When the laundry room sits on the second floor, the dryer vent often travels a long way: through an attic, up to the roof, or across a joist bay to a side wall. Every extra foot and elbow slows airflow, and spring pine pollen can collect in the exterior hood. The result is a dryer that needs two cycles for towels or shuts off hot to the touch.
Before booking, unplug the dryer, clean the lint screen and its slot, and step outside while someone runs it to see whether the flap opens with strong airflow. If it barely moves, the duct needs cleaning. With a gas dryer, if you ever smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility or 911 from outside.
On the visit we test the heating element or the gas igniter and valve coils, the thermal fuse, thermostats, belt, rollers and moisture sensor. A blown thermal fuse is often a symptom of restricted venting, so we point out the cause as well as the part and price the repair before we begin.
Before You Book: Dryer Checks
Safe first steps for the most urgent dryer problems, and when to leave it to a technician.
- Dryer OverheatingSafety
- Stop using the dryer, unplug it, and clean the lint screen and the area under it; do not keep running loads until it has been checked.
- Dryer Venting ImproperlySafety
- Look behind the dryer and in the attic or crawl space near the laundry room for lint deposits or a loose duct; a gas dryer should never vent indoors, so stop using it until corrected.
- Tripping Circuit BreakerSafety
- Leave the breaker off and the dryer unplugged after a second trip; repeatedly resetting it can damage wiring, and this is a line-voltage problem not to troubleshoot yourself.
- Burning SmellSafety
- Stop the dryer immediately, unplug it or turn off the breaker, and do not restart it; if you see smoke or flame, leave and call 911.
