Generic · Washer / dryer
No heat, no error code shown Thermal fuse or heating element failure
What this code means
Drum tumbles and runs normally but produces little or no heat — almost always an electrical/heating path issue, not the control board.
Most likely causes
- Blown thermal fuse from a clogged vent overheating the unit
- Failed heating element (electric) or igniter (gas)
- Clogged exhaust vent restricting airflow badly enough to trip a safety fuse
What to try first
Clean the lint trap and check the exterior exhaust vent flap opens freely when the dryer runs — a blocked vent is the single most common root cause.
Safety note: if this code returns after one clean reset, stop resetting it — repeated lockouts usually mean a real fault that needs a licensed technician. Never bypass a safety switch.
