What Is the Hottest Temperature on a Dryer?
After the early 1990s, some dryer manufacturers actually reduced the internal temperature. Modern dryers have at least three general cycles: low heat for delicates, medium heat for permanent press and high heat for regular clothes. The temperature range is 125 to 135 F across these cycles.

Likewise, people ask, is sanitize hotter than hot on dryer?

Sanitize cycles reach temperatures in excess of 140°F to kill off most nasty germs—just like dishwashers. Dryers with Sanitize cycles accomplish the same thing. But keep in mind, this intense heat can quickly wear out fabrics and shorten their lifespan.

Subsequently, question is, is it bad to dry clothes on high heat? While high heat can dry your clothes faster, though, it isn't always a good idea. It's energy-inefficient, bad for your clothes, and bad for your dryer.

How can I check the temperature of my dryer?

You can place a thermostat in the exhaust air and check what temperatures the dryer is cycling on and off at. Any thermometer with a range between 100 to 200 degrees can be used to check the temperature of the exhaust air.

Does the dryer kill bacteria?

It's not so much the heat, per se, of the dryer that kills germs, bacteria, etc. It's the dryness. Drying is a pretty good sterilizer - it kills most everything. Some bacteria will sporulate (as will fungi, and molds) and will regenerate when wet again, but they typically can't do so in the time frame of a dryer cycle.
