No, standard residential clothes dryers do not feature a physical, dedicated "Reset" button or internal reset switch labeled on the control panel or motor housing. Instead, appliance manufacturers design modern electronic and mechanical dryers to be reset through specific power interruption sequences, such as unplugging the unit for five minutes to clear control board memory. Some older European or specific commercial tumble dryers feature a manual red high-limit thermal overload button on the rear housing, but standard North American household dryers do not. You can troubleshoot control status easily. You can verify that your reset action was successful when disconnecting electrical power clears stored microchip errors, allowing the control panel to reboot and operate normally once plugged back in.
