Problems You May Notice

    • Dryer runs but produces little to no heat • Clothes remain damp after completing a full cycle • Drying time takes significantly longer than normal • Error code F12 displays on the control panel • Dryer may shut off prematurely during operation • No warm air flowing from the dryer drum • Cycle completes but clothes feel cold to the touch
🔧

Possible Causes

    • Faulty heating element requiring replacement • Malfunctioning thermal sensor or temperature thermistor • Blown thermal fuse preventing power to the heating element • Clogged lint filter restricting airflow and triggering temperature sensors • Blocked or kinked exhaust vent hose reducing air circulation • Restricted dryer vent damper or exterior vent opening • Door switch failure preventing proper cycle operation • Control board malfunction affecting heating element signals • Airflow obstruction in the blower wheel or exhaust pathway
✅

Safety Checks You Can Do

    • Remove and clean the lint filter thoroughly with a soft brush, ensuring no debris blocks airflow • Inspect the exhaust vent hose for kinks, crushing, or blockages and straighten as needed • Check the exterior dryer vent opening to ensure it opens freely and is not covered by lint or obstructions • Verify the dryer door closes completely and securely without gaps • Confirm you selected the correct drying cycle and temperature setting • Remove any items blocking the dryer's air intake vents on the front or back • Unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet and wait 60 seconds, then plug it back in to reset the control board • Ensure the dryer is properly installed with adequate clearance from walls for proper ventilation • Check that no clothing is caught in the door seal preventing complete closure
