Dryer Repair Services in Memphis, TN

Whether your dryer is making a loud banging noise or simply not turning on, our experts have seen it all. We can diagnose and resolve a wide range of issues, including:

• Dryer Won't Turn On or Start: This is often a sign of a power supply issue or a problem with the internal safety mechanisms. Common causes include a tripped circuit breaker, a faulty door switch that prevents the dryer from running when the door is open, or a blown thermal fuse designed to protect the unit from overheating.
• The Drum Isn't Tumbling: If you can hear the motor running but the drum isn't spinning, the issue is likely a broken or worn-out drive belt. This belt wraps around the drum and is essential for turning it. Other possibilities include a failing motor or worn-down drum rollers that support the drum's weight.
• Dryer Is Not Producing Heat: For an electric dryer, the most common culprit is a failed heating element, which is the component that generates heat. Other causes can include a blown thermal fuse or a malfunctioning thermostat that isn't properly regulating the temperature. For gas dryers, the problem is often related to the gas valve, igniter, or thermal fuse.
• Appliance Is Overheating: An overheating dryer is a serious safety concern, often caused by a lack of proper airflow. This is most frequently due to a clogged lint filter or a blocked dryer vent that traps hot, moist air inside the machine, forcing it to run at dangerously high temperatures.
• Clothes Are Taking Too Long to Dry: This is a classic symptom of poor airflow, which can be caused by a lint-clogged filter or a blocked vent pipe. When hot air can't escape, the drying process becomes inefficient. A faulty heating element or a defective moisture sensor can also be the cause.
• Loud Noises Like Squealing or Grinding: Unusual noises are often a result of mechanical wear and tear. A squealing sound can indicate a worn-out drive belt or idler pulley, while a rumbling or thumping noise might point to failing drum rollers or a worn-out drum bearing.
• A Strange, Burning Smell: This is a major warning sign. A burning smell can be caused by lint buildup on the heating element, a failing motor, or a worn-out drive belt that is rubbing and creating friction. Immediately unplug the unit and contact a professional, as this can be a fire hazard.
• Dryer Stops Mid-Cycle: This can happen for several reasons, but it often indicates an overheating issue where the thermal fuse has automatically shut off the unit as a safety precaution. Other causes can be a faulty door switch or a problem with the control board.
