Heating Element
A defective heating element can make a dryer
too hot. If the element partially shorts out, it can produce heat all
the time, regardless of whether the dryer is calling for heat. Remove
the heating element to inspect it. The coils should not be touching each
other or anything else.
Heating Element Assembly
A defective heating element assembly can make
a dryer too hot. If the element partially shorts out, it can produce
heat all the time, regardless of whether the dryer is calling for heat.
Remove the heating element assembly to inspect it. The coils should not
be touching each other or anything else.
Air Flow Problem
Dryers need good ventilation to work
properly. If the vent is clogged it can make the dryer too hot. Clean
all of the vent tubing thoroughly.
Cycling Thermostat
Although not common, a defective cycling
thermostat can make the dryer too hot. The cycling thermostat is
supposed to turn on and off the heat to maintain the proper temperature.
If the thermostat is defective it may keep the heat on too long. The
thermostat is not adjustable or repairable, it must be replaced.
Felt Seal
Most dryers have a felt seal at the front and
rear of the drum to keep the heat inside the drum. If the felt seal is
worn away or missing, the dryer may keep heating and make the dryer too
hot. This is not common.
Blower Wheel
A defective blower wheel will not spin
properly and will not vent the hot air, making the dryer too hot. Check
to see if there is adequate airflow out of the dryer.
