Note whether the same problem happens when the appliance is empty, lightly loaded, or used in a normal household pattern. For intermittent symptoms, note how long the appliance runs before the problem appears and what happens when it stops. Avoid repeated resets when the same warning returns, since the pattern itself can be useful during diagnosis. A practical symptom summary helps connect the request with related repair services and problem guides.
If another appliance function still works, mention it. Knowing what still operates can help separate power, control, airflow, water, heat, or mechanical concerns.
If possible, keep the dryer area reachable and note whether dryer not heating, overheating, shutoff, or burning smell, and dryer takes too long happened before or after a cycle, load, door opening, temperature change, or power reset.
