Common Dryer Problems We Fix

Dryers are complex machines with heating elements, motors, belts, controls, vents and more. When one part fails, the effects can range from “my clothes aren’t drying” to “there’s a burning smell.” Here are some of the most frequent issues we resolve:

1. Dryer Won’t Heat Up

If your dryer is tumbling but your clothes remain damp, the issue is often the heating element, thermostat, thermal fuse, or inlet power. We inspect and replace faulty parts, test the unit, and ensure it meets proper heating performance.

2. Dryer Drum Won’t Turn / Not Tumbling

When the drum fails to turn or tumbles slowly, it may be caused by a broken belt, roller bearing, motor failure, or idler pulley problem. We disassemble, inspect, and replace the defective components to restore smooth tumbling.

3. Dryer Making Excessive Noise or Vibrating

Thumping, squealing, rattling, or excessive vibration could signal worn bearings, misaligned drum, motor issues, or a clogged vent. We diagnose the root cause and perform necessary mechanical repairs.

4. Burning Smell or Overheating

A dryer producing a burning smell or overheats poses a safety risk. Common causes include lint buildup in vents, failing thermostats, or faulty heating elements. We thoroughly clean vents, test safety controls, and restore safe operation.

5. Dryer Takes Too Long to Dry / Clothes Still Damp

Even if the heater works, restricted airflow or a blocked vent can reduce drying efficiency. Our service includes vent inspection and cleaning to restore proper airflow and shorten drying time.

6. Dryer Won’t Start or Keeps Stopping Mid-Cycle

Failures to start, intermittent shutdowns, or error codes could stem from faulty door switches, control boards, start relays, or electrical connections. We pinpoint the cause and restore reliable operation.

7. Gas Dryer Specific Issues (Ignition, Gas Valve, Leaks)

Gas dryers introduce extra complexity and safety risk. If your dryer has ignition problems, flame instability, or suspected gas leaks, our certified technicians handle gas valve repair, ignition system replacement, leak detection and safe operation restoration.

Types of Dryers We Repair

It’s not just about fixing one model — our technicians are equipped, experienced, and fully capable of servicing the full spectrum of dryer types used in Toronto homes and businesses.

Electric Dryers

These are common in many homes. Electric dryers can suffer from failed heating coils, thermal fuses, thermostats, control board issues, or wiring faults. Attempting DIY repair can often cause added damage or void warranties — we recommend professional service.

Gas Dryers

Gas dryers are efficient but require special care due to the gas supply and ignition systems. We handle gas valve replacement, ignition repairs, flame sensor faults, and leak detection in strict adherence to safety standards.

Stackable / Compact & Front-Load Dryers

Many condos, apartments and smaller homes in the Beaches and GTA use compact or stacked laundry units. These units have smaller drums, integrated controls, and sometimes harder-to-reach components — our technicians are experienced with these models too.

Commercial / Multi-Unit Laundry Dryers

If you operate a rental building, a multi-unit laundry facility, or commercial site and your dryer stops working, the downtime can cost you. We provide prompt, efficient repairs for commercial dryers as well, servicing larger capacity machines and heavy-duty models.

Preventive Dryer Maintenance Tips

Even after repair, a little maintenance can extend the life of your dryer, reduce energy costs, and minimise future breakdowns. Here are some tips we share with our customers:

Clean the lint trap and screen before every load.
Inspect and clean the dryer vent and exhaust duct at least annually (or more often if you have pets or long vent runs).
Ensure proper airflow around the dryer — don’t block vents, leave room behind the unit.
Check for unusual noises or smells — early detection often means simpler repairs.
Avoid overloading the dryer — too heavy loads stress the motor and other components.
Inspect the door seal, drum rollers and belt for wear and tear.
Schedule a professional tune-up every 1-2 years — technicians can check gas pressure, ignition systems (for gas dryers), wiring and overall safe operation.
