Common Dryer Problems We Fix
01.
Dryer Spinning But Not Heating
One of the most common dryer complaints is clothes not drying properly. We test for the cause and, when confirmed, replace blown thermal fuses, burnt-out heating elements on electric models, or faulty gas valve coils and igniters on gas models to restore reliable heat and drying performance.
03.
Loud Squeaking, Thumping, or Grinding Noises
A screeching dryer will drive you crazy. Squeaking, thumping, or grinding can come from worn drum rollers, an idler pulley, glides, a belt, a blower wheel, or motor components. We inspect the dryer, identify the source, and recommend the appropriate repair.
05.
Burning Smell During Operation (WARNING)
A burning smell can indicate lint buildup, a slipping belt, an overheating motor, damaged wiring, or another electrical or mechanical fault. Stop the dryer and disconnect power if it is safe to do so. Do not run it again until it has been inspected. If you see smoke or fire, leave the area and call 911.
02.
Taking Multiple Cycles to Dry
If it takes three hours to dry one load of towels, your machine is wasting massive amounts of electricity. We repair faulty moisture sensors and cycling thermostats, and can identify restricted airflow issues before they become a major fire hazard.
04.
Dryer Won't Start at All
If you press the start button and hear nothing, we can safely track down broken door switches, faulty push-to-start switches, or failed main control boards.
