Common dryer problems
These are the dryer calls we get most often. Open a problem to see the likely causes and a quick safe check you can do before we arrive.
Book a Dryer Repair or call (111) 111-1111Safety first: if you see smoke or flames, or smell gas near a gas dryer, turn the dryer off, leave the home and call 911 from outside.
A light dusty smell on the first run after a long break can be normal. A strong hot or burning smell during every load is not, and the dryer should stay off until it is checked.
Lint that escapes the screen collects near the heating element or burner and scorches.
A motor with worn bearings runs hot and gives off a burning smell before it quits.
A slipping belt or worn drum glides create friction and a hot rubber or plastic smell.
Quick check: unplug the dryer, clean the lint screen and the opening it slides into, and do not run it again until a technician has looked at it.
If the cycle ends and the clothes are still damp, the dryer either thinks the load is dry or is shutting down to protect itself from heat.
Fabric softener coats the metal bars inside the drum, so the dryer reads the load as dry too soon.
It cuts the heat early and the timer or control ends the cycle.
Poor airflow trips the safety limits and the dryer stops mid-load.
Quick check: wipe the two metal sensor bars inside the drum with a little rubbing alcohol and make sure the vent hose behind the dryer is not crushed.
Clothes that come out too hot to touch, or a dryer top that feels hot, mean the heat is not being controlled or not escaping.
Lint in the duct or a crushed hose traps hot air inside the dryer.
It no longer switches the heat off when the drum reaches temperature.
On electric dryers, a shorted element can stay on even when it should cycle off.
Quick check: stop using the dryer, clean the lint screen, and check that air blows out strongly at the outside vent cap when the dryer runs.
A dryer that keeps running past the end of the cycle, or only stops when you open the door, has a timing or sensing problem.
On dial models the timer motor stops advancing, so the cycle never reaches off.
A relay welded closed keeps power going to the motor.
The dryer never senses that the load is dry and keeps going.
Quick check: try a timed dry cycle instead of a sensor cycle, and unplug the dryer for one minute to reset the control.
Dryer brands we repair

Why call us for your dryer
An overheating dryer is not something to live with for a week. Our Mansfield team plans the visit around your day.
We repair the dryer itself, electric or gas. Connecting or moving a gas line is work for a licensed plumber, and we will tell you if that is what you need.
Many dryer faults start with poor airflow, so the technician looks at the lint path and the vent connection, not only the failed part. The service call and diagnosis are free when you go ahead with the repair.
Our certified and insured technicians back every dryer repair with a 3-month warranty on the work. We take calls Mon-Sun, 7am to 11pm.
