Dryer Repair
We look at clothes dryers that will not heat, take too long or stop mid-cycle. Airflow and lint are checked first, because blocked airflow is a common cause and a safety concern.
Common symptoms
- Dryer will not start
- Dryer runs but does not heat
- Dryer gets too hot
- Clothes still damp after a cycle
- Drying takes much longer than before
- Drum not turning
- Unusual noises or vibration
- Stopping partway through a cycle
- An error code on the display
Possible causes
- A lint-blocked filter or vent restricts airflow.
- A failed heating element, thermostat or thermal fuse.
- A worn belt, rollers or motor.
- A faulty door switch.
- A moisture sensor or control board fault.
- A clogged condenser unit on condenser dryers.

Repair or replace?
Cleaning lint from the filter and airflow path solves many complaints. Heating elements, thermostats, belts and rollers can be replaced. We tell you when a repair no longer makes sense for an older dryer.
Stop using the dryer immediately if you notice a burning smell, smoke, sparking or unusual heat. Unplug it if it is safe to do so, and contact us.
Care tips
- Clean the lint filter after every load.
- Do not overload the drum.
- Do not dry items that have flammable residue such as oil or solvents.
- Ask for the venting to be checked if drying times keep growing.
Questions about this service
Why is my dryer not heating?
It may be a failed heating element, thermostat or thermal fuse, or a blocked airflow path causing the safety parts to cut the heat. An inspection tells which.
Why does my dryer take so long?
Lint in the filter or vent is the most common reason. Sensor or heating faults can also be responsible.
Do you repair washer-dryer combination units?
Yes, tell us the brand and model and describe whether the washing or the drying side is faulty.
