A dryer that tumbles without heat may have an airflow, heating, power, or control problem. Check the selected cycle and accessible lint screen, then call for troubleshooting if heat does not return.
Start with accessible checks
Confirm that you selected a heated cycle rather than an air-only setting. Clean the lint screen according to the owner’s manual and note whether drying has become slower over time.
Do not dismantle electrical or gas components. If there is a burning smell, scorching, or overheating, stop using the dryer and seek professional assistance.
Airflow and heating are different issues
Restricted airflow can affect drying even when the heater works. A failed heating component or electrical fault can also leave clothes damp; symptoms alone do not identify the part.
Hot, humid Memphis summers may make drying problems more noticeable. Describe whether the drum turns, whether clothes warm up, and whether the issue started suddenly.
