Likely Causes

Thermal safety fuse tripping

Usually from overheating due to restricted airflow.

Door switch losing contact intermittently

Can cut power mid-cycle even with the door closed.

Moisture sensor miscalibration

Can cause the dryer to think a load is already dry.

What You Can Safely Check Yourself

Check that the vent isn't blocked and the door is latching solidly.

When to Call a Professional
