Dryer problems are easier to discuss when symptoms are grouped clearly. Mention won't start or tumble, dryer not heating, and overheating, shutoff, or burning smell together if they are connected, and include whether the issue is constant, intermittent, or tied to a setting, load size, door position, or temperature change.
Note whether the same problem happens when the appliance is empty, lightly loaded, or used in a normal household pattern. If food, laundry, dishes, or ice are trapped by the failure, say that early so the call reflects the household impact. Do not force a stuck door, latch, drawer, burner, valve, shelf, or control because that can add damage before diagnosis. Good notes are especially useful when the appliance has several symptoms or has already been reset.
