Why does my dryer stop during a cycle and start beeping?

If your dryer stops during a cycle and starts beeping, there are a few possible reasons.

  • Door is not closed properly. This is the most common reason why a dryer will stop and beep. Make sure that the door is closed all the way and that the latch is engaged.
  • Lint trap is full. A full lint trap can restrict airflow and cause the dryer to overheat. Clean the lint trap before each use.
  • Exhaust vent is blocked. A blocked exhaust vent can also restrict airflow and cause the dryer to overheat. Check the exhaust vent hose for any kinks or blockages.
  • Temperature sensor is faulty. The temperature sensor is responsible for regulating the temperature inside the dryer. If the sensor is faulty, it can cause the dryer to stop and beep.
  • Motor is overheating. If the dryer motor is overheating, it will automatically shut off to prevent damage. If the motor is overheating, you will need to have it repaired or replaced.

If you have checked all of these possible causes and your dryer is still stopping and beeping, you may need to call a qualified appliance repair technician.

  • What is a temperature sensor?
    • A temperature sensor is a device that measures the temperature of the air inside the dryer.
