Checking the heating element in a dryer is a crucial step in diagnosing and resolving any issues related to the appliance’s drying performance. The heating element is responsible for generating the heat necessary to evaporate moisture from clothes, and its proper functioning is essential for efficient drying.
A faulty heating element can manifest in several ways. The dryer may take longer to dry clothes, produce excessive heat, or fail to heat altogether. In some cases, a malfunctioning heating element can also trip the circuit breaker or blow a fuse.
