How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and allow the dryer to cool fully before inspection.
- Clean airflow path: Thoroughly clean lint filter, internal ducts, condenser (if fitted), and exhaust hose.
- Check installation: Ensure the dryer is not installed in a confined space without ventilation.
- Inspect motor: If the motor is extremely hot to touch after short use, its thermal protector may be tripping due to internal wear; replacement may be required.
- Thermostat check: A technician can test cycling thermostats and replace if they are opening too early.
