Dryer repair · Tulsa, OK
The drum turns, the clothes come out wet and cold. It’s almost always one of four parts — and one check you can do yourself first.
Before you call
Smell gas? Don’t touch any switches. Leave the house and call your gas company from outside. Unplug the dryer before you pull it away from the wall.
What usually causes it
A one-time safety fuse on the blower housing. It blows when the dryer overheats — and that usually means the vent is clogged. Replace the fuse and leave the vent blocked, and the new one blows too.
Colby tests it, replaces it, and checks the airflow so it doesn’t happen again.
The coil inside the heater box breaks after years of use. The drum spins and the timer runs, but nothing warms up.
He tests the element and the wiring, and replaces it if it’s open.
If the igniter doesn’t glow, or it glows and the flame never lights, one of these is the reason. Often it heats for a few minutes, then quits.
He watches the ignition, tests the igniter and the coils, and replaces what failed.
These keep the heat in range. When one fails, the dryer may not heat at all, or heat only on some settings.
He tests each one against what it should read.
