How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer and allow it to cool. Overheated clothes can be a fire risk; remove them promptly.
- Check cycle selection: Ensure you are not using a high-heat setting for delicate fabrics. Use lower heat or anti-crease options.
- Clean airflow path: Clean lint filter and exhaust duct to ensure proper airflow and temperature control.
- Test thermostat and NTC: Access the heater housing and test the cycling thermostat and NTC sensor for correct resistance/operation. Replace any faulty components.
- Inspect PCB: If sensors and thermostats are good, the control board may be overdriving the heater and should be evaluated by a technician.
