How to Fix a GE Electric Dryer Model Number DBLR333ETOAA That Won't Heat
- 1). Enter your drying instructions again; for example, the "Fabric Care" dial could be in the "Fluff" position. The dryer uses room-temperature air to protect delicate fabrics when you choose this option. Move the dial to "Cottons," "Easy Care" or "Delicates" for extra heat.
- 2). Check your fuse or breaker box; the dryer might have tripped or blown one of its circuits. Because the appliance uses two fuses and breakers, it's possible to have the dryer start and spin without the heating circuit working. Replace or reset the fuses or breakers as necessary and try the dryer again.
- 3). Empty the lint screen and check the exhaust pipe for blockages; a heavily soiled lint trap will reduce the dryer's heating and drying ability. You should wipe the lint screen clean after every cycle to prevent blockages in the exhaust pipe and to reduce heating issues.
- 4). Break the laundry load in half; it may be too heavy for the dryer to process within the time constraints of the cycle. One dryer load should equal one washer load. Heavily saturated fabrics and large items like duvets and blankets should be dried separately.
