• Verify the dryer is receiving proper 240V power by plugging in a lamp or other appliance to the same outlet
• Remove and thoroughly clean the lint filter, checking for blockages or lint buildup
• Inspect the dryer vent hose and exterior vent opening for lint clogs or restrictions
• Ensure the dryer door is fully closed and latches securely with an audible click
• Do not overload the dryer; use appropriate load sizes according to your model's capacity guidelines
• Check that all buttons are functioning and responding normally when pressed
• Perform a hard reset by switching the circuit breaker to OFF, waiting 60 seconds, then switching back ON
• Verify that the dryer is not located in an area with extreme temperature fluctuations or high humidity
• Ensure no lint or debris is visible around the door seal or exterior vents
