Electric Dryer Repair Services

If there’s only one cord attached to your dryer — a heavy-duty electric plug that runs into a 220V outlet — you have an electric dryer. If there’s also a thin connector (typically stainless steel) hooked into your dryer in addition to a smaller, 110-volt electric wire, you have a gas dryer.

No, electric dryer repairs are difficult to fix and must be handled by an electric dryer service professional in most instances. DIY electric dryer repair is dangerous and could void your warranty.

Sometimes, your electric dryer only needs a single part to be repaired or replaced. Here are the most common parts we help homeowners with:

• Belts
• Fuses
• Heating coils
• Idler pulleys
• Motors
• Rollers
• Switches
• Temperature switches
• Thermostats
• Timers

The dryer stopping mid-cycle may be caused by the motor overheating, triggering the thermal overload switch. It could also be due to a broken drive belt, door latch, or moisture sensor. Mr. Appliance’s service professionals are fast and friendly, so you can trust them with your electric dryer repair.

The cause may be as simple as the lint trap or dryer vent needing cleaning. Additional issues that cause a dryer to dry slowly include a broken heating element or faulty thermostats or sensors. This issue should be handled by service professionals.

This could be a sign of a bad fuse, temperature switch, thermostat, or heating coil. These will require professional repair — count on Mr. Appliance to handle them. If the motor is running but the drum isn’t spinning, it’s most likely a broken belt — but a bad roller or idler pulley could also be the culprit. Don’t attempt to fix these issues on your own, as this can be dangerous.

There’s a chance a circuit breaker tripped or the machine came unplugged. But it could also be a broken start switch or a bad thermal fuse causing your dryer not to start.

If the dryer continues to run after the door is opened, it could be a door switch issue. But if the only way to stop the dryer is by opening the door, then the control board or timer is likely to blame. This can be a complicated fix that should be handled by service professionals.

Depending on the specific noise your dryer is making, such as grinding, squeaking, or thumping, it may be due to a drum bearing, drive belt, idler pulley, roller, or balance issue. Loud noises can indicate a potentially serious problem, so always call a service professional for help.
