Check and clean if necessary your vent hose. If you vent hose "seems" to be clean then,try running the dryer with the vent hose off and see if the dryer is not running hot anymore. Make sure your lint screen is in place and has no tears or holes in it and is still firmly attached to the frame. If you are running too hot you are not moving enough air thru the system. It could be that the fan blade is plugged up. The problem could be a large lint ball build up in the center of the fan or a sock,thin pants,a pen,etc. that has gotten into the fan by falling down the hole where the lint screen is normally inserted. You have to find the air restriction to solve the problem. It also can be a loose or worn out blower wheel/fan. Please take time to rate me.
I have checked everything that you have pointed out but the thermal fuse keeps blowing. Could it be the thermistor is bad? Thanks for your help.I have checked everything that you have pointed out but the thermal fuse keeps blowing. Could it be the thermistor is bad? Thanks for your help.
