Your dryer's temperature sensor isn't reading correctly

Moderate

What to do

Why this happens

Causes may include a clogged lint screen restricting airflow and leading to abnormal temperature readings, restricted vent system causing heat buildup, or thermistor resistance being out of range due to an open circuit or short.

How to fix it

Clean the lint screen and check that your exhaust vent isn't blocked or kinked. If that doesn't fix it, the temperature sensor likely needs replacing — a technician can handle that.
