If your Hisense tumble dryer isn’t heating up, it can be a major inconvenience. Fortunately, there are several possible solutions to this problem. In this guide, we’ll explore some of the most common causes of a Hisense tumble dryer not heating, and provide tips to help you get your dryer working again.
Check the Power Supply.
The first thing to check when your Hisense tumble dryer won’t heat is the power supply. Make sure that the dryer is plugged in and that the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. If the dryer is plugged in and the circuit breaker is fine, try plugging another appliance into the same outlet to make sure that the outlet is working properly. If the outlet is not working, you may need to call an electrician to fix the problem.
Clean the Lint Filter and Vent.
One common reason for a Hisense tumble dryer not heating is a clogged lint filter or vent. Over time, lint can build up in these areas and block the flow of air, which can cause the dryer to overheat and shut off the heating element. To fix this issue, clean the lint filter after every use and periodically check the vent for any blockages. You can use a vacuum or a lint brush to remove any buildup and improve the airflow.
Inspect the Heating Element.
If cleaning the lint filter and vent doesn’t solve the issue of your Hisense tumble dryer not heating, the next step is to inspect the heating element. This is the part of the dryer that actually heats the air, so if it’s not working properly, your clothes won’t dry. You can use a multimeter to test the heating element for continuity. If it’s not working, you’ll need to replace it. It’s important to note that replacing the heating element can be a complex process, so if you’re not comfortable doing it yourself, it’s best to call a professional.
Test the Thermostat and Thermal Fuse.
If your Hisense tumble dryer still isn’t heating after cleaning the lint filter, vent, and inspecting the heating element, the next step is to test the thermostat and thermal fuse. These parts regulate the temperature inside the dryer and can cause it to stop heating if they’re faulty. You can use a multimeter to test these parts for continuity. If either of them is not working, they will need to be replaced. Again, if you’re not comfortable doing this yourself, it’s best to call a professional.
