Common Dryer Issues
After your washer has finished its work, it’s time for the dryer to finish the job. However, many typical dryer repair issues can reduce your machine’s efficiency and effectiveness. Dryers, like any other household appliances, may need specialist maintenance or fixes.
Here is some information on the most common frequent dryer issues to assist you in troubleshooting your device. While some can be resolved by yourself, it is still highly recommended to contact a professional maintenance specialist to ensure the work is done correctly.
It won’t turn on
Most individuals put their clothing inside the dryer and then switch it on regularly. However, there are instances that you try to use your dryer, but it, unfortunately, will not turn? When this happens, what are your options? Well, the best one is to get in touch with the experts.
When these experts come, they will examine various factors as they try to ascertain the source of the issue. In this circumstance, the breaker that operates the dryer would be the first item an electronics repair specialist will examine. If the breaker has been triggered due to an electrical surge, this will immediately shut down.
The dryer is too noisy
There are a lot of pieces in the dryer. For this machine to function effectively, each one of these components must work together. If the dryer starts to make squeaking, buzzing, or pounding noises, you should have it checked out by a specialist. Broken glides might be the cause of the thumping noise coming from the dryer. Glides are little plastic bits positioned near the very front in most dryers. These glides may deteriorate and break over time, resulting in severe noise issues.
When determining the source of the problem, an appliance repair technician will examine the state of the machine’s blower wheel as well as the drum roller. An appliance specialist can quickly remove and then replace these components should they be broken.
Clothes are wrinkled coming out of the dryer
When presented with crumpled clothing, the majority of people immediately toss it inside the dryer. Wrinkles are usually removed using the heat of the dryer as well as its tumbling motion. When wrinkles remain after the clothing has dried for a period, there may be a serious issue that must be addressed.
You may be causing this issue by placing many items all at the same time. You might want to adjust the settings on your dryer as well. If the problem continues after trying these steps, the dryer has to be fixed. In this circumstance, changing the heating component can be the most suitable option. It’s possible that the current element isn’t creating sufficient heat, resulting in damp and ruffled garments.
The dryer is not tumbling properly
The dryer is built to heat as well as tumble garments quickly. To reduce disruption in your domestic responsibilities, you must respond quickly whenever the dryer ceases tumbling. A faulty belt could halt the tumbling of a dryer. It’ll be not easy to get clothing dry and wrinkle-free when the belt does not revolve around the drum. Given the difficulty of replacing this specific component, you should contact a qualified technician to do the work.
A stuck motor and other compromised parts can cause issues in certain circumstances. The cost to replace these essential parts will be well worth the investment. The dryer should run flawlessly once an experienced technician completes this service.
The dryer is not generating heat
It’s because of an absence of heat if you observe the dryer tumbling the items and somehow still emerge wet. Examine the settings before calling in the specialists to identify the issue. These problems can develop if the temperature is not turned up high enough
When a specialist is called to repair a dryer that’s not generating heat, the thermal fuse could be the first thing they check. The purpose of this part is to prevent the dryer from overheating. It frequently prevents the machine from producing any heat at all when it malfunctions. This problem can potentially be caused by the heat switch found on the control panel. The key to limiting the damage that these issues inflict is to seek professional guidance the moment signs of difficulty appear.
Get the Professional Help Your Dryer Needs
Routine dryer maintenance, as well as minimizing the common ways people overuse their dryers, can help the machine perform harder and last further. During every load, remove the screen and thoroughly clean it every few months by rinsing it using soap and water. Finally, always get a professional like Pegasus Appliance Repair to check your dryer if you feel that something is wrong with it. Get in touch with their friendly representatives by giving them a call at (289) 812-8120.
Dryer Maintenance Tips
Even though we repair appliances, we hope you never have to call us! Here are some helpful dryer maintenance tips from our repair experts that will help extend the life of your dryer for years to come:
-
Clean your dryer lint screen or filter before you run it
Your dryer produces lint because of the friction and heat applied to your clothes. When fabric tumbles around in the dryer, small fibers and particles come loose. Your dryer’s lint screen prevents these fibers from entering your dryer hose, causing gradual buildup on the lint filter.
Keeping your dryer lint screen has many benefits for your dryer. It will help your dryer run more efficiently, last longer, reduce the risk of fire, dry your clothes faster, and save you money!
-
Clean lint buildup from the dryer vent
In addition to cleaning your lint screen, you should also clean the inside of your dryer vent.
You can clean your dryer vent from inside your dryer by removing the dryer lint screen and then using a long brush to clean the cavity that holds the screen. A vacuum can also help clean up any loose bits.
If your dryer needs extra cleaning, dryer repair specialists own special brush kits to clean your dryer vents and duct-work
-
Don’t overload your dryer
Medium-sized loads are the most efficient use of your dryer. Larger loads take longer to dry and actually use more energy than smaller, separate loads. Not only does it put more wear and tear on your dryer over time, but overloading your dryer will also increase your power bill.
-
Clean the exhaust vent every two years
Exhaust vents behind your dryer can build up with lint and debris, which, if uncleaned, can lead to a house fire. Clean your dryer’s exhaust vent and ductwork every few years to clear any debris that has built up.
-
Clear your outside dryer cover
Dryer covers allow hot air to pass out of your home without letting outside debris or small animals get into your dryer ducts.
Some types of dryer covers, especially bird-cage covers, eventually build up with lint and other debris. Excess buildup does not let air pass through and can catch fire. Make sure to clean your dryer cover at least once per year.
Louver-style covers are easier to clean, but should still be replaced once every few years.
-
Regularly vacuum your dryer
Lint can build up pretty much anywhere in or outside your dryer. Excess lint buildup can cause a house fire or reduce the effectiveness of your machine. To keep it tidy, vacuum the inside and outside of your dryer whenever you vacuum your house.
-
Track your average drying time
If you notice your dryer is suddenly taking longer than usual to dry your clothes, it could be because of lint buildup or a clog in the vent. If you’re unable to identify the issue, give us a call and we can help!
Dryer Repair FAQs
Here are some of the questions we hear most often from our dryer repair clients:
-
How do I make my dryer more energy efficient?
A clean dryer is an efficient dryer. Clean your dryer often both inside and outside to avoid any lint and dust building. Running your dryer with smaller, separate loads will also help your clothes dry faster, saving you energy.
-
Where should I position my dryer for maximum efficiency and safety?
Your dryer should be placed at least 6 inches from the wall to allow for space for connectors and proper venting. There should also be at least 1 inch of space between your washer and dryer for proper ventilation.
-
Why is my dryer taking longer than usual to dry clothes?
The time it takes to dry your clothes depends on several factors: the size of the load, how wet your clothes are, the type of fabric being used, and the condition of your dryer’s venting system. If your clothes are taking a long time to dry, check the venting for any clogs, clean every part of your dryer, and make sure you’re using the right dryer settings. If the problem persists, contact Pegasus Appliance Repair and we’ll have your dryer fixed in no time.
