How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Check ventilation: Ensure lint filter, exhaust duct, and condenser (if applicable) are clean to prevent overheating.
  • Inspect power connections: Check the power cord, plug, and terminal block for loose or burned connections.
  • Test thermostats: Verify that thermostats reset after cooling. Replace any that trip too easily or do not reset.
  • Monitor motor temperature: If the motor is extremely hot to the touch after stopping, it may be overheating and shutting down. Test and replace the motor if necessary.
