Frequently asked questions.
Frequently asked questions.
If your dryer is running but not producing heat, the issue could be caused by a faulty heating element, a malfunctioning thermostat, a broken thermal fuse, or a clogged vent. Gas dryers may also have problems with the igniter or gas valve coils. Check if the dryer vent is clear, as restricted airflow can prevent proper heating. If troubleshooting doesn’t resolve the issue, a dryer repair service can diagnose and fix the problem efficiently.
Several issues can indicate that your dryer needs repair, including:
- Dryer not heating or taking too long to dry clothes
- Dryer drum not spinning
- Dryer making loud noises, such as squeaking or banging
- Dryer shutting off mid-cycle
- Dryer emitting a burning smell
- Dryer not turning on at all
If you experience any of these problems, scheduling a professional dryer repair service can help restore your appliance’s efficiency.
The cost of dryer repair depends on the issue and the type of dryer. Common repairs, such as replacing a thermal fuse or belt, typically cost between $100-$250. More complex repairs, such as fixing the motor or heating element, can range from $300-$500. At Appliance Repair Brothers, we provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees for our dryer repair services.
A noisy dryer can indicate several issues, including:
- Squeaking or squealing – Worn-out drum bearings or idler pulley
- Banging or thumping – Unbalanced drum or faulty rollers
- Rattling – Loose screws or objects caught in the drum
If your dryer is making strange noises, it’s best to get it checked before the problem worsens. Our expert dryer repair technicians can quickly identify and fix the issue.
A dryer that takes too long to dry clothes is often caused by:
- Clogged dryer vents restricting airflow
- Faulty heating element preventing efficient drying
- Malfunctioning thermostat or moisture sensor
- Overloading the dryer with too many clothes
Cleaning the dryer vent and ensuring proper air circulation can improve performance. If the issue persists, professional dryer repair service is recommended.
If your dryer won’t turn on, check the following:
- Power source – Ensure the dryer is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped.
- Door switch – If the door switch is faulty, the dryer won’t start.
- Thermal fuse – A blown fuse will prevent the dryer from running.
- Start switch or timer – These components may need replacement if they’re not functioning.
If troubleshooting doesn’t help, our dryer repair specialists can diagnose and repair the problem.
To maintain dryer efficiency and safety, the dryer vent should be cleaned at least once a year. A clogged vent can cause:
- Longer drying times
- Overheating and potential fire hazards
- Increased energy consumption
Regular vent cleaning improves airflow, reduces drying time, and extends the life of your dryer. If you notice excessive lint buildup or poor performance, consider professional dryer vent cleaning along with dryer repair service.
A burning smell from the dryer is a serious issue and could be caused by:
- Lint buildup near the heating element
- Overheating motor or failing electrical components
- Worn-out drum belt producing excessive friction
Turn off your dryer immediately and unplug it. If the smell persists, contact a dryer repair technician to inspect and fix the problem before it becomes a fire hazard.
The decision to repair or replace a broken dryer depends on its age and repair cost:
- If your dryer is under 8 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of a new dryer, repairing is usually the best option.
- If your dryer is over 12 years old, frequently breaks down, or requires an expensive repair, replacing it with a new energy-efficient model may be more cost-effective.
Our dryer repair experts can assess your appliance and help you make an informed decision.
