Several reasons can cause a dryer to stop heating, such as a faulty heating element, thermostat, or thermal fuse. A broken timer or control board issue could also be the culprit. It’s best to have a professional technician diagnose and fix the problem.

Dryer vents should be cleaned regularly, ideally at least once a year, to prevent lint buildup and maintain proper airflow. If you notice your clothes taking longer to dry than usual, it’s a sign that the vent may be clogged and needs cleaning

A drum that doesn’t rotate could be due to a broken drive belt, motor, or idler pulley. While some people with mechanical skills might attempt this repair, it’s best left to a professional, as disassembling the dryer can be complex and dangerous.

The decision to repair or replace an old dryer depends on the extent of the damage, the age of the appliance, and the cost of repairs. A professional technician can help you assess the situation and make an informed choice.

Loud noises like squeaking or rattling could indicate worn-out drum bearings or rollers. While not necessarily dangerous, they can lead to further damage if left unaddressed. It’s best to have the issue fixed promptly to avoid more significant problems.

Using a dryer with a damaged or missing lint filter is unsafe and can lead to lint buildup inside the appliance and the vent, increasing the risk of fire. Always ensure the filter is in good condition and properly installed before using the dryer

Regularly clean the lint filter after each use, ensure proper venting, avoid overloading the dryer, and have it serviced by a professional technician periodically. These practices can help prolong your dryer’s life and maintain its efficiency.

The repair time can vary based on the issue and the availability of replacement parts. Simple repairs may be completed on the same day, while complex problems might take longer if specific parts need to be ordered. A professional technician can provide a more accurate timeframe after diagnosing the problem.

If the dryer doesn’t start or heat and the internal temperature is too high, the thermal fuse may be blown. Use a multimeter to check for continuity.

Check for a tripped circuit breaker, a faulty door switch or a broken thermal fuse. Troubleshoot these components to identify and address the problem.
