Top Magic Chef dryer parts that fail

  • Drive motor. The drive motor rotates the motor shaft, which in turn rotates the idler pulley, which rotates the drive belt that's wrapped around the dryer drum. The motion of these components rotates the drum. The drive motor also rotates the blower fan blade on most dryers, which exhausts hot air from the dryer.
  • Heating element. The heating element is a coil or other arrangement of wire in which an electric current produces heat to dry clothing.
  • High-limit safety thermostat. The high-limit safety thermostat shuts off the heat when the dryer overheats either because the operating thermostat fails or the heating element has a short circuit. The high-limit safety thermostat resets when the dryer cools.
  • Igniter. The igniter in a Magic Chef gas dryer glows white hot until it reaches the ignition temperature, at which point the flame sensor opens electrically to divert current flow in the electrical circuit to the gas valve coils. The gas valves open, and the burner lights.
  • Thermal fuse. The thermal fuse is usually mounted on the blower fan housing. It detects the temperature of the air venting from the dryer to the outdoors and trips if the air becomes too hot. In an electric dryer, the thermal fuse shuts off the dryer when it trips. In a gas dryer, it prevents the dryer from heating. The thermal fuse typically trips if the vent tube is clogged or the exterior damper is closed.
  • Timer. The timer on the control panel enables the user to set the drying time by turning the timer's control knob. A small motor on the back of the timer advances the timer during the cycle. The timer's internal cams open and close switches or contacts to operate the various electro-mechanical components in the dryer (mainly the drive motor and the heating element).

How to troubleshoot your Magic Chef dryer when clothes aren't drying

It's not unusual for heavier items like jeans or towels to have a few damp patches when the drying cycle ends, especially in a mixed load of light and heavy fabrics. But if the whole load is still soaked, you need to figure out why. Try this simple fix first: Clean lint and debris from the vent tube and exhaust duct using a lint brush; lint decreases airflow through the dryer, lowers dryer performance and creating a fire hazard.

If your clothes are still coming out wet, check the heating system—laundry won’t dry without heat. In an electric dryer, check the heating element and replace it if it’s broken. Follow the tips in this troubleshooting video to determine why your electric dryer won’t heat. A broken heater relay, failed timer, faulty operating thermostat, bad thermistor, blown thermal cut-off fuse or failed electronic control board can prevent an electric or gas dryer from heating. In a gas dryer, a blown thermal fuse, failed gas valve coils, a bad flame sensor or broken igniter may prevent the dryer from heating. Follow the steps in this troubleshooting video to figure out why a gas dryer isn’t heating.
