Dryer Repair

Repair for dryers that will not start, heat, tumble, shut off early, make noise or take too long to dry, in gas and electric models.

The dryer is one of the hardest-working appliances in Nashville homes, and when it takes two cycles to dry a load, it is also one of the most expensive to run. Dryers fail in familiar ways: no heat, no tumbling, a loud thump or squeal, a door that pops open or a cycle that ends damp. They are also a common source of house fires when lint and vents are neglected, so repair and venting go hand in hand.

We test the belt, drum rollers and glides, idler pulley, motor, thermal fuse, thermostats, heating element or gas igniter, door switch, moisture sensor and control. We also check the vent for lint buildup, because a blocked vent causes many of these problems and is a fire hazard. After the repair we run the dryer through a full heated cycle and confirm that air flows freely at the exterior vent.

No tumble

A snapped belt, a worn idler pulley or a failed motor leaves the drum still.

No heat

A blown thermal fuse, a failed element or igniter or a bad thermostat is the usual reason.

Noise

Drum rollers, glides and bearings squeal, thump or rumble, and we replace the worn parts.

Long dry times

A blocked vent, a failing element or a sensor problem makes loads take far too long.

Questions

Dryer Repair FAQ

Why is my dryer taking so long?

A clogged vent, a failing element or igniter or a sensor problem is typical, and the vent is the first thing to check.

Why does my dryer make a loud noise?

Worn drum rollers, a glide or an idler pulley are the usual causes.

Why does my dryer run but not heat?

A thermal fuse, element, igniter or thermostat has probably failed.

Is a clogged dryer vent dangerous?

Yes. Lint is flammable, so keep the vent clear and have it cleaned regularly.

Do you repair gas and electric dryers?

Yes, and each has its own page with more detail.
