Dryer Repair Services

It’s possible to repair a dryer by yourself. Depending on the problem, you may be able to purchase and replace specific parts. However, more complex problems affecting the control board, thermal fuse, or heating element should be addressed by a professional.

When deciding whether or not to repair a dryer, consider whether it’s under warranty, if it’s energy efficient, and if it had any special features you loved before it broke. If the answer to those three questions is no, then you may consider getting a new dryer.

A dryer may not start for any number of reasons, including simple fixes like an unplugged unit, an overloaded dryer, or a blown circuit. More complex issues like a faulty outlet, blown thermal fuse, broken door switch, or a failing start button, belt, or motor could also cause a dryer to malfunction.

You can tell your dryer is broken if your unit takes too long to dry clothes, won’t start, stop, spin, or heat up, makes loud noises, or produces a burning smell.

A gas dryer has two connections: an electric cord that plugs into a 120-volt AC outlet and the gas line hookup. The gas line hookup tends to be coated in yellow but can also just look like a braided stainless steel line.

A gas dryer can plug into a standard 120-volt outlet. An electric dryer, on the other hand, requires the extra power of a 220-volt outlet.

A thermal fuse is a pre-installed safety device on a unit that trips if the air flowing through the dryer overheats. The most common reason for the fuse to trip is a blocked exhaust vent. A blown thermal fuse will need to be replaced by a service professional.

Your dryer may smell like gas for any number of reasons, the most common being a faulty igniter. The exhaust system in your gas dryer may also be leaking. If you smell gas or something like kerosene when the dryer isn’t running, you may have a defective gas valve seal. If you’re experiencing this, stop using your dryer and call your gas company immediately. Once the gas company is through checking for leaks, call your local Mr. Appliance to handle the necessary repairs.
