What we fix
Fix Your Dryer Fast
What's your dryer doing? Pick the problem to see the usual causes, a few safe things to check first, and when it's time to call a tech.
Dryer Not Heating
A dryer that tumbles but stays cold usually has a heating part, a gas valve or an airflow problem.
Usual Causes
- Burned-out heating element on electric dryers
- Failed igniter or gas valve coils on gas dryers
- Blown thermal fuse or bad thermostat
- Clogged lint duct making it overheat and shut off
Check This First
- Clean the lint screen
- Make sure the vent hose is not crushed or blocked
- Check that both breakers are on for an electric dryer
Still cold after cleaning the lint screen and vent? Call us.
Call (619) 642-2444Dryer Not Tumbling
If the motor hums but the drum doesn't turn, the belt or something that holds the drum is usually the cause.
Usual Causes
- Broken or slipped drive belt
- Worn drum rollers or idler pulley
- Failed drive motor
- Bad door switch
Check This First
- Open the door and turn the drum by hand. Does it spin freely?
- Check the load is not too heavy
- Listen for the motor when you press start
Drum spins freely by hand? The belt is likely broken.
Call (619) 642-2444Dryer Making Strange Noises
Squeaking, thumping and grinding sound alike but point to different worn parts.
Usual Causes
- Worn drum rollers or idler pulley
- Damaged drum glides or bearings
- Something caught in the drum or blower
- Loose blower wheel
Check This First
- Empty the pockets of the last load
- Run it empty and listen for where the noise comes from
- Check the dryer sits level
Grinding or a loud thump? Stop using it and call us.
Call (619) 642-2444Dryer Won't Start
A dryer with no power or one that clicks and does nothing usually has an electrical or safety part fault.
Usual Causes
- Tripped breaker or blown house fuse
- Faulty door switch
- Blown thermal fuse
- Failed start switch or control board
Check This First
- Check the breaker and the plug
- Make sure the door closes and latches
- Look for a child lock or delay setting
Power is on and it still does nothing? Call us.
Call (619) 642-2444Dryer Takes Too Long to Dry
Long drying times are often an airflow problem, and a blocked vent is also a fire risk.
Usual Causes
- Lint buildup in the vent duct
- Partly failed heating element
- Bad cycling thermostat
- Moisture sensor not reading
Check This First
- Clean the lint screen before every load
- Feel for strong air at the outside vent
- Don't overload the drum
Weak airflow outside even with a clean screen? The vent needs cleaning.
Call (619) 642-2444Dryer Showing an Error Code
An error code points to a sensor, a heater or a control problem. The code tells a tech where to start.
Usual Causes
- Thermistor or temperature sensor fault
- Heater or gas valve circuit problem
- Blocked vent detected by the dryer
- Control board fault
Check This First
- Write down the exact code
- Unplug the dryer for a minute, then plug it back in
- Clean the lint screen and check the vent
Same code comes back? Call us with the code.
