Start by unplugging the dryer and removing the rear panel. Check the old belt for wear — you will likely have to remove it first. Some local hardware stores carry replacement belts, but you may have to have them order it for yours. You can also check online for a replacement belt. Once you have a replacement belt, take note of the belt routing and remove the old belt. Rout the new belt, ensuring you have its oriented the correct way and properly seated.
If a new belt doesn't solve the problem, you may have a problem with the idler pulley or motor. Changing an idler pulley is more involved than replacing a worn belt, but still fairly simple to do yourself. When you're in faulty motor territory, it may be time to contact a professional.

March 2, a. Clothes feel warm but don't fully dry You put a load in the dryer, start it and walk away. Cause The culprit here could be a faulty heating element. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends choosing an aluminum semi-rigid duct, because a flexible plastic or foil tube can more easily trap lint, and that buildup can lead to overheating. Scope out these issues before you ring the repair folks, and you might just save yourself the price of an expensive service call.
If the gas is off, a gas clothes dryer will not dry the load. Meanwhile, an electric dryer plugs into a volt electric outlet, often with two circuit breakers installed to control power to it. If one flips and the machine only gets a partial voltage of volts, the dryer will spin but not heat up.
Check the circuit breaker to see if anything was tripped , and call in a professional if there seems to be a larger electrical problem at play. Disclosure: BobVila. You agree that BobVila.
When thinking about getting a new dryer consider its age. If you are having major issues with your dryer not drying, and the machine is getting close to that lifespan, it may be time to replace the dryer. If, however, your dryer is relatively new, and you are confident that you can fix the dryer with reasonable costs, you may want to keep the dryer and simply repair.

The other part is the hot air that heats up the inside of the drum and helps to dry the clothes. The primary heating element is responsible for supplying the hot air inside the dryer and to ensure that there is an even supply of the heated air throughout the full time of the dryer cycle.
However, if there is an interruption of the heating of the air during the cycle this will undoubtedly lead to a delay in the amount of time it will take to fully dry the clothes in the drum. Only some LG and Samsung advanced Dryers have this type of heating element.
The majority of other dryers use 1 coil heating element. When it is time to replace it you want to be sure that you unplug it from the wall receptacle and open the back access panel. After locating the heater and take the mounting screws out and disconnect it from the power panel. The install the new one and after you have it all hooked up and everything buttoned back up and it plugged in you can do a test load to check on your handy work.
Most things that produce heat have a device called a thermostat that is designed to regulate the heat that is being produced or used by the device in some way. Most clothes dryers have a number of these thermostats inside in order to help regulate the air temperature. It is very important for any dryer to be able to maintain the constant amount of hot air inside the drum in order to dry the clothes properly.
So, while it is unlikely that the failure to dry the clothes in the dryer is directly caused by a catastrophic failure of one or more of the thermostats inside the dryer. But, if you have checked everything else and that only leaves a strong possibility that it is caused by a thermostat failure. You can contact the manufacturer in order to get the correct replacement thermostat to be able to replace it if necessary.
