Most electric dryers, including LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, and Samsung, do not have a dedicated physical reset button like a small red button you press. Instead, resetting is done through a power cycle or control panel button combination. The concept of a reset button comes from some older dryers that had a thermal overload button on the motor or a resettable thermal fuse, but modern dryers use one-time thermal fuses that must be replaced if blown, not reset. To reset your electric dryer, you perform a hard reset: turn it off with Power, unplug it from the 240-volt outlet or turn off the double 30-amp breaker for 5 to 10 minutes, press and hold Start/Pause for 5 seconds while unplugged to drain residual power, then plug back in and restart. Some models have a Control Lock reset by holding Control Lock for 3 seconds. For error codes like d80, d90, d95, the reset is cleaning the vent, not pressing a button. If your dryer has a removable back panel, you may find a thermal fuse or high-limit thermostat near the heating element housing that has continuity but no button. If you are looking for a reset after overheating, check the thermal fuse with a multimeter and replace it if open, and always clean the vent duct fully to prevent recurrence.
