Possible Causes
Stuck closed dryer thermostat, Faulty dryer NTC sensor, Control board not cycling heater correctly, Blocked airflow causing localized overheating
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool before inspection.
Step-by-step checks:
- Clean airflow: Ensure condenser, ducts, and lint paths are clean to prevent hot spots.
- Test thermostats: Check continuity of dryer thermostats. A thermostat stuck closed may allow excessive temperature; replace if out of specification.
- Check NTC sensor: Measure resistance and compare with Proline data. Replace if readings are incorrect.
- Control board: If sensors are correct but overheating persists, the PCB may be miscontrolling the heater and require replacement.
When to call a technician: Overheating issues should be professionally assessed to avoid fabric damage or fire risk.
