Not Heating
Your appliance runs but doesn't produce heat. Common in dryers, ovens, air fryers, and microwaves. Often caused by a failed heating element or thermal fuse.
Quick Fixes to Try First
Try these quick steps before doing a full repair. They solve the problem in most cases:
- Check that the appliance is properly plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped
- Ensure the door/lid is fully closed (safety interlock)
- Clean any lint, grease, or debris from vents
- Test the outlet with another device
- Check for error codes on the display
- Allow the thermal fuse to reset (some are self-resetting after cooling)
Why This Happens
Failed heating element or coil
Blown thermal fuse
Faulty thermostat or temperature sensor
Broken igniter (gas appliances)
Control board failure
Blocked airflow preventing proper heating
Failed magnetron (microwaves)
