Common Dryer Problems We Fix
Dryer not heating
This is usually caused by a faulty heating element, blown thermal fuse, or bad thermostat. We'll run a diagnostic and replace what's needed.
Dryer takes too long to dry
Clogged vents, weak heating, or sensor issues could be to blame. We'll get your dryer working efficiently again.
Clothes come out damp or cold
If your dryer runs but doesn't fully dry the clothes, it may be cycling too early or overheating and shutting down. We'll inspect the sensors and controls.
Dryer won't start
A broken start switch, bad door latch, or faulty control board may be the issue. We'll troubleshoot and repair it quickly.
Drum not spinning
Could be due to a worn belt, motor failure, or idler pulley issue. We'll inspect and replace the necessary parts.
Dryer makes loud noises or squeaks
Grinding, thumping, or squealing noises usually mean worn drum bearings, support rollers, or a damaged belt.
Error codes or flashing lights
We'll decode the error message and get to the root of the issue — whether it's heating, sensors, or control board.
Dryer shuts off mid-cycle
Often caused by overheating, faulty moisture sensors, or loose wiring. We'll restore proper function and safety.
Washer/Dryer Combo Units
We also service washer/dryer combo appliances — especially common in downtown Ottawa condos.
Dryer smells like something is burning
This could be due to lint buildup inside the drum or vent, or an overheating motor. We'll inspect it thoroughly to prevent fire risks.
Dryer keeps tripping the breaker
This often signals an electrical short, faulty wiring, or overheating components. Let our licensed technicians take a look.
Dryer won't stop running
A faulty timer, control board, or moisture sensor may prevent the cycle from ending. We'll pinpoint the issue and fix it.
Dryer door won't stay closed
A worn or broken door latch or strike plate can prevent the dryer from operating. We'll replace the faulty components.
Dryer makes a clicking noise but doesn't start
This could mean the motor is trying to engage but is jammed or failing. We'll safely open it up and find the source.
