I didnt use my dryer ( sears dryer) for 2-3 yrs, then l hook it up and it start working for about 5 mins with good heat but stop all at once. I tried starting it again but after it started got about 5 seconds it stop again. What do you think the problem could be? Thank you Linda
We don’t even know if it is gas or electric without the make and model number. But briefly, here are some causes: Dryer: Starts then stops. If an electric dryer starts but then stops before the load is dry, a clogged exhaust vent may have caused the dryer to overheat and trip the thermal fuse. … A bad drive motor, failed timer or faulty electronic control board can also stop the dryer before the cycle ends.
