Laundry feels unusually hot after drying

A changed heat impression needs the programme and fabric context. A deliberately hot setting and an unexpected burning smell are different concerns.

Describe the change

Compare a familiar load and selection rather than touching hot internal surfaces. Include whether the programme ended normally or was interrupted.

Stop if there is a warning sign

Do not repeat a cycle to recreate scorching, smoke or a burning smell. Suitable professional assessment can consider the actual model and controls without a remote overheating diagnosis.

A useful distinction

A load removed before a programme has finished may have a different condition from one removed after its normal end. Give the actual sequence without running another cycle to compare an alarming result.
