DRYER REPAIR NOISY?

Excessive noise may be caused by problems with the bearings or seals, including excessive wear or defects in workmanship.

These types of problems may also be due to belts that are excessively worn or frayed.

Longer Drying Time

Dry times that are longer than usual (typical cycle time is around 45 minutes) may denote problems with the heating element or coils.

The thermostat may be defective and in need of replacement. There may also be lint clogs that inhibit the performance of the dryer.

Failure to start

these problems may stem from a faulty switch, cycling thermostat or faulty wiring connections. The thermostat may also be at the root of these problems if it has a high limit. There may be problems with fuses or circuit breakers, as well.

Too Hot

When the dryer exterior is too hot or clothes are hotter than normal, the vent could be clogged or malfunctioning. This is a fire hazard and should be addressed immediately.

Vent Flap Immobile

The vent hood flap should move when the dryer is operating. If it is not moving, the vent is seriously blocked. Clean out the vent, and if the issue continues, call an expert.

PUMPS BUT WONT SPIN

Burning Smell

Lint can build up in a variety of places, including the drum casing. This accumulated lint can easily catch fire. If you smell burning, shut off the dryer and call for help immediately.

Clothes Aren’t Dry

If the exhaust vent is blocked, clothes can’t dry because moist air can’t flow out of the dryer. Wet clothes can also be caused by defective heating elements and moisture sensors.
