Possible Causes
Failed cycling thermostat stuck closed, Incorrect thermostat fitted previously, Blocked moisture sensor causing over-drying on sensor cycles
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer and allow it to cool before working near the heater.
- Check program selection: Ensure you are not using a high-heat program for delicate fabrics.
- Clean moisture sensor bars: On sensor-dry models, clean the moisture sensor bars inside the drum with vinegar or mild detergent to ensure accurate moisture detection.
- Inspect cycling thermostat: Access the heater housing and locate the cycling thermostat. Test it with a multimeter for correct operation (closed when cold, opening at specified temperature). Replace if stuck closed.
- Verify correct parts: If the thermostat was replaced previously, confirm that the correct Logik part number and temperature rating were used.
