Dryer Troubleshooting Tips

There are several reasons why a dryer may not heat. An electric dryer may fail to heat due to a faulty heater, thermostat, or fuse. A gas dryer may not heat because of a faulty igniter, fuse, or gas coils.

Possible causes:

  • Dirty Lint Filter - Blocks the airflow, and the dryer will take a long time to dry one load.
  • Blocked Air Ducting - Check the dryer vent for blockages or obstructions that can restrict airflow.
  • Check Settings - Ensure that the dryer settings are suitable for the load and are not set to air-dry or no-heat.
  • Seek Professional Help - If you cannot fix the issue yourself, please contact MD Appliance LLC for professional dryer repair services.

If your dryer is making a squeaking or clunking noise, it may be due to a defective idler pulley, broken drum roller, or a faulty blower wheel. There are several troubleshooting steps you can take before calling for professional service.

Possible causes:

  • Drum Bearings - Worn drum bearings can cause squeaking or grinding noises.
  • Drum Rollers - Faulty drum rollers can lead to thumping or rumbling sounds.
  • Drive Belt - A worn or damaged belt can create a slapping or squeaking noise.
  • Idler Pulley - A worn idler pulley can cause a squealing sound.
  • Dryer Motor - A failing motor might produce buzzing or humming noises.
  • Drum Seal - A worn drum seal can lead to scraping or squealing sounds.
  • Check for Foreign Objects - Coins, buttons, or other objects can get trapped and cause noise.
  • Please contact MD Appliance LLC if you need further assistance.

Common dryer issues include a faulty door switch or start switch, control problems such as a broken dryer timer or defective electronic control board, and a faulty fuse or thermostat.

Possible causes:

  • Power Supply - Ensure the dryer is plugged in, and check if the circuit breaker has tripped.
  • Door Switch - If the door switch is defective the dryer will not start. The dryer won’t operate if the machine thinks the door is open.
  • Thermo Fuse - A thermal fuse protects the dryer from overheating. If the fuse is bad, the dryer will not start.
  • Drive Belt - Some dryers won't start if the drive belt breaks or if it disconnects from the motor pulley.

If your dryer is running but not drying clothes, there could be an issue with airflow or heating components.

Possible causes:

  • Dirty Lint Filter - Clean the lint filter to improve airflow and drying efficiency. A dirty lint filter restricts airflow, causing the dryer to take longer to dry clothes.
  • Blocked Vent - A blocked vent restricts airflow, causing longer drying times and posing a fire hazard, so it needs regular cleaning.
  • Heating Element - A malfunctioning heating element can prevent the dryer from properly heating.
  • Thermostat - A faulty thermostat can prevent the dryer from reaching the desired temperature.
  • Igniter - If the igniter inside the gas dryer is broken or faulty, the dryer will not heat.

Expert Tips for Maintaining Your Dryer

To keep your dryer working efficiently, follow these simple preventative maintenance steps:

  • Clean the Lint Filter: Make sure to clean the lint filter after each load to prevent blockages that can restrict airflow and cause overheating.
  • Clean the Dryer Vent: Check the dryer vent and exhaust system for blockages or lint build-up. Clean the vent regularly to ensure proper airflow and prevent fire hazards.
  • Check the Drum Seals: Inspect the drum seals for any signs of wear or damage. If they are damaged, they can lead to inefficiency by allowing hot air to escape.
  • Examine the Drum Belt: Check the dryer belt for signs of wear or fraying. A damaged belt can cause the dryer to stop tumbling properly.
  • Wipe Down the Exterior and Interior: Regularly clean the dryer's exterior and drum to remove dust and residue.
  • Level the Dryer: Ensure your dryer is level to prevent unnecessary strain on the drum and other components.
