Troubleshooting

Common dryer
issues we fix

Issues

Not heating up at all Takes too long to dry Making squeaking or thumping Won't start or turn on Overheating or shutting off Drum not tumbling

◆ Likely cause

Blown thermal fuse or failed heating element

A dryer that tumbles but produces no heat almost always has a blown thermal fuse — a one-time safety device that trips when the dryer overheats and must be replaced. On electric dryers a failed heating element is equally common. On gas dryers the igniter or gas valve solenoid are the typical culprits.

Common causes

Blown thermal fuse Failed heating element Gas igniter failure Gas valve solenoid Cycling thermostat

◆ Likely cause

Clogged vent or weak heating element

When clothes take two or more cycles to dry, restricted airflow from a clogged exhaust duct is almost always the cause. Even a partial blockage dramatically cuts efficiency. A partially failing heating element or a worn moisture sensor that ends the cycle too early can also extend dry times significantly.

Common causes

Clogged exhaust duct Weak heating element Worn moisture sensor Blocked lint trap Exterior vent flap stuck

◆ Likely cause

Worn drum rollers or idler pulley

Squeaking during tumbling almost always points to worn drum support rollers or a dry idler pulley that needs lubrication or replacement. A thumping sound that's louder when the drum is full usually means a worn drum bearing or damaged drum seal rubbing against the cabinet.

Common causes

Worn drum rollers Dry idler pulley Worn drum bearing Damaged drum seal Worn drive belt

◆ Likely cause

Door switch or thermal overload

A dryer that won't start is usually a door switch that isn't registering the door as closed, a tripped thermal overload, or a blown house fuse on the 240V circuit. If the drum light works but nothing else does, the start switch or timer motor is typically at fault.

Common causes

Faulty door switch Tripped thermal overload Blown circuit fuse Failed start switch Faulty timer motor

◆ Likely cause

Restricted airflow or faulty thermostat

Overheating is a serious fire risk and almost always caused by restricted airflow — a clogged lint trap or blocked exhaust duct forces heat to build up inside the drum. A faulty high-limit thermostat that fails to cut power when temperatures spike is equally dangerous and must be replaced promptly.

Common causes

Clogged lint trap Blocked exhaust duct Faulty high-limit thermostat Failed cycling thermostat

◆ Likely cause

Broken drive belt or failed motor

If the dryer runs and heats but the drum doesn't move, the drive belt has almost certainly snapped — it's a common wear item that wraps around the drum and motor pulley. If the belt is intact but the drum still won't turn, the drive motor or idler pulley assembly needs to be inspected.

Common causes

Broken drive belt Failed drive motor Seized idler pulley Drum support rollers
