The dryer has a internal thermostatic "Klixon" type switch that cycles the
elements on and off maintaining an average temperature that is acceptable
for clothes drying. It may have two - one for hi temp and one for low.
What ever the case may be, it sounds like it is malfunctioning. Call an
appliance repair person to check this out as a fire may be in the offing.

Hi,
My GE electric dryer is super heating randomly...we always use timed
dry (60-80 minutes)...on random loads the dryer will heat the clothes
too hot to touch...I've check for a lint clog...the timer
runs...doesn't seem to get hung up...any ideas?

Thanks.
