    MAYTAG Model LDE490 dryer not heating up
    Our dryer is not heating up. I can set the time, turn it on, the drum starts turning... everything is doing fine EXCEPT no heat. Any suggestions? I did check the circuit breaker AND the lint filter. I don't have a manual for this machine. Any available?

    This is electric? Not good with model #'s. If so, check the element for continuity. If good, check the thermostats for continuity. As well as the lint filter, you must check the exhaust hose from the dryer to where it exits the house. Also you shoud remove the blower housing and clean the lint out of it or the thermal limit will blow and ait is non resetable and will have to be replace. If it is clogged with lint it will cause a "no heat" situation as well
