Hello,

First thing I would check would be to make sure you have 240 volts at the dryer connection. Your dryer will still run with 120volts but 240 is needed to supply the heat. Check to make sure one of the breakers on the dryer circuit isn't tripped. Next thing I would test would be the heating element in the back of the dryer. You may be able to visually see a break but it's a lot easier with a multimeter. Open element means replace element. Hope this helps.

I have no heat. It still tumbles and I was able to get a load of laundry dry but its cold air.

Hello,

Do you have "some" heat or no heat? If you have some heat try drying a load with the vent completely off the dryer to see if that's any better.
