Possible Causes

Stuck-closed cycling thermostat, Faulty temperature sensor (NTC), Heater relay stuck on, Blocked exhaust reducing cycling

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer.

Steps:

  • Check exhaust: Ensure the vent is clear so the thermostat can cycle properly.
  • Test cycling thermostat: Access the thermostat on the exhaust or heater housing and test for proper opening/closing at specified temperatures (requires heating and a multimeter). Replace if stuck closed.
  • Inspect control board: If the thermostat and sensor are good, the heater relay on the control board may be stuck, requiring board replacement.
