The drum turns but the air is cold? Dryer heat is protected by several thermal cut-outs that open on overheating, and the most common cause of overheating is blocked airflow.
Possible causes
- Blocked lint filter or condenser
- Failed heating element
- Thermal cut-out tripped
- Faulty temperature sensor
- Heat-pump models: compressor or fan fault
Safe first checks you can do
Safety: unplug the appliance and close the water tap before any check, and never open the outer casing or electronic boards yourself.
- Clean the door filter after every cycle
- Clean the condenser or base filter depending on model
- Leave ventilation space around the dryer
