Possible Causes
Clogged internal lint duct, Blocked blower wheel, Restricted vent outlet (if vented model), Faulty airflow sensor (if equipped)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power. Internal metal edges can be sharp; wear gloves.
- Clean lint filter: Remove and clean the lint filter thoroughly. This should be done before every drying cycle.
- Inspect internal ducts: Remove the lower front or rear panel and access the blower housing and ducts. Vacuum out lint and debris from all accessible passages.
- Check blower wheel: Inspect the blower wheel for lint buildup or foreign objects. Ensure it spins freely on the motor shaft and is not cracked. Replace if damaged.
- Check vent outlet (vented models): Inspect the external vent hood and ducting for blockages or crushed sections. Clean or replace ducting as needed to restore airflow.
- Airflow sensor (if present): Some models use a thermistor or pressure sensor to monitor airflow. Inspect wiring and replace the sensor if it tests out of specification.
