Dryer will run and heat fine for about fifteen minutes then shut off and won't come on period like it has no power. Changed cord,plug outlet and checked breakers none are the problem
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

This sounds like it could be a bad thermal fuse. You'll want to check both fuses for resistance with a multimeter. If either one reads more than 0 ohms, it's faulty. Make sure to clean out the lint from the back of the dryer, since that's what will usually cause those to fail.

Will the thermal fuse still work after shutting dryer off and produce heat normally? Checked vent cleaned it day before yesterday and took out inside guard and cleaned lint trap area as well it's clear.
@nicki86 not it will not. Once a thermal fuse "blows" it needs to be repalced.
Well heat works still works. I'm lost because it's all of a sudden working again like nothing happened coming on after putting it on dry 🙄

@nicki86 "won't come on period like it has no power" it will not come on ever or you have to wait? Anything you have to do to get it to come back on? What complete model number is your dryer?

It will eventually come back on hours later and the process repeats. Model number 81022900

@nicki86 it sounds like it is overheating, the high limit thermostat turns it off and then when it cools down it does it again. Download the tech sheet from the bottom of this page and run the diagnostics test. Let us know what you find out

Dryer will work fine on air fluff probably because it's using no heat. I will run test tomorrow but thinking it's one of the thermostats or heating element starting to go out.

@nicki86 those are good things. I love it when things just keep working again. Who knows.... maybe just blocking the outlet and it got hot etc. Use is for as long as you can and if it poops out again, we'll deal with it then. For now, you at least have a bit better handle on things, and you can always come back and restart this :-)
