Possible Causes

    • Burned out or failed heating element in the heating chamber • Faulty thermal cutoff fuse that has tripped or blown • Malfunctioning temperature sensor (thermostat) providing incorrect readings • Blocked exhaust vent causing heat buildup and safety shutdown • Restricted airflow through the lint filter or internal lint accumulation • Kinked or crushed dryer vent hose restricting air circulation • Defective door latch switch preventing proper air circulation detection • Electrical connection issues to the heating element or sensors • Clogged exhaust damper flapper preventing proper airflow • Failed high-limit thermostat triggering thermal protection shutdown

Safety Checks You Can Do

    • Remove and thoroughly clean the lint filter, including the filter housing area with a soft brush • Inspect the entire dryer vent hose for kinks, bends, or crushing and straighten if needed • Disconnect the dryer vent hose from the back of the appliance and check for lint blockages • Verify the external dryer vent hood on your home's exterior is not blocked or obstructed • Ensure the dryer door closes completely and latches securely with an audible click • Check that no clothing or objects are preventing the door from sealing properly • Confirm you are selecting the correct drying cycle and heat setting for your load • Unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet and wait 60 seconds, then plug back in to reset the system • Run a short test cycle without clothing to see if the error reoccurs • Verify adequate clearance around the dryer for proper ventilation and air intake • Check that the room temperature is above 50°F as cold ambient temperatures can affect heating elements
