Which Problems Do We Fix in dryers?
These are possible causes, not a remote diagnosis. A technician can check the appliance and explain the actual fault.
Problem 01
The Dryer Won't Heat
If the drum turns but your clothes stay cold, check the breaker first. Electric dryers use a double breaker, and if only one side trips, the dryer can run without heating. If power is fine, a burned-out heating element, a blown thermal fuse, or a failed thermostat is usually the cause. A clogged vent often makes these parts fail, so it should be checked too.

Problem 02
Clothes Take Too Long to Dry
If a normal load needs two or three cycles, airflow is the first thing to check. Clean the lint screen before every load and make sure the vent hose behind the dryer isn't crushed or packed with lint. A restricted vent wastes energy and is a real fire risk. If airflow is good, a weak heating element, a faulty thermostat, or a dirty moisture sensor may be to blame.

Problem 03
The Drum Won't Turn
If you hear the motor run but the drum doesn't move, the drive belt has often snapped or slipped off. Worn drum rollers, a broken idler pulley, or a failing motor can also stop the drum from turning. Running the dryer this way can damage other parts, so it's best to stop and have it inspected.

Problem 04
Squealing, Thumping or Rumbling Noises
New noises usually mean something is wearing out. A high-pitched squeal often comes from a worn idler pulley or drum bearing. Thumping can point to worn drum rollers or a damaged belt, and scraping may mean worn drum glides or felt seals. Check pockets for coins and other small items first, as they can also make a lot of noise.
Arrange a diagnosis
Problem 05
The Dryer Won't Start
If the dryer stays silent when you press start, check that the door is fully closed, the cord is plugged in, and the breaker hasn't tripped. If everything looks fine, a faulty door switch, a failed start switch, a blown thermal fuse, or a bad motor may be stopping the dryer from running.
Arrange a diagnosis
Problem 06
The Dryer Gets Too Hot or Smells Like Burning
A dryer that is hot to the touch on the outside, scorches clothes or gives off a burning smell needs attention right away, so turn it off and unplug it. Lint buildup inside the cabinet or vent is a common cause, along with a faulty cycling thermostat that no longer controls the heat. Don't keep using the dryer until it has been checked.
Arrange a diagnosis
Problem 07
The Dryer Shuts Off Mid-Cycle
If the dryer stops before the clothes are dry, it may be overheating and shutting down for safety because the vent is restricted. An overheating motor, a dirty or faulty moisture sensor that ends the cycle too early, or a problem with the timer or control board can also make it stop early.

Should I repair my dryer or buy a new one?

Common fixes such as belts, fuses and heating elements are often affordable. Our technicians look at the condition of your machine and recommend the most practical option.
