Why does my dryer get so hot?

Is it normal for dryers to get hot?

It could be caused by a blocked exhaust vent. Air flow is reduced when the exhaust vent is blocked. The rising temperature in the dryer will cause the top dryer to feel hot. This will usually also trip the high limit thermostat. Make sure to check the vent cap on the exterior of the dryer to ensure that it is fully open when the dryer runs.

What is the maximum temperature a dryer can get? Depending on the dryer's design, the dryer should reach a temperature of 130-140F on medium. The temperature at high should reach 140-155F on high. These temperatures should be the same regardless of whether you are wearing clothing. Poor drying can be caused by a poorly installed dryer vent, which is often plugged, partially plugged, or plugged.
