Can a garment's metal trim feel hotter than its fabric?

Different materials can feel different to the touch after drying. Metal zips, buttons or decorative parts need care during unloading, and a touch comparison does not measure the programme temperature.

Understanding this situation

Follow the complete cooling and unloading sequence for the model and check whether the garment's trim was permitted for machine drying. An unusually hot or damaged item should not be dismissed as a normal feature.

A useful next step

Allow safe normal finishing and avoid grasping hot metal immediately. If there is burning, melting or abnormal overall heat, stop using the appliance and report it. Do not run another identical load purely to compare temperatures by hand.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
