- Notes: The main causes of heat failure in dryers include a blown thermal fuse as well as problems with either the heating element or the thermostat. Initially examine the thermal fuse since it serves as a protective measure against dryer overheating. A multimeter can identify whether components have proper electrical connection. If faulty, replace it. Check the heating element for any damage and test the thermostat operation. Having attempted all possible fixes without success you should contact a \[appliance repair\](https://appliancerepair-poway.com/location/appliance-repair-escondido/) professional technician.
