Spins but no heat means one leg of 240 V is gone. The outlet, cord or breaker — tested in minutes.
Three causes cover almost every call we get for this.
One pole trips; the motor (120 V) runs, the element (240 V) does not. Push fully OFF then ON.
The 30 A dryer receptacle or the cord's terminal block scorches after years of heat. Replace both.
A 30 A double-pole breaker that has weakened. Replaced like-for-like.
Takes a minute, costs nothing, fixes it more often than you would think.
Push the dryer breaker firmly OFF, then ON. If the dryer still spins without heat, stop there.
Still happening? That's our job.

An electric dryer that is completely dead, or that spins but does not heat, has lost one or both legs of its 240-volt supply. The common causes are one half of the double breaker tripped (the handle may still look on), a burnt dryer outlet or cord terminal — dryer outlets run hot and burn out — or a failed breaker. Reset the breaker fully once; if the dryer still misbehaves, the outlet and cord need to be inspected with the power off, which is an electrician's job.
Yes — a failed heating element or thermal fuse does the same thing. We test the outlet; if 240 V is present and steady, the dryer needs an appliance technician.
Yes. Four-wire outlets are the current standard and safer; new dryers need a matching cord.
