Was the START button firmly pressed? Is a cycle selected? No heat

Check the following: Is the lint screen clogged with lint? Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint, restricting air movement? Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes.

Is the lint screen clogged? Clean lint screen. Check for air movement. Is the load properly sorted? Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics). Also sort by color.
