Common dryer problems
Why is your dryer not working correctly?
Heating, airflow, drum movement, sensors, wiring, and controls work together. We test the complete drying system before recommending a repair.
Takes too long to dry
Loads require multiple cycles because heat, airflow, moisture sensing, or exhaust performance is below specification.
Drum will not turn
A broken belt, worn pulley, seized roller, weak motor, or obstruction can stop the drum.
Will not start
The controls may respond while the cycle does not begin, or the dryer may appear completely dead.
Squealing or thumping
Worn rollers, glides, bearings, an idler pulley, or debris can create repeating noise as the drum turns.
Stops during the cycle
Restricted airflow, overheating, a weak motor, or a failing connection can stop the dryer after it warms up.
Overheating or burning smell
Excessive cabinet heat or an unusual odor can signal blocked ventilation, lint buildup, friction, or an electrical fault.
Error codes
The display may report airflow, temperature, motor, door, moisture-sensor, or communication faults.

Repair or replace?
Repair decisions should include heat, airflow, and drum condition
Long drying times do not automatically mean the dryer is worn out. We identify the failed system and check ventilation before you invest in replacement.
Repair may make sense
The dryer is otherwise dependable and the fault involves ignition, a heater, fuse, belt, roller, sensor, or another serviceable component.
Replacement may be smarter
There is severe drum or cabinet damage, repeated major failures, extensive corrosion, or critical parts are unavailable.
Protect against overheating
Stop using the dryer if you smell burning, see smoke, hear metal grinding, or the cabinet becomes unusually hot.

Answers before your service visit
Tell us whether the dryer is gas or electric, what the drum does, and whether heat appears. Those details help us prepare.
Call 949-382-0942Why is my dryer running but not heating?
Possible causes include a failed heater or ignition part, thermal fuse, thermostat, sensor, wiring, restricted vent, or control problem.
Why does my dryer take two or three cycles?
Long drying times often come from restricted airflow, low heat output, moisture-sensor problems, a weak blower, or an overloaded cycle.
