Use it much? If you have a dryer with a timer, you will notice at the end of the cycle there is a blue bit, the 'cool down'..it takes up about 5-10 minutes of time. My understanding was that this was so the clothes would not settle hot and crease.
The extra care option is a convenient feature when the clothing is not going to be removed immediately at the end of the drying cycle. If the optional extra care cycle is ON, the clothes will continue to tumble, with no heat, for approximately 15 minutes. This is called the COOL DOWN period.
It monitors the temperature within the dryer's heating chamber. If the temperature reaches an unsafe level, the thermal fuse will blow or trip, cutting off the electrical circuit to the heating element. This action prevents the dryer from continuing to heat, reducing the risk of overheating and potential fire hazards.
Common reasons for a Samsung dryer to be stuck on cooling Lack or loss of gas. Leak in your system. Need to recharge the gas. Need to find and fix the leak. Re-vacuum and recharge the gas.

The 'cool down' cycle lowers the temperature of the drying clothes and reduces the risk of hot clothes in the drum igniting. Avoid removing clothes from the tumble dryer, or piling or stacking them while hot.
Defective Heating Element: A defective heating element is a common cause. This component is responsible for generating heat and drying your clothes. If it's faulty, it will need to be replaced by a professional technician.

Common reasons for an electric or gas dryer failing to heat up properly include tripped circuit breakers, clogged vents, and no gas flow. Other causes, like a faulty thermal fuse or a broken heating element, could also be to blame.
Replacing a dryer thermostat ranges from $100 to $260.
Signs of a Faulty Dryer Thermostat
A malfunctioning thermostat can also cause the dryer to overheat and become a potential fire hazard, or it may prevent the air from heating up at all. Don't ignore these signs, as they can lead to increased energy bills and even cause damage to your dryer or home.
