How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer and allow it to cool fully before inspection.

  • Clean all airflow components: Thoroughly clean lint filters, condenser, and any accessible ducts or vent hoses.
  • Check installation environment: Ensure the dryer is not installed in a confined, unventilated space. Provide adequate clearance and ventilation.
  • Inspect thermostats: Access the heater housing and exhaust duct thermostats. Replace any that are sticking or out of specification.
  • Test after cleaning: Run a small load and monitor temperature. If overheating persists, seek professional diagnosis.
