⚠ Common Dryer Problems We Fix in Vaughan

A dryer that runs too hot, takes too long, or stops heating can be more than just annoying – it can be a safety risk if ignored. These are the most common dryer repair issues in Vaughan, with a quick guide to what may be happening:

• 🔥 Dryer not heating – drum turns but clothes stay cold and wet.
  Often caused by a failed heating element, blown thermal fuse, faulty thermostat or electrical supply issues. We test components properly instead of guessing.
• ⏳ Dryer taking too long to dry – multiple cycles needed.
  Usually an airflow problem: lint buildup in the vent, crushed or long duct, or blocked outside vent hood. We check both the machine and the vent path.
• 💨 Poor airflow – very hot machine but damp clothes.
  When air cannot escape, moisture stays inside the drum. This increases wear on the dryer and can be a fire risk over time.
• ⚡ Dryer won’t start – only clicks or lights, or completely dead.
  Causes include failed door switch, start switch, thermal fuse, motor, or control board. We verify power, safety circuits and controls.
• 🔊 Loud squeaking, banging or grinding noises
  Worn drum rollers, idler pulley, belt, or objects in the blower housing can all create noise. We inspect moving parts and replace worn components.
• 🔥 Burning or hot smell – serious warning sign.
  Lint on the heater, blocked vent, failing motor or overheating components can cause burning smells. This should be checked quickly for safety.
• 🚫 Dryer stops mid-cycle or trips the breaker.
  May be caused by overheating, motor problems, loose connections or weak breakers. We look at load, venting and internal components together.
• 🧺 Drum not turning even though you hear the motor humming.
  Typically a broken belt, jammed drum, seized rollers or motor problems. We open the cabinet, inspect and correct the mechanical cause.

During a service call we check the heating element, thermostats, fuses, motor, belt, rollers, pulleys, control board and airflow to find the real cause – not just change random parts.
