• Remove and clean the lint trap thoroughly, checking for accumulated lint that may be restricting airflow• Inspect the exterior exhaust vent hood while the dryer is running to confirm warm air is venting outside; if weak or no airflow detected, check for duct blockages• Trace the exhaust duct from the dryer to the outside vent and look for kinks, pinches, or accumulated lint buildup• Verify the circuit breaker for your dryer (typically 240V dual-pole breaker) has not tripped; reset if necessary• Ensure the dryer door closes completely and latches firmly; a partially open door may trigger safety sensors• Check that you are selecting appropriate drying cycles and temperature settings for your load• Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet for 60 seconds to perform a full power reset, then plug back in and attempt to run a short test cycle• Verify there are no objects blocking the interior drum or damaging lint filter housing• Allow the dryer to cool for 30 minutes if it has been running continuously, as thermal sensors may need reset time
