Common dryer problems we fix
| Symptom | Usual cause | Typical fix |
|---|---|---|
| Runs but no heat | Blown thermal fuse, bad heating element, failed thermostat (gas: igniter or valve coils) | Replace fuse, element, thermostat or gas igniter |
| Won’t tumble or start | Broken drive belt, worn idler pulley, faulty door switch | Replace belt/pulley or door/start switch |
| Takes too long to dry | Clogged vent or lint trap, weak element, bad moisture sensor | Clear the vent; replace element or sensor |
| Overheats or burning smell | Blocked vent, lint buildup near the element | Clear the vent right away (fire risk); clean interior |

| No power | Tripped breaker, bad cord, failed control board | Check power; repair or replace the board |
A burning smell or a dryer that’s hot to the touch usually means a blocked vent, which is a fire hazard. Stop using it and call us.
