How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before inspection.
- Check ventilation: Ensure the dryer has adequate clearance around it and that vents are not blocked.
- Inspect power connections: Check the terminal block and power cord for loose or burnt connections.
- Control board cooling: Remove the top panel and ensure the control board area is free of lint and dust. Clean gently with a vacuum.
- Motor check: If the dryer stops after running for some time, the motor may be overheating. Inspect for restricted airflow and worn bearings. Replace the motor if necessary.
- Monitor operation: After cleaning and tightening connections, run a test cycle. If the issue persists, the power filter or control board may need replacement.
