Possible Causes
Blocked airflow (lint in ducts or condenser), Failed cycling thermostat, Stuck heater relay on control board, Faulty NTC sensor reading low temperature
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before servicing.
- 1. Clean airflow system: Remove all lint from the condenser, fan housing, and internal ducts. Ensure the fan wheel spins freely.
- 2. Check installation: Ensure the combo has adequate clearance around it for ventilation and that vents (if present) are not obstructed.
- 3. Inspect thermostats: Test the high-limit thermostat and cycling thermostat for continuity. Replace if stuck closed or open as appropriate.
Persistent overheating may indicate a stuck heater relay on the control board, requiring board replacement by a professional.
