Dryer does not get hot enough, have to run another cycle or two.

If your Hotpoint dryer is running very hot after you replaced the thermal fuse and thermostat, it's possible that there is an issue with the heating element. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check the heating element: The heating element is responsible for heating the air inside the dryer. Over time, it can become damaged or break, which can cause the dryer to run very hot. To check the heating element, unplug the dryer and remove the back panel to access the element. Use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If there is no continuity, the heating element is faulty and will need to be replaced.
2. Check the cycling thermostat: The cycling thermostat is responsible for regulating the temperature inside the dryer. If it is not functioning properly, it can cause the dryer to run too hot. Use a multimeter to test the thermostat for continuity. If there is no continuity, the thermostat is faulty and will need to be replaced.
3. Check the airflow: Restricted airflow can also cause the dryer to run too hot. Make sure that the vent hose is not kinked or blocked and that the lint filter is clean. Check the outside vent hood to make sure that it is not clogged with lint or debris.
4. Check the control board: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's possible that there is a problem with the control board. This will require further diagnosis and possibly replacement of the control board.

If you are not comfortable troubleshooting or repairing the dryer yourself, it's recommended that you seek the assistance of a qualified appliance repair technician.

If your Maytag MDE4658AYW electric dryer is running hot on all settings, even on air fluff, it is likely that the heating element is not working properly. Make sure that the heating element is securely connected to the dryer and that the power switch is in the "on" position. If the problem persists, you may need to replace the heating element or contact the manufacturer for assistance.

Make sure a heating cycle is selected. Air and Fluff cycles do not use heat.

Make sure that both phases of 120 volt power are energized (total of 240 volts between the 2 phases).

Most likely the heating element is damaged, which usually means there is no heat at all. A dryer with 2 heating elements will have some heat, but not have enough, when 1 heating element stops working. A dryer with 1 heating element can partially fail and have partial heat, too.

Sounds like you may have a bad heating element that has grounded. You should have this looked at to make sure if you aren ot handy to open the dryer up and inspect the heating element your self. make sure the element wire has not broken and fused itself to metal inside the dryer heater housing.

DRYER OVERHEATING:

Heating Element
A defective heating element can make a dryer too hot. If the element partially shorts out, it can produce heat all the time, regardless of whether the dryer is calling for heat. Remove the heating element to inspect it. The coils should not be touching each other or anything else.

Other Causes and Conditions
Air Flow Problem
Dryers need good ventilation to work properly. If the vent is clogged it can make the dryer too hot. Clean all of the vent tubing thoroughly.

Cycling Thermostat
Although not common, a defective cycling thermostat can make the dryer too hot. The cycling thermostat is supposed to turn on and off the heat to maintain the proper temperature. If the thermostat is defective it may keep the heat on too long. The thermostat is not adjustable or repairable, it must be replaced.

Felt Seal
Most dryers have a felt seal at the front and rear of the drum to keep the heat inside the drum. If the felt seal is worn away or missing, the dryer may keep heating and make the dryer too hot. This is not common.

Blower Wheel
A defective blower wheel will not spin properly and will not vent the hot air, making the dryer too hot. Check to see if there is adequate airflow out of the dryer.

GOD IS still GOOD !!!!

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
I suspect that either the heating element is malfunctioning or the control board is. Sorry but either will mean an engineer's visit ;-0(
Sorry again,
Good luck,

change the hi-limit/cycling switch on the element case as it is getting weak and cycles the element too soon so you dont get enough heat output

Fist need to know if it is gas or electric dryer, it makes a difference.

If an electric dryer, It is possible that one of the heating elements has failed (burned out), which would still allow the other one to get hot, but not enough to completely dry the clothes during the normal timed or automatic drying cycles.

You can check this with an ohm/amp meter if you are comfortable with working around 220V-AC voltage, etc. You'll need to remove either the rear cover, (if your unit has rear access) or the top of the dryer and then the drum, to gain access to the electric drying elements. This depends on which model you have and how old a dryer it is, etc.

Once you've done that, you can sometimes see a broken drying element, if not, you can check for continuity with the ohm meter (make sure the power cord is unplugged!).

If you are unable to determine with this method, you can restore power and briefly put the dryer into a timed dry cycle (drum and drive belt removed, while you visually check for heating elements turning red/orange as they heat up. Only do that long enough to confirm which element is good, be very careful, as they get extremenly hot. Once you know which one is bad you can order your replacement by model number , etc. Hope that helps.

Most common cause of this is a clogged venting going to the outside to test this remove the vent from the back of the dryer and run a load if it drys ok them you know you have a venting issue and will need to be cleaned out if not plz repost and we can look deeper into it

Either the heater element is breaking or is loose and getting only 110V instead of 240V.  First I would check the wall outlet with a voltmeter for 240V between Line1 and Line2.  Also check the connections and continuity for the heater element.
