Why your dryer is overheating

Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before you call anyone, clear anything blocking the vents and make sure the space around the dryer allows normal airflow. Also, feel whether the exterior housing itself is hotter than usual, not just the interior, which points to a ventilation or fan problem. Should that not clear it, if it still overheats with clear airflow, a thermostat, sensor, or fan has failed, and running it further risks a real fire hazard — this is where to stop and call.
