What Dryer Issues Do We Fix?

Dryer Not Heating

high priority

A dryer that tumbles but produces no heat leaves clothes damp and wastes your time. A burned-out heating element, a blown thermal fuse, or a faulty gas igniter are the most common causes. We restore proper heating so your laundry dries completely every cycle.

Dryer Not Tumbling

high priority

When the dryer drum won't turn, your clothes sit in a heap and don't dry. A broken drive belt, worn drum rollers, or a failed motor are typical culprits. Our technicians replace the faulty parts and verify smooth, balanced drum rotation.

Dryer Taking Too Long to Dry

medium priority

Extended drying times waste energy and wear out your clothes. A clogged lint filter, a blocked vent duct, or a failing heating element significantly reduce drying efficiency. We clean, inspect, and repair the entire airflow and heating system.

Dryer Making Loud Noises

medium priority

Squealing, thumping, or grinding noises from your dryer usually indicate worn mechanical parts. Drum rollers, the idler pulley, and drum glides are common wear items. Ignoring these sounds can lead to complete breakdowns. We replace worn parts before they cause further damage.

Dryer Not Starting

high priority

When your dryer won't turn on at all, the issue could be a faulty door switch, a blown thermal fuse, or a defective start switch. These are safety-critical components. Our technicians safely diagnose and replace the failed part to restore operation.

Dryer Overheating

high priority

An overheating dryer is a serious fire hazard. Restricted airflow from lint buildup, a failed cycling thermostat, or a defective high-limit thermostat can all cause excessive heat. Immediate professional repair is critical for your family's safety.

Dryer Drum Stuck or Seized

high priority

A seized dryer drum prevents any drying and can damage the motor if forced. Worn drum bearings, a broken belt, or an obstruction between the drum and housing are common causes. We free the drum and replace any worn components.

Dryer Leaving Clothes Wrinkled

low priority

Excessive wrinkling after drying can result from overloading, a malfunctioning moisture sensor, or an incorrect heat setting. While sometimes a usage issue, persistent wrinkling may indicate a failing sensor or timer. We diagnose the cause and optimize your dryer's performance.
