did you clean the LINT filter? try vacuuming the lint trap area. wet or damp lint can get built up in the lint trap area. it is good to regularly clean the area as it is a Major fire hazard.

There is also another overheat module below the front door too. Check that. Also, forgive me for asking the very obvious, but have you checked the entire exhaust pipe to make sure that there is no restriction that would cause overheating.

If it's shutting off while it's running, it's probably the thermal overload fuse tripping and cutting off the power. This could be caused by a number of things, so if you can post back with the following information, I can assist you further more easily.

1. Your brand and model of dryer
2. Does the dryer turn back on quickly or do you have to wait about 15-30 minutes?
3. Is it making any unusual noises?

Thank you.

Press the Dedicates and Eco action button at the same time. Here is an online resource for the manual, that is what is listed on page 20. Bosch WTVC5530UC Manuals

Check the circuit breaker for the dryer. It most likely has one leg tripped internally. This will allow only 120 to operate the motor and controls, but not the heating element.

There is a centrifugal switch on the motor that kicks out when the motor is spinning fast enough that the start switch is no longer needed. The only way to fix this is to replace the motor If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/steven_a67ead41eb5fc62a

call an electrician to fix/replace the heater element or the heater switch

Yes, this is a problem for our Nexxt dryer as well. This may work for you. I took an old garden hose, cut about three feet off it, then took a cap from spray paint can, cut a hole in it the diameter of garden hose. Put the hose in the cap. The spray paint cap fits nicely on my shop vac. Took the shop vac in the laundry room and attached the spray cap with the garden hose inserted and vacuumed the lint from the slot using the end of the garden hose. Worked pretty well. If you don't have a shop vac you may be able to stick a flexible hose in the end of you home vac and hold it with your hand to seal it. That should be able to remove most of the lint. Good luck.
