Why does my electric dryer work but fails to make heat?
there are several reasons, an easy one to check is the breaker or fuse panel if one side of the breaker has tripped(not completely unheard of) or if one fuse has blown the dryer may still run but not heat. there are also several safeties in the electrical circuit that fail the element only and will allow the motor to run but should be attended to by a qualified individual.
