Dryer runs but clothes come out wrinkled or very hot

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before testing thermostats or accessing the control board.

• Use appropriate cycles: Select sensor-dry or lower heat settings for delicate fabrics. Avoid extended timed high-heat cycles.
• Check moisture sensor: Clean the sensor bars with rubbing alcohol to ensure proper detection of dryness.
• Test cycling thermostat: A stuck-closed thermostat can cause continuous high heat. Replace if it does not open at the specified temperature.
• Inspect heater relay: If the heater remains on when the cycle should be in cool-down, the relay on the main board may be welded closed and the board must be replaced.

Until repaired, use lower heat settings and shorter cycles to protect clothing.
