If your dryer is not getting enough air movement, it can cause the unit to overheat and put you at risk of a potential fire. There are several different components that can become blocked and restrict ventilation, including the blower wheel, lint trap, heating element, thermal fuse, blower housing, and motor shaft. Additionally, if there is any kinking or crimping in the exhaust hose leading out of your dryer to the outside venting system, then this could also be restricting airflow and cause your dryer to overheat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few external things to check for when troubleshooting restricted airflow:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Clean the lint filter<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The lint filter should be cleaned before or after every load (yes, every single load!). A clogged lint filter can restrict airflow, causing the dryer to overheat. A clean lint filter will save you money on utility bills over time and help prevent fires.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Clean the exhaust vents<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The exhaust duct attached to the dryer should be cleaned at least once a year to remove any lint buildup. This will help to improve energy efficiency and can also prevent the dryer from overheating and potentially catching fire. You can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-clean-a-dryer-vent\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">learn to clean your dryer vent here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If all these components are clear and functioning properly but your clothes dryer still seems to be overheating, then it may be time to inspect it further. Keeping an eye on these components will help ensure that you don&#8217;t experience any more issues with your dryer overheating due to restricted airflow.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Damaged Or Clogged Lint Filter<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s possible that the culprit of your dryer&#8217;s overheating issue is a damaged or clogged lint filter. The filter works to capture lint and other debris from your clothes as they tumble in the dryer drum. Without a functioning filter, these items can become trapped inside your dryer where they can become a big problem. You should inspect and clean the filter regularly and also use a vacuum cleaner hose attachment to clean out any debris build-up in the filter housing. If the filter is damaged or missing, it may seem okay to continue to use your dryer, but you should replace it with an appropriate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/dryer-filter.html\">OEM part<\/a> immediately<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If all of these components appear to be working normally but your clothes dryer still seems to be overheating, then it may indicate an issue with the heating element itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Faulty Heating Element<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A faulty heating element can also be the cause of overheating. There are a few common signs to look for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The heating element is getting too hot. This is an indication that the heating element needs to be replaced.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you smell burning or other strange odors coming from your dryer, this may be due to a malfunctioning heating element.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you see scorching or damage on the heating element it should be replaced.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check for loose wiring connections at the control board that may cause a short.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you see these signs, you can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-replace-a-dryer-heating-element\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">learn to replace your dryer heating element here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Faulty Cycling Thermostat Bias Heater<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another common cause of an overheating dryer is a faulty cycling thermostat bias heater. The bias heater is attached to the cycling thermostat and works by regulating the amount of heat produced by the heating element.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you suspect that your cycling thermostat bias heater is causing the problem, there are a few signs to look out for. For example, if your dryer runs for an extended period of time or if clothes take longer than usual to dry, you may need to test and replace the cycling thermostat and bias heater assembly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-Limit Thermostat Issues<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dryer high-limit thermostat is a safety component that prevents the dryer from overheating. It monitors the temperature inside the dryer drum and if it reaches a certain limit, the thermostat will shut off power to the heating element. This helps prevent fires and damage to your clothes by ensuring that the dryer doesn&#8217;t get too hot. So, essentially, it&#8217;s a crucial part of your dryer&#8217;s safety system!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An overheating dryer could mean that the dryer&#8217;s high-limit thermostat has failed. If you experience any overheating symptoms, it&#8217;s important to diagnose the issue and replace any faulty parts before continued usage, including the high-limit thermostat if necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Failed Blower Wheel<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another potential cause of a clothes dryer overheating is the blower wheel. The blower wheel is in a housing and attaches to the motor to move the hot air through the drum and out of the dryer vent. If it becomes damaged or clogged with lint or other debris, it can cause your dryer to overheat. Unusual noises during the drying cycle may be due to damage or blockage in the blower wheel.\u00a0 If you think this is the source of your problem, it&#8217;s important to check it right away in order to avoid additional damage to the motor. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-disassemble-a-dryer-with-video\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn to disassemble a dryer here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to check whether your blower wheel is blocked or damaged.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is It Safe To Use A Dryer If It Is Overheating?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The old adage, &#8220;better safe than sorry,&#8221; certainly applies when dealing with an overheating dryer. While there can be various reasons for overheating, the top offenders are often a clogged vent or excessive heat generated by the unit. It&#8217;s crucial to address these issues promptly and properly as they can pose significant safety hazards. Don&#8217;t take any chances when it comes to your dryer and home\u2019s safety!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To stay safe, here are some tips to consider if your clothes dryer is overheating:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t use the dryer until you&#8217;ve determined the root cause of the problem and fixed it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure your exhaust vent is clear. A vacuum cleaner can be used if needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean the lint filter before or after each use to ensure proper airflow.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspect the exhaust hose for any damages or kinks and replace if necessary.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid overloading the dryer by only loading it with the recommended amount of clothing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry large items like bedding separately<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select the correct setting for your clothes dryer using the use and care instructions<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, never operate a clothes dryer that&#8217;s overheating &#8211; it&#8217;s not worth the risk! Take steps to identify what&#8217;s causing it and take measures to eliminate or reduce its impact before using it again. This will help ensure that your dryer operates safely and efficiently for many years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve discussed the common causes of overheating, from clogged vents to faulty blower wheels and heating elements.
