Moderate

What to do

Why this happens

Possible causes include a clogged lint screen restricting airflow and leading to abnormal temperature readings, restricted vent system causing heat buildup, thermistor resistance out of range due to being open or shorted, or disconnected thermistor wiring harness.

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.
