Dryer Troubleshooting Tips

There are several reasons why a dryer may not heat. An electric dryer may fail to heat due to a faulty heater, thermostat, or fuse. A gas dryer may not heat because of a faulty igniter, fuse, or gas coils.

Possible causes:

  • Dirty Lint Filter - Blocks the airflow, and the dryer will take a long time to dry one load.
  • Blocked Air Ducting - Check the dryer vent for blockages or obstructions that can restrict airflow.
  • Check Settings - Ensure that the dryer settings are suitable for the load and are not set to air-dry or no-heat.

If your dryer is making a squeaking or clunking noise, it may be due to a defective idler pulley, broken drum roller, or a faulty blower wheel. There are several troubleshooting steps you can take before calling for professional service.

Possible causes:

  • Drum Bearings - Worn drum bearings can cause squeaking or grinding noises.
  • Drum Rollers - Faulty drum rollers can lead to thumping or rumbling sounds.
  • Drive Belt - A worn or damaged belt can create a slapping or squeaking noise.
  • Idler Pulley - A worn idler pulley can cause a squealing sound.
  • Dryer Motor - A failing motor might produce buzzing or humming noises.
  • Drum Seal - A worn drum seal can lead to scraping or squealing sounds.
  • Check for Foreign Objects - Coins, buttons, or other objects can get trapped and cause noise.

Common dryer issues include a faulty door switch or start switch, control problems such as a broken dryer timer or defective electronic control board, and a faulty fuse or thermostat.

Possible causes:

  • Check Power Supply - Ensure the dryer is plugged in, and check if the circuit breaker has tripped.
  • Faulty Door Switch - If the door switch is defective the dryer will not start. The dryer won't operate if the machine thinks the door is open.
  • Faulty Thermo Fuse - A thermal fuse protects the dryer from overheating. If the fuse is bad, the dryer will not start.
  • Broken Drive Belt - Some dryers won't start if the drive belt breaks or if it disconnects from the motor pulley.

If your dryer is running but not drying clothes, there could be an issue with airflow or heating components.

Possible causes:

  • Dirty Lint Filter - Clean the lint filter to improve airflow and drying efficiency. A dirty lint filter restricts airflow, causing the dryer to take longer to dry clothes.
  • Blocked Vent - A blocked vent restricts airflow, causing longer drying times and posing a fire hazard, so it needs regular cleaning.
  • Heating Element - A malfunctioning heating element can prevent the dryer from properly heating.
  • Thermostat - A faulty thermostat can prevent the dryer from reaching the desired temperature.
  • Igniter - If the igniter inside the gas dryer is broken or faulty, the dryer will not heat.

Dryer Maintenance Tips

Proper dryer maintenance helps avoid unexpected breakdowns and expensive repairs, and ensures efficient, long-lasting operation. Our expert technicians at MD Appliance LLC handle dryer maintenance, including cleaning, inspecting components, and identifying potential issues before they become major problems. Regular maintenance not only prevents problems but also makes your dryer more energy efficient. By cleaning filters, vents, and inside parts, your dryer works better, uses less energy, and can help lower your utility bills.

To keep your dryer working efficiently, follow these simple preventative maintenance steps:

Clean the lint filter and the outside vent

Keep the lint trap clean after each load to prevent blockages. A dirty lint filter will restrict airflow and cause overheating. Also, regularly check the dryer vent and exhaust system for blockages or lint build-up. Clean the vent annually to maintain proper airflow and prevent fire hazards.

Keep the dryer clean

Wipe the outside and inside of the dryer regularly to remove dust and residue. Use a damp cloth with mild detergent for the exterior. Clean the drum interior with a soft cloth to remove fabric softener buildup and prevent stains on clothing.

Other things to check

Check the drum seal for any wear or damage. If it is damaged, hot air will leak, reducing the dryer's efficiency. Make sure your dryer is level to avoid putting extra strain on the drum and other parts, and prevent loud noises while in use.

Annual dryer maintenance

At MD Appliance LLC, we understand the importance of a well-maintained dryer. Our services include thorough inspections, cleaning, and replacement of worn parts, keeping your dryer in top condition.
