Common Dryer Repair Questions & Answers.
A dryer that runs but doesn’t produce heat can have problems with the heating element, thermal fuse, or temperature switch. Other causes include tripped circuit breakers, clogged vents, or faulty thermostats.
A standard dryer load should typically dry in 30-45 minutes. If your dryer is taking significantly longer, it could indicate restricted airflow due to lint buildup, vent obstructions, or heating element problems.
Faulty moisture sensors can cause early shutdown; other possible reasons are:
- Restricted airflow, which can lead to overheating
- Malfunctioning thermostat
- Timer problems
Our technicians can check these components and repair or replace them as necessary to enable appropriate cycle completion.
Dryer vents should be cleaned by a professional at least once a year. Some conditions that require more frequent cleaning include:
- Homes with pets
- Large families
- Heavy dryer usage
A clogged vent is a serious fire hazard, reduces the efficiency of drying, increases the run time, and blows up your energy bill
Most dryers last for 10-13 years. If your dryer is less than eight years old, repair is generally less expensive than replacement. Our technicians can give an honest evaluation of your dryer and tell you whether repair or replacement is the way to go, based on the age of the unit, cost of the repair, and energy efficiency of the machine.
A dryer that trips the circuit breaker can have an electrical short in the heating element, a damaged power cord, or a faulty motor. At times, the problem is with the home’s electrical system if the circuit is overloaded.
Unusual noises like thumping, squealing, or grinding typically indicate mechanical problems. Common causes include worn drum rollers or bearings, a failing drive belt, objects caught in the drum, or problems with the blower wheel.
