My dryer works well. It just stopped heating. I'm not exactly sure how old it is as I bought it second hand. Is it worth fixing or should I look into buying a new one?

Answer on this question depends on condition of the dryer and cost of repair.


You may want to start the troubleshooting from verifying 240 VAC at the dryer terminal block (where the power cord is connected to the dryer).

The heater needs 240 VAC while the motor requires only 120 VAC.
