Yes, you can. Just open the door and when finished just push the start button and will begin where it left off.
No. It is possible to interrupt the cycle and pull out the clothes before they cool down but this is not good for the dryer. A dryer needs the heat to escape from the heating element before it shuts down. It is the safest way to end the cycle. Some coin operated dryers will stop before cooling down.

The cool down is a normal process of all dryers if set on automatic. All dryers run the dry cycle and then fluff cool to remove wrinkles and allow the cooling so you don't burn yourself with the hot clothes. If you don't want a cool down period then set the mode for ``more dry'' and not on auto or simple timed dry.
No, it is not safe to switch on a tumble dryer and go to sleep or leave it unattended. Tumble dryers generate heat to dry clothes, and there is a potential risk of fire if they are left running without supervision.
Is it Safe to Run a Dryer Empty? Yes, you can run a dryer without any clothes inside it. An empty clothes dryer requires less energy output and doesn't pose any extra risks.
Don't leave appliances unattended – don't turn the tumble dryer on before you leave the house or go to bed. Tumble dryers contain powerful motors with fast moving parts that can get very hot. Keep your dryer well ventilated, make sure the vent pipe is kink free and not blocked or crushed in any way.
It is not recommended to stop the drying course during operation. If there are no urgent reasons to do so, it is recommended to allow proceed until the course to finish. To stop the drying course before the cycle is finished, press the power switch to turn the dryer off.
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.
DO NOT OPEN the door mid cycle. You must let a tumble dryer complete its work and run through a full cycle. Checking to see if the laundry is dry by opening the door can damage the appliance, it could trip the thermostat, making the tumble dryer overheat and in some cases mean that we cannot reset the machine.
If you live in a detached house with ample distance between you and your neighbors, doing nightly laundry won't likely bother anyone. In contrast, if you share walls in an apartment or condo, it's in everyone's best interest to stick to daytime laundry hours.
The dryer's heating element and motor have to work harder, which can lead to overheating and potential breakdowns. Over time, this not only shortens the lifespan of your dryer but also increases the risk of fire hazards.
The high-limit thermostat, or thermal fuse, is a safety feature that's designed to trip whenever the dryer reaches a dangerous temperature. Once the thermal fuse reaches its threshold, it will turn off the heating element or dryer.
We do not recommend stopping the dryer early – all of our dryers are sensor dryers and will dry until the required drying result is achieved. If you want to end the cycle early on a washer dryer, you can turn the appliance off by pressing the Power switch.
Check and disable the delayed start option
It is possible that your tumble dryer has a delayed start option enabled. If your product has a display, you will see the countdown to the delayed start time. If the product does not have a display, a light will flash next to a time symbol, e.g. 4h-8h-12h.
Modern dryers are often energy-efficient, but running a dryer continuously, especially if it is not fully loaded, can lead to unnecessary energy consumption and higher energy costs. This is not only detrimental to the wallet, but also contributes to a larger carbon footprint.
Typically, a gas or electric dryer should take about 30 to 45 minutes to dry a full load of clothes. Dense fabrics—like a quilt or a load of thick bath towels—may take up to an hour to dry. If your dryer's taking too long to dry your laundry, it's important to figure out what's wrong instead of ignoring it.
How Do You Know if the Dryer is Too Hot? The tell-tale sign that your dryer is too hot is damage to your clothes. If you pull your clothes out of the dryer and notice that there are burn marks on them, your dryer is running far too hot. If your dryer is hot to the touch, that may be another sign of too much heat.
Running the dryer while you're not home, and even sleeping, can be extremely hazardous. Like, burning your house down hazardous.
Don't stop the dryer mid cycle. It is possible that heat can continue to build in the drum and lead the clothes to ignite. This can occur several hours after the dryer has been stopped.
Most modern washing machines have a “pause” or “stop” button that allows you to interrupt the cycle safely. For front-loading machines, pressing this button will often unlock the door, enabling you to add or remove items.
Let The Machine Rest After Each Load
Running the machine consecutively for more than one load can overheat the mechanism and damage the machine. The dryer needs time to cool down. You should ideally keep a minimum duration of at least 30 minutes between cycles.
No. To avoid a fire hazard you should always ensure that you don't leave your dryer running when you're not at home. There should also be enough airflow around the dryer at all times. Fire authorities encourage regular maintenance and recommend you keep an eye on them while in use.
The >Energy Saving Trust tells us that a tumble dryer uses roughly 4.5 kWh per cycle on average and that, as of April 2022, the average cost for electricity in the UK is 28.3p per kWh. Working on those averages, a tumble dryer would cost you £1.27 per cycle, or £132.44 a year if you use your tumble dryer twice a week.
Yes, run one cycle empty so the dryer can "burn" off and out gases from the materials, as these may get into the first load of clothes.
