Top 5 problems with the Dryer

Signs. Likely Causes. Solution.

Signs: No lights, no drum movement, no response when pressing the start button.
Likely Causes: Blown thermal fuse, faulty door switch, broken start switch, tripped breaker, or failed control board.
Solution: Check the power supply and door latch. If the fuse or switch is faulty, replace it. Inspect the control board if all else checks out.

Signs: Drum turns but clothes remain wet or take forever to dry.
Likely Causes: Failed heating element (electric dryers), bad gas valve coils (gas dryers), faulty high-limit thermostat, or blown thermal fuse.
Solution: Test and replace the heating element or gas components. Ensure thermostats and fuses are functioning.

Signs: Motor runs, but drum doesn’t rotate.
Likely Causes: Broken drive belt, seized drum rollers, faulty idler pulley, or burned-out motor.
Solution: Inspect and replace the belt if broken. Lubricate or replace worn rollers. If the motor hums but won’t turn, it may need replacement.

Signs: Clothes are still damp after a full cycle.
Likely Causes: Clogged lint trap, blocked vent duct, weak heating element, or faulty moisture sensor.
Solution: Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct. Test heating element and moisture sensor. Improve airflow to reduce cycle time.

Signs: Thumping, squealing, rattling, or grinding sounds.
Likely Causes: Worn drum rollers, damaged blower wheel, loose baffles, or foreign objects caught in drum.
Solution: Open the cabinet to inspect moving parts. Replace worn components and remove debris from the drum or blower.
