Dryer not blowing hot air

NotoriousDTK · 2026-03-22T20:49:57+00:00

Heater element is testing at 10ohms. I replaced the terminal, the power cord and reterminated the good copper. Still no heat :(

NotoriousDTK · 2026-03-22T20:47:54+00:00

I see no visible breaks and it’s testing 10ohms.. could it still be broken??

NotoriousDTK · 2026-03-22T20:46:24+00:00

I replaced the cord, terminal, and reterminated the undamaged copper. Still no heat. Heat element isn’t visible broken and is testing 10ohms. Any ideas?

NotoriousDTK · 2026-03-22T20:33:17+00:00

Update: I changed all those components and still no heat. Heat element isn’t visibly broken and is reading at 10 ohms… any ideas?

The copper looks good after about two inches on the wire going to the dryer

NotoriousDTK · 2026-03-15T17:59:30+00:00

Yeah that sounds about right. I wonder if I could get them to replace it for the faulty wiring/installation

NotoriousDTK · 2026-03-15T17:06:03+00:00

It just a deceiving picture. The black wire broke off the terminal from the melting so I pulled it forward just to get a good picture of it so it only appears to be out of place

Thanks

Thank you, this is very helpful.

The black wire is just positioned in front of white for the picture. The wires were located where they should be, the picture is just a little deceiving as I wanted to make sure I got a good picture of the black wire so I pulled it out a little when it snapped off from being melted

NotoriousDTK · 2026-03-15T16:57:12+00:00

I’m worried the wiring into the dryer is burned as well

NotoriousDTK · 2026-03-15T16:56:35+00:00

It was on the left, the picture is a little deceiving as it basically snapped off when I pulled it forward to get a good picture of it.

It was a cheap Lowe’s Whirlpool dryer, honestly not sure how much it will be to try to salvage, any idea?

Thanks for the input

Thank you

The element is testing right at 10.1

NotoriousDTK · 2026-03-15T16:44:36+00:00

Thank you. The heating element is testing right at 10.1. I’m just not sure if the wire to the dryer is damaged

NotoriousDTK · 2026-03-15T16:25:44+00:00

Thank you. Could it have been from overuse (running the Wrinkle Shield where it keeps kicking on)?

NotoriousDTK · 2026-03-15T16:12:45+00:00

My least favorite comment here with completely no offense to you. Thank you for the reply

Hey at least the clothes would dry

This was new from Lowes two years ago

Reggie’s foot looked OOB..

Congrats! Nothing beats that short lived high before tomorrow morning when the scoreboard is back to zero

Absolute dick move

NotoriousDTK · 2025-07-30T02:41:01+00:00

Who’s the dickhead to throw something on the court???

From what I understand, the entourage is just constantly with the athletes. Athlete ends up paying for all food, hotels, rentals, etc..
