Overheating or too hot

When clothes are still damp after a cycle, check in this order: 1) Lint filter clean? 2) Exhaust vent restricted? 3) Outside hood damper door stuck? 4) Use 4-inch rigid metal exhaust duct. 5) Do not overload (1 wash load = 1 dryer load). 6) Separate heavy and light items. 7) Washer draining properly with adequate water extraction? 8) Load too small to tumble (add towels)? 9) Load too large (remove items)? 10) Eco Dry turned off? Most 'not drying' complaints are airflow or loading issues, not component failures.

Before replacing a PCB, ensure all troubleshooting steps have been completed and if possible verified using HASS diagnostics. The manual explicitly warns against replacing PCBs based on guesswork. Follow the complete trouble diagnosis procedure before concluding the PCB is faulty.

This dryer platform has both DUAL and SINGLE heater configurations. DUAL heater: 13 ohm between PIN 2-3, 34 ohm between PIN 1-2 (rated 240V, 3700-1500W). SINGLE heater: 10 ohm between PIN 1-3 (rated 240V, 5300W). Check the model-specific configuration before testing. One element can fail in a dual heater while the other works, resulting in reduced heating rather than complete loss of heat.

Electric model thermistors read 10K ohm at 25 deg C, while gas model thermistors read 238.23K ohm at 25 deg C. These are wildly different values. Using the wrong reference value will lead to incorrect diagnosis. Always verify whether you are working on an electric (DVE) or gas (DVG) model before testing the thermistor.
