Dryer stops mid-cycle and will not restart until it cools down.

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

• Clean airflow path: Clean the lint filter, vent hose, condenser (if fitted), and internal ducts to ensure proper airflow.
• Inspect motor: Access the motor and check for dust build-up and restricted cooling. Clean around the motor and cooling fan.
• Check motor bearings: Rotate the motor shaft by hand; if stiff or noisy, the motor may be overheating due to bearing wear and should be replaced.
• Verify thermal cut-out: Some models have a resettable motor thermal cut-out. If accessible, reset it according to service instructions after resolving the cause of overheating.
