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.
Can you melt a CD with a hair dryer?
No, not hot enough. If a hair dryer was that hot it would ruin your hair.
How do you light the pilot on a whirlpool gas dryer?
I don't know of any dryers that have a pilot light. They have glow plugs which glow red hot before the gas valve is opened so that the gas will ignite. If the glow plug is not working it probably has a crack and needs to be replaced. The dryer will not start without it.
What could be problem if the dryer is not getting hot?
There are a number of possible problems when a dryer is not getting hot. If it's an electric dryer the heating element may have burned in two. Or the relay that switches power to the heating element could have gone bad. If it's a gas dryer the igniter that lites the burner could have failed. The control that commands the heat to come on could have failed. These are other possibilities

Is a gas dryer better than an electric?
Yes, a gas dryer is better than an electric dryer. A gas dryer becomes much hotter so therefore your clothes dry faster. Also natural gas as piped to homes costs less per kilowatt-hour than the equivalent amount of household electrical power. However the initial purchase cost of a gas dryer is much more than an electric dryer and the installation costs cost ofa gas dryer can be much higher too because it needs a piped gas supply as well as electricity.
