Problems you may notice
• Dryer runs but clothes come out damp or wet
• Drying cycle takes significantly longer than normal
• Error code LO displays on the control panel
• Dryer may stop mid-cycle
• Clothes feel cold when removed from the dryer
• Dryer continues running without producing adequate heat
Possible Causes
• Clogged or restricted lint filter reducing airflow and heat circulation
• Blocked exhaust vent or dryer duct preventing proper ventilation
• Faulty thermal fuse that has blown due to overheating or normal wear
• Defective heating element not generating sufficient heat
• Malfunctioning temperature sensor providing incorrect readings
• Damaged or disconnected thermal cutoff switch
• Restricted airflow from improper dryer installation or positioning
• Low voltage supply from household electrical circuit
• Compromised exhaust ducting with kinks, bends, or lint accumulation
Precautionary measures
• Verify the dryer is plugged in securely and the outlet has power by testing with another appliance
• Check your home's circuit breaker panel to ensure the breaker for the dryer circuit has not tripped; reset if necessary
• Clean the lint filter thoroughly before each load and inspect for debris or blockages
• Inspect the exterior exhaust vent opening for lint buildup or obstructions; clear any visible debris
• Verify the exhaust duct behind the dryer is not kinked, bent, or disconnected
• Ensure the dryer door closes completely and latches properly with no gaps
• Check that you are not overloading the dryer with too many items
• Confirm you have selected the correct drying cycle for your load type and fabric
• Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker for 60 seconds, then restore power to perform a complete reset
• Allow adequate space around the dryer for proper air circulation and ventilation
• If the error persists after performing these checks, contact a professional appliance repair technician to diagnose heating element, thermal fuse, or sensor issues
