Standard North American residential clothes dryers do not feature a physical reset button or thermal reset switch. However, certain European condenser or vented tumble dryer models feature a manual high-limit thermostat reset button located on the rear exterior panel or directly on the heater housing box behind the back service cover. This small red or black button trips if the machine overheats due to lint clogs. You can troubleshoot thermal trips safely by unplugging the unit. You can verify that your reset is successful when pressing this physical button until it clicks, reassembling the rear panel, and plugging the dryer in restores normal heating and motor operation.
