An overheated dryer can cause a fire. This is why everyone should be proactively cautious of the temperatures attained by a dryer. This overheating problem is triggered by many factors. You may have overloaded the dryer. It is always safer to not breach the capacity limit of a dryer. Remain well within the upper threshold is practical, wise, and also leads to more efficient and effective drying. If you are not overloading, then check the other controls.
Setting a higher temperature, opting for a longer duration through the timer, choosing a wrong cycle, and stressing or wearing out the dryer with too many sessions within a short span of time can lead to overheating. The heat sensor, timer, and heating element could also be responsible for overheating. Any kind of lapse or defective in these crucial components can lead to a malfunctioning dryer. Clogged vents, both inlets and outlets, inside the dryer can also lead to overheating.
Uneven circulation of heat, poor airflow, obstructions created by clothes or debris buildup inside the dryer, and failing cycles including the spin could lead to overheating. Broken components, from the thermostat to the heating element, the drum and belt to the motor and the central control board, can cause overheating. Our technicians can inspect all likely and unlikely causes, carry out onsite dryer repair on the same day, and also replace parts if they are broken.
