Dryer too hot




By dbranham1 on Nov 24, 2007

" "
My dryer seems to be getting too hot.  The back of the machine gets too hot to touch and the clothes that come out of the dryer are EXTREMELY hot.  I'm afraid that it is a fire hazard.  Any repair or checks that I could do before calling a repairman?

-   my whirlpool dryer gets so hot inside that my clothes come out smelling burnt. Even on the low setting after 2 minutes of running the metal grate in the back is too hot to touch and have actually burnt my fingers. Forget about putting sinthentic clothes in cuz the actually burn. Is there something wrong with my drier. My service guy says that is normal but when your clothes burn on the low setting what am I supposed to do?-   Guest

You will want to make sure the lint screen and vent are free and clear.
If the dryer is blowing out the vent outside the house as it should, then you have a thermostat problem.
If the operating thermostat does not open properly then the element will cycle by the hi-limit thermostat which will cause the dryer to heat more than normal.
