Dryers in University City's student rentals work as hard as the washers beside them, and lint builds up fast when several people share one machine and few of them clean the screen. A clogged screen or vent stretches drying time, overheats the cabinet and eventually blows the thermal fuse, a common reason a dryer suddenly stops heating.
Apartment complexes around campus and the light rail stations usually supply stacked or compact electric dryers, while houses in Highland Creek and similar neighborhoods have full-size gas or electric units with vents running through an exterior wall. Each setup needs its vent path checked as part of the diagnosis, since replacing a fuse without fixing the airflow only buys time.
Clean the screen before every load and check that the exterior flap opens while the dryer runs. Tenants should report problems to the landlord. We test the fuse, element or igniter, belt and rollers, and explain the cost first. If a gas dryer smells of gas, leave and call the gas utility or 911.
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.
