Good to know
Why Your Electric Dryer Runs but Does Not Heat
Electric dryers use two power lines at 240 volts. The motor runs on a small part of that power, but the heating element needs both lines. If one line is lost, the drum can still spin while the dryer never heats. A tripped or half-failed breaker can cause this.
Try resetting the breaker once. If it happens again, do not keep resetting. Contact us.
