Common Dryer Issues We Fix
Dryer won’t start
Typical culprits include a failed door switch, blown thermal fuse, faulty start switch, or defective control board. We verify incoming voltage at the outlet, test the line fuse and door circuit for continuity, and check the motor windings with an ohmmeter. If a board is suspect, we inspect for scorched traces or swollen capacitors before replacing.
No heat or not enough heat
Heat loss often points to a burned heating element, open high-limit thermostat, failed cycling thermostat, or tripped thermal cutoff—but restricted airflow can mimic all of these. We measure vent temperature rise, inspect the lint housing and blower wheel for blockage, and confirm element resistance against spec. If you’ve noticed longer dry times or warm-but-damp loads, this is your section.
Drum not spinning
When the motor hums but the drum rests, look to a stretched or broken drive belt, seized drum rollers, worn idler pulley, or a failed motor start winding. We remove the front panel, assess belt tension and tracking, spin-test rollers for flat spots, and check motor capacitor performance under load.
Dryer makes unusual noises
Squeaks, thumps, and scraping are classic roller, idler, or glide wear. Rattles may be a loose blower wheel or foreign debris in the housing. We isolate the noise with a stethoscope, then replace worn parts in matched sets (e.g., both rollers) to keep the machine quiet for the long haul.
Common Dryer Parts We Fix
Heating element
The heart of electric drying. We test for continuity and inspect the coil for breaks or hot spots where the element has sagged to the housing. Replacement includes new insulators when required, and we verify proper cycling afterward to protect the new part.
Drive belt
A frayed or stretched belt slips under load and ruins dry times. We replace with the correct rib pattern and tension, align the idler, and hand-spin the drum to confirm true tracking before power-on.
Thermal fuse
This single-use safety link opens when exhaust temps spike—usually from airflow restrictions. We never just swap the fuse; we find and correct the root cause (lint clogs, crushed vent, blocked exterior hood) so it doesn’t blow again next week.
Thermostat
Your dryer uses a cycling thermostat to regulate heat and a high-limit thermostat as backup. We test both against temperature specs and replace out-of-tolerance units. Afterward, we verify temperature cycling with a thermocouple at the exhaust.
