• Check your home's circuit breaker panel to ensure the 240V breaker serving the dryer has not tripped; reset it if necessary
• Unplug the dryer or turn off the dedicated circuit breaker and wait 60 seconds, then restore power to perform a full system reset
• Remove and inspect the lint filter, cleaning out all accumulated lint thoroughly
• Check the external dryer vent on the back of your home to ensure it is not blocked by lint, debris, or bird nests
• Inspect the flexible dryer vent hose (if accessible) for kinks, disconnections, or blockages that could restrict airflow
• Ensure you are not overloading the dryer drum; try running a smaller load to test
• Verify the dryer door closes completely and latches securely with an audible click
• Empty all pockets from clothing and remove any items that may have fallen between the drum and door seal
• Run a test cycle on an air-dry or cool setting to determine if heat is the only issue
