Common Dryer Problems

Dryer Won't Start

The dryer does not turn on or respond when you press the start button, which can be due to issues with the power supply, door switch, or control settings.

Dryer Not Heating

The dryer operates normally but fails to produce any heat, leaving clothes damp after a cycle. This issue can be caused by problems with the heating element, thermostat, or thermal fuse.

Dryer Drum Not Turning

Excessive Noise

Clothes Taking Too Long to Dry

Clothes remain damp or take significantly longer to dry than usual, even after a full cycle. Potential causes include a clogged lint filter, obstructed venting system, or overloading the dryer.

Dryer Stopping Mid-Cycle

The dryer unexpectedly stops working before completing its drying cycle. This issue may be due to overheating, a faulty thermal fuse, or electrical problems.This expanded description should help provide a clearer understanding of each common dryer issue.
