Possible Causes

Failed heating element, Tripped thermal cut-out, Faulty NTC sensor, Failed compressor (heat pump models)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect mains power before inspection.

  • 1. Confirm symptom: Run the dryer for 5–10 minutes, then stop and carefully feel the air inside the drum. If it is completely cold, heating is not working.
  • 2. Clean filters and condenser: Blocked airflow can cause safety devices to trip. Clean lint filter and condenser/heat exchanger thoroughly.
  • 3. Allow to cool and retry: If the thermal cut-out has tripped due to overheating, the dryer may resume heating after cooling down.
  • 4. When to call a technician: If there is still no heat, the heater, NTC, or compressor should be tested and replaced by a professional.
