Repairing Common Dryer Problems

Blog

Your dryer may be a critical appliance that you use on a regular basis. When a dryer starts to suffer problems, it can require professional repairs to correct.

Excessive Heating

While your dryer will need to create enough heat to rapidly dry your clothing, it will be necessary to regulate this heat production. Otherwise, excessive heating could damage your clothing or even damage the dryer itself. This problem can often be the result of a malfunction with the temperature regulator. As a result of this malfunction, your dryer's heating elements may be far more likely to suffer a failure or to burn out. 

Motor Failure

Your dryer will need to tumble the clothing that is in it so that it can dry evenly. Due to the weight of wet clothing, this motor will need to be extremely powerful to be able to spin the dryer's container. If it starts to suffer problems, it may struggle to effectively turn the dryer to tumble the clothing, which can lead to the appliance being less effective. Unfortunately, a problem with the dryer's motor will likely mean that this component will have to be replaced. While this can be among the more major repairs that you can have done to this appliance, it will fully restore its performance while also being significantly less costly than buying an entirely new unit.

Decreased Ventilation

Poor ventilation can dramatically reduce the drying capacity of your unit. Without good ventilation, the air inside the dryer will become extremely humid, and this can reduce the ability of the water in the clothing to evaporate. Poor ventilation can be the result of substantial amounts of lint accumulating on the dryer's vents. Periodically cleaning these vents can help to avoid this problem. However, it may be necessary to have the dryer professionally serviced periodically as these technicians will have the tools needed to remove lint that may have gotten trapped deeper in the vents of the system where you may not be able to easily reach.

When your home's dryer suffers significant performance problems or malfunctions, there are repair services that you can hire to get it working again. Recognizing the need to hire these professionals to address instances of excessive heating and motor failure can be necessary to keep your system running. In addition to these major repairs, these services can also perform routine work on your unit to keep its vent clear.
