Possible Causes

Stuck closed cycling thermostat, Faulty NTC sensor, Blocked exhaust duct, Control board not regulating heater

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.
