Possible Causes
Clogged condenser unit, Lint buildup in internal ducts, Faulty dryer fan motor, Failed dryer heating element, Incorrect load size or type
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool before cleaning the condenser.
- 1. Clean condenser: Remove the condenser (if user-removable) and rinse thoroughly under running water to clear lint and detergent residue. Let it drain and dry before reinstalling.
- 2. Clean lint filters: Remove and clean all accessible lint filters and screens.
- 3. Adjust load: Do not overload the drum in drying mode. Dry smaller loads and avoid very heavy cotton items all at once.
If there is still no heat or very poor drying, the heater, thermostats, or fan motor may be faulty and should be tested and replaced as needed.
