The condition at the start of drying can help describe intermittent behaviour, but it should come from ordinary use rather than deliberate repeated tests.
Understanding this situation
A fault seen only after a previous cycle may have a different pattern from one occurring every time. This does not identify a temperature sensor or other part, and a safe cooling period should not be bypassed.
A useful next step
Keep the programme sequence and waiting time with the observation. If the machine has tripped, overheated or produced a burning smell, leave it unused. Let an engineer decide appropriate testing rather than alternating hot and cold starts to force the problem.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
