What should you check when clothes dryer isn't blowing hot air?

If your dryer is not making hot air AND the drum is turning then you may have a blockage in the hot air path or the heating unit is not working.
If you feel a blast of air coming out of the vent but it is cool, then you have a heating element problem.
If you do not feel a blast of air coming out of the vent, the hot air path is probably blocked.
In either case, it is safest to call a repairman at this point because an electric dryer can shock you with 220 volts, a gas dryer can shock you with 110 volts and/or cause and explosion or fire or it can leak and release gas into your home. Natural or propane gas can kill and it often has.
Leave these repairs to the professionals.
