Assuming your dryer blower does run, then you must have one of the phases dropping out. Check all electrical connections at the breaker or fuse box, dryer receptacle, and wiring going into the dryer. If your blower runs, then your neutral is probably okay. Check one of the "hot" leads. I suspect one has come loose, or wasn't fastened at all.
What else can I help you with?
Clothes dryer will not turn off?
If the clothes dryer will not turn off, it could be due to a faulty timer or a stuck relay switch.

What would happen if a 240V breaker was on and someone attempted to turn on the clothes dryer?
Don't understand this question. If the breaker is on, then the dryer would function normally, if the breaker your are referring to is the one for the dryer. If the breaker is off then no function. A dryer runs on 220.
What is the difference between an electric dryer and an electric steam dryer?
None of the above. Please don't get trapped in that mindset that you must have an appliance to dry your clothes. For one thing, a dryer, gas or electric, beats the crap out of your clothes! Yes they give it a nice, easy, gentle name.....they call it "tumbling" but really it's beating the crap out of your clothes. Look at the lint that comes out of the lint trap next time you clean it. That was part of your clothes. How many times do you think you can do this to your clothes? Soon there will be nothing left of them, maybe you can knit a sweater from the lint you have collected. Folks, the best clothes dryer in the world is a piece of rope and some wooden spring clamps (clothespins) I would suggest hanging your clothes in a shaded area, as direct sun will fade colors over time. You can also hang them inside, like in the basement, or a spare bedroom. Your clothes will not dry as fast as with a dryer, of course, BUT..... after the initial cost of the rope and clothespins, it is free. There's your efficiency that you are wanting, right there! In the winter you are already heating the air in your home, and the moisture from the clothes is usually much needed. A clothes dryer is one of the biggest energy-suckers you have in your home, and then what happens to all that hot and moist air??? it gets blown outside of course. But that is another discussion topic. Do yourself a big favor, and air dry your clothes, they will last longer, and you will save a heap of money. yes, it may be inconvenient at times, but a great man once said, "In order to conserve, we must be inconvenienced to some degree." Now to answer your question properly, that is, if electric or gas are the only allowed answers, and by "most efficient" you don't mean least expensive, In both cases, efficiency is affected by airflow, or lack of airflow. Keep the filters clear of lint. One by-product from the combustion of liquified petroleum (propane) is water.... moisture.... so just from burning the gas to make heat your are taking away some of the hot air's ability to absorb moisture. in that regard, gas is less efficient, but just to a slight degree. Electricity is 100% efficient at the point of use, your home, but one must think about, how efficient was the electric plant that produced the electricity... and how effieciently was this power transmitted to your home? but. i guess that is neither here nor there, since the electricity you pay for is measured as it goes into your house wiring, so the electric company in the end pays for the inefficiency of it generating and distribution network. but still, something to think about. So to answer the question.................Electric............definitely ELECTRIC :)
How do you change the timer of the electric clothes dryer?
You need to obtain a replacement unit or compatible from an appliance service dealer. Then it's just a matter of disassembling the control panel and disconnecting the old switch, removing it, and replacing and reconnecting the new unit. If you're wonder how to disassemble the control panel to accomplish this the process is very common sense oriented. At most all you'll need is a 5\16th nut driver or socket, a Philips head screwdriver, and a pair of needle nose pliers. JUST MAKE SURE THE MACHINE IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE YOU START.
What happens to the ice in the clothes?
When you take an ice out of the freezer, it slowly melts. But some of it re freeze by the ice itself. So the small amount of water in the cloth which is re frozen by the ice when the cloth and ice make contact produces the sticking effect.

How does a dryer sheet work to reduce static cling and soften clothes in the dryer?
Dryer sheets contain a thin layer of lubricant that gets transferred onto clothes during the drying cycle. This lubricant helps reduce friction between fabrics, which in turn reduces static cling. Additionally, dryer sheets also contain positively charged ions that neutralize the negative charges on clothes, further reducing static electricity. The heat from the dryer activates the lubricant and ions, allowing them to soften clothes and reduce static cling effectively.
