Safety first
Stop using your dryer if...
These signs mean something is wrong with heat or airflow. Running more loads can make it worse.
Call (704) 555-0101- 01
You smell burning
A scorched or hot-dust smell usually points to lint near the heat source or a failing part. Turn it off and unplug it.
- 02
The cabinet is very hot to touch
The top and sides should feel warm, not hot. Excess heat often means the exhaust is blocked and air has nowhere to go.
- 03
It shuts off mid-cycle
A dryer that keeps stopping may be tripping a safety limit because it is overheating. Restarting it does not fix the cause.
- 04
Drying takes far longer than it used to
Two or three cycles for one load is a common sign of restricted airflow, which also makes the machine run hotter.
Common dryer problems
What we fix most often
Most clothes dryer repair comes down to a short list of symptoms. Here is what each one usually means, so you know what to tell us when you call.
-
Not heating
Tumbles fine but blows cool air. Often a heating element, igniter, thermal fuse or thermostat.
-
Takes too long to dry
Usually airflow: a packed lint path, crushed transition hose or blocked exterior vent hood.
-
Won't start
Lights but no motion, or nothing at all. Door switch, start switch, thermal fuse, belt switch or power supply.
-
Won't tumble
Motor hums but the drum stays still. A broken drive belt or seized idler pulley is the usual suspect.
-
Loud squealing or thumping
Worn drum rollers, glides, idler pulley or a flat-spotted belt. Noise tends to get worse, not better.
-
Shuts off mid-cycle
Overheating, a weak motor or a failing control. We find out which before replacing anything.

Dryer questions we hear every week
On an electric dryer, the most common causes are a burned-out heating element, a blown thermal fuse or a failed cycling thermostat. On a gas dryer, look first at the igniter, flame sensor and gas valve coils. A restricted vent can also trip safety parts, so a fuse that blows again after replacement points to an airflow problem that needs fixing too.
Many household dryers run for roughly 10 to 13 years, depending on how often they are used, how well the lint path and vent are kept clear, and the build quality of the model. Regular vent cleaning is one of the simplest ways to extend that life.
Usually yes when the repair is a common part such as a belt, roller, igniter, thermal fuse or heating element and the cabinet and drum are in good shape. It may not be worth it if the dryer is near the end of its life and needs a costly control board or motor. We give you the diagnosis and price before any work so you can decide. [PLACEHOLDER: pricing details]
No. Stop the cycle, unplug the dryer (and for a gas dryer, turn off the gas supply valve if you can reach it safely), and let it cool. A burning smell can come from lint near the heat source or an overheating part. If you smell gas rather than burning, leave the home and call your gas company from outside.
Yes. We repair both gas and electric dryers, including no-heat problems on gas models caused by igniters, flame sensors, gas valve coils and thermal fuses. See our gas dryer repair page for more detail.
