The drive motor will run if the dryer is getting 120 volts through the power supply but the heating element won’t heat unless it gets the full 240 volts needed to activate the element.

Reset the house circuit breaker in case one phase of the 240-volt power supply tripped. This can sometimes restore power to the heating element so that it works.

If that doesn’t help, then a broken heating element, failed safety thermostat switch, bad temperature sensor or defective control board could be preventing your electric dryer from heating.

Schedule dryer repair service to have a service technician diagnose and fix the heating failure.
