Common Dryer Problems
If you're experiencing any of these issues with your dryer, our skilled technicians can diagnose and fix the problem quickly.
Dryer Won't Heat
The most common dryer complaint is a unit that tumbles but doesn't produce heat. This could be due to a failed heating element, thermal fuse, gas valve, or igniter. Our technicians can pinpoint the exact cause and restore heating function.
Dryer Won't Start
If your dryer won't turn on at all, it could indicate problems with the power supply, door switch, start switch, or control board. We'll diagnose the electrical issues and get your dryer running again.
Long Drying Times
When clothes take too long to dry, it often indicates clogged vents, a failing heating element, or blocked airflow. This not only wastes time and energy but can also be a fire hazard. We'll restore your dryer's efficiency.
Overheating
A dryer that gets too hot can damage clothes and create a fire hazard. This typically stems from a malfunctioning thermostat, blocked ventilation, or a faulty cycling thermostat. Our safety-focused repairs will protect your home and clothes.
Strange Noises
Grinding, thumping, or squealing sounds often indicate worn drum rollers, idler pulleys, or belt issues. Our technicians can identify the source of the noise and perform the necessary repairs to restore quiet operation.
Drum Won't Turn
If your dryer won't tumble, it could be due to a broken belt, worn drum rollers, failed motor, or seized bearings. We'll identify the mechanical problem and replace the necessary parts to get your dryer tumbling again.
Control Panel Issues
Modern dryers with digital displays and advanced features can experience electronic control panel failures. We repair or replace faulty control boards, sensors, and user interfaces to restore full functionality.
Auto Shutoff Problems
If your dryer doesn't stop automatically when clothes are dry or stops too soon, it likely indicates problems with moisture sensors, thermostats, or timer mechanisms. We'll calibrate or replace these components to ensure proper cycle completion.

Dryer Maintenance Tips
Proper maintenance can extend your dryer's lifespan and reduce the need for repairs. Here are some essential tips to keep your dryer running efficiently:
Clean the lint trap after every load
This simple habit improves airflow, reduces drying time, and helps prevent fires.
Clean the vent duct annually
Have your dryer vent professionally cleaned once a year to remove lint buildup that can restrict airflow and create fire hazards.
Don't overload the dryer
Overloading makes your dryer work harder, extends drying times, and increases wear on components.
Check the vent flap
Ensure the exterior vent flap opens properly when the dryer is running and closes when it's off to prevent debris and pests from entering.
Clean the drum
Wipe down the dryer drum monthly to remove residue from fabric softeners and laundry products that can build up over time.
Schedule professional maintenance
Have your dryer professionally inspected every 1-2 years to catch potential issues before they become major problems.
