make you a longer cord for your dryer.

The coefficient of drying is a number about the utility of a dryer. A simple example : You have dirty clothes dry, and you wash them.

Why wont your Electric Clothes dryer turn on anymore?
Assuming your dryer blower does run, then you must have one of the phases dropping out. Check all electrical connections at the breaker or fuse box, dryer receptacle, and wiring going into the dryer. If your blower runs, then your neutral is probably okay. Check one of the "hot" leads. I suspect one has come loose, or wasn't fastened at all.

What do you do when your brother went into a dryer and wont come out?
My guess is that your brother is about 2, and if this is true you need to go tell the adult watching you and then stand close to the dryer to make sure he is OK. Don't argue with him, don't beg him to come out, don't try to pull him out, but you want to make sure he is safe. He will come out as soon as he thinks no one wants him out. Make sure the door to the dryer is open so he can get out. Little kids do this sort of thing because they get get an "idea" or wonder what it would be like. Just be cool calm and get a toy he likes to play with a little ways from the dryer. He'll hear you and forget his reason for getting into the dryer.

Yes, you should be able to. Some dryers will have a dryer rack that will prevent the shoes from tumbling around and making unnecessary noise. If you are still unsure, then you cant go wrong with just leaving them out in the sun (although make sure it doesn't rain!)
