Costway Dryer Overheat Trip / Safety Cutoff

Washer-dryer combo displays no error but dryer function stops after a few minutes with clothes still wet.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Clogged lint filter or condenser, Faulty thermal cutoff opening prematurely, Restricted exhaust path (if vented), Overloaded drum

Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool before servicing.

Clean lint and condenser: Thoroughly clean all lint filters and the condenser unit (if present).
Check exhaust (vented models): Ensure the exhaust hose is not kinked or blocked and that the wall vent is clear.
Reduce load size: Dry smaller loads to reduce heat buildup.
Test thermal cutoff: If the dryer stops repeatedly, test the thermal cutoff and thermostats for proper operation and replace any faulty components.
