Possible Causes

Blocked condenser or lint build-up, Faulty dryer thermostat or NTC sensor, Underpowered or failing dryer heater, Overloaded drum during drying

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and allow the appliance to cool before cleaning or disassembly.

  • Reduce load size: For drying, fill the drum only about half full to allow air circulation.
  • Clean condenser and ducts: If accessible, remove and clean the condenser. Otherwise, access internal ducts and remove lint build-up.
  • Check dryer temperature: During a drying cycle, the door glass should become warm but not excessively hot. If it remains cold, suspect heater or thermostat issues.
  • Inspect dryer NTC and thermostats: Check connectors and replace faulty sensors or thermostats with Bush-compatible parts if testing indicates failure.
