The short answer
The DHP family is a tumble dryer platform sold by Blomberg, and the models in the table below share the build that makes these faults behave alike. The dominant complaint is a dryer that tumbles but does not heat.
Problems on these models
- The drum turns but the air stays cold — Check the exhaust duct before anything else: a restriction is usually what opened the protection device. See that page. — Slug: blomberg-blomberg-dryer-dhp-dryer-heating-failure
- Cycles end early with wet clothes, or never finish — Run a timed cycle: if that dries, the sensing path rather than the heating path is at fault. See that page. — Slug: blomberg-blomberg-dryer-dhp-dryer-cycle-fault
- Rumble, squeal, rattle or scrape from the cabinet — Which sound it makes and whether it fades as the machine warms names the worn part. See that page. — Slug: blomberg-blomberg-dryer-dhp-dryer-abnormal-noise
- Nothing happens when start is pressed — A dead panel is a supply question; a lit panel with no rotation points at the door switch. See that page. — Slug: blomberg-blomberg-dryer-dhp-dryer-wont-start
Problem classes by frequency
- A dryer that tumbles but does not heat — Most reported on this family: the dominant complaint on this family, and the duct is behind most of it.
- Cycles that stop early, run forever or never sense dry — Next, it usually arrives before an outright no-heat, because a restricted duct lengthens cycles first.
- A dryer that has become noisy — Next, a wear complaint that arrives with age rather than as a sudden failure.
- A dryer that will not start — Least reported here: frequently the same one-shot protection device that also stops the heat.

What is owner-fixable
The duct and the filter are yours; the cabinet is not. A thermal device is replaced only after the restriction that opened it is cleared, and that is a job with the machine isolated and open.
