Possible Causes

Failed dryer heating element, Open thermal cut-out or thermostat on dryer heater, Blocked condenser or air duct causing overheat trip, Faulty dryer temperature sensor (NTC)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance. Internal dryer components can remain hot after use; allow to cool.

  • Clean lint and condenser: Remove and clean the condenser unit (if user-removable) under running water. Clean the door filter and any accessible lint screens. Blocked airflow can cause overheating and heater cut-out.
  • Check drying load: Avoid overloading; Gorenje washer-dryer combos typically have a lower drying capacity than washing capacity. Overloading reduces airflow and heating efficiency.
  • Inspect air paths (advanced): Remove the top and rear panels. Check the fan housing, ducts, and condenser channels for lint build-up. Vacuum carefully.
  • Test dryer heater and thermostats: Locate the dryer heater assembly (usually in the upper rear area). With a multimeter, check continuity of the heater coil and thermal cut-outs. Replace any open components with Gorenje-specified parts.

If all heating components test correctly, the main control board or dryer relay may be faulty and should be diagnosed by a professional.
