Dryer Repair - Quick Trouble Shooting Guide


​The trusty dryer is the laundry day hero of many. But even heroes have their off days and dryer issues are a hassle we've all faced at some point. Here we've listed the most common problems and how you can tackle them like a pro. 
​
  1. Furnace Mode Activated: Ever felt your dryer giving off more heat than your summer vacation? That's not a good sign. It might be due to clogged vents, causing the poor thing to overheat. And that burning smell? It's a cry for help. Start with a thorough clean-up of the lint trap and ensure those vents are breathing freely.
  2. Arctic Chill Setting: On the flip side, if your dryer has suddenly gone ice-cold, it's probably because the heating element has decided to take a vacation or the fuse has blown a fuse. Don't fret; replacing these parts might just bring back that warm embrace you've been missing.
  3. The Noisy Neighbor: Is your dryer being a bit too vocal? Banging, scraping, or squealing during operation could mean the belts, bearings, or seals are feeling under the weather. Don't ignore the noise; a little love and maybe some new parts can restore the peace in your laundry room.
  4. Silent Treatment Syndrome: Is your dryer giving you the cold shoulder and refusing to start? Before you panic, check if it's just a power supply issue or a grumpy door switch causing the drama. Sometimes, it's the simple things that bring the machine back to life.
  5. The Eternal Drying Story: Does it seem like your dryer has taken up storytelling as a hobby, with drying sessions that never seem to end? Clogged vents or a moody blower wheel might be slowing things down. Give those vents a good clean and ensure the airflow is smooth sailing for a quicker happy ending.
  6. The Shimmy and Shake Show: Is your dryer putting on an impromptu dance performance during its cycle? Unbalanced loads or worn-out drum support rollers might be the choreographers behind the scenes. Keep things steady by balancing your loads and giving those rollers a well-deserved retirement party.
  7. The Mystery of the Funky Odor: No one likes a funky-smelling dryer. If you catch a whiff of something not-so-pleasant, it could be a sign of trapped bacteria, mold, or hidden debris throwing a party inside. Regular cleaning, a touch of cleaning agents, and some fresh air can clear out those unwanted guests.
