Why Your Dryer Is Not Heating Properly

Dryers need airflow as much as heat. When lint builds up in the vent, the dryer may overheat internally and shut down safety components. If clothes take more than one full cycle to dry, it is worth checking airflow before replacing parts.

When to call a technician

• The appliance shows the same error code again after reset.
• You notice burning smell, leaking, unusual noise, or repeated shutdowns.
• The repair involves electrical testing, gas, sealed refrigeration components, or disassembly.
