Possible Causes
Partially failed heating element, Clogged lint filter and condenser reducing airflow, Faulty NTC temperature sensor, Heat pump system underperforming (heat pump models)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer and allow it to cool before inspection.
Steps to check and fix:
- Clean all filters: Remove and clean the lint filter and any secondary filters. Rinse the condenser/heat exchanger thoroughly if user-removable.
- Check load size and program: Ensure you are not overloading the drum and that you are using an appropriate program for the fabric type.
- Inspect heater and NTC: Access the heater assembly and NTC sensor. Test the heater for correct resistance and the NTC for plausible values. Replace faulty components.
- Heat pump models: Ensure the heat pump fan runs and that the condenser and evaporator are not clogged with lint. If the compressor does not start or the unit never gets warm, the heat pump system may require professional service.
