Common Electric Dryer Problems We Fix

The team at Appliance Insight knows how to repair an electric dryer quickly to get you back to your regular laundry routine. Here are some of the electric dryer issues Appliance Insight’s service professionals fix:
  • Electric dryer is loud: Noises like grinding, squeaking, or thumping from your dryer can point to drum bearing, drive belt, idler pulley, roller, or balance issues. Loud sounds often mean there’s a bigger problem, so it’s best to call a service professional for help.
  • Electric dryer won't start: A dryer that won't start can be frustrating. There are many possible causes, and our experts can diagnose the problem and then repair or replace the necessary parts to get your dryer running again.
  • Electric dryer won't shut off: If your dryer keeps running even when the door is open, the door switch might be faulty. On the other hand, if opening the door is the only way to stop the dryer, the control board or timer could be the issue. It might be a complex repair that is best left to service professionals like Appliance Insight.
  • Electric dryer shuts off too soon:If your dryer stops mid-cycle, it might be due to the motor overheating and triggering the thermal overload switch. It could also be caused by a broken drive belt, faulty door latch, or moisture sensor issue. Appliance Insight’s technicians are fast and friendly—you can count on them for reliable electric dryer repair.
  • Electric dryer takes too long to dry: The problem might be as simple as a clogged lint trap or a dryer vent that needs cleaning. Other causes of a slow-drying dryer could be a broken heating element, faulty thermostat, or sensor issues. It’s best to have a service professional handle these repairs to ensure your dryer works efficiently and safely.
  • Electric dryer won't heat: This might point to a problem with the fuse, temperature switch, thermostat, or heating coil. These issues need professional attention, and Appliance Insight is here to help get them fixed.
  • Electric dryer drum won't spin: If you hear the motor running but the drum isn't spinning, a broken belt is likely the cause, though a worn roller or idler pulley could also be the issue. Avoid trying to fix these yourself, as it can be risky.
  • Electric dryer door won't shut: Dryer doors rely on a metal spring clamp and a plastic clasp to close correctly. If either part is bent, damaged, or broken, let Appliance Insight repair it.
Just like any other appliance, dryers can develop issues over time. To keep yours running smoothly, reach out to Appliance Insight for regular maintenance and timely repairs when these common problems arise.

How to Fix an Electric Dryer

While you can handle simple tasks like checking the power and cleaning the dryer vent, it’s often safer and better for your dryer’s longevity to let service professionals handle repairs. Here’s a breakdown of the steps involved in electric dryer repair:
  1. Check the Power: Ensure the dryer is plugged in. If it’s not powering on, it may have come unplugged, or the circuit breaker might have tripped.
  2. Clean the Lint Trap and Vent: Clogged lint traps or vents can cause your dryer to overheat, dry poorly, or take too long. Regular cleaning keeps your dryer working efficiently.
  3. Call Service Professionals: If the problem isn’t the power or lint, it could be a technical issue best handled by experts.
  4. Diagnosis: Appliance Insight’s technicians will assess your electric dryer to determine the exact issue.
  5. Upfront Pricing: We’ll provide an upfront, flat-rate quote before starting, so you know what to expect with no hidden fees.
  6. Order Parts: If replacement parts are needed, Appliance Insight will source them quickly to keep your repair on track.
  7. Complete Repairs: Our team completes repairs carefully and tidies up afterward, ensuring your dryer is back to working perfectly.
This process helps keep your dryer in top shape while saving you time and hassle.
