When to Call for Dryer Repair

  • Clothes still damp after a full cycle
  • Squealing, thumping or grinding while it runs
  • Outside of the cabinet gets unusually hot
  • Burning or hot smell during a cycle

Why Dryers Break Down

Sensor-dry problemsMoisture-sensing cycles rely on two metal strips in the drum. A film of fabric softener on them can make cycles stop too early.
Heat-source failuresElectric elements burn out and gas igniters and valve coils weaken with age. Either one leaves the drum turning with no heat.
Worn drum partsBelts, rollers and idler pulleys are wear items. They announce themselves with squeaks, thumps and eventually a drum that will not turn.

Inside a Dryer Repair Visit

Igniter, valve coils and flame sensorGas dryers light the burner with a glowing igniter, open the gas valve with a set of coils and confirm the flame with a sensor. When the igniter glows but the burner never lights, the valve coils are a frequent culprit.
Heating elementElectric dryers heat with a coiled element. If the drum turns but the air stays cool, the element is checked for continuity along with the thermostats and fuses that feed it.
Thermal fuse and thermostatsA thermal fuse is a one-time safety device that opens when the dryer overheats. A blown fuse usually points to a blocked vent, so a good technician replaces the fuse and finds out why it blew.

Local Notes for Exton

Most dryer calls in Exton come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.

Pennsylvania has no statewide license for appliance repair or for most construction trades; contractors doing home improvement work must register with the Attorney General, and some municipalities license trades such as plumbing.

In Pennsylvania, you can check a license with the PA Office of Attorney General Home Improvement Contractor Registration Search or report a problem to the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.

Before You Book in Exton

  • Will you check the vent and lint path as part of the visit?
  • What guarantee do you give on parts and labor?
  • Is your company licensed where my state requires it, and insured?

Dryer Repair FAQs: Exton, PA

Do you repair gas and electric dryers?
Many of the companies listed repair both. Gas dryers add an igniter, gas valve and flame sensor, so mention the fuel type when you call. Work on the gas line itself may need a licensed gas or plumbing contractor depending on your state.
Is there anything I can try first?
Confirm the breaker or gas is on, clean the lint screen, and make sure the vent hood outside opens when the dryer runs. If the vent is blocked or crushed, clear it before running the dryer again.
Why is my dryer squealing?
Squeaks and squeals usually come from worn drum rollers, the idler pulley or the drum glides. They are not dangerous right away, but worn parts can damage the belt or drum if they are left too long.
Why is my dryer running but not heating?
On an electric dryer the usual suspects are the heating element, a blown thermal fuse, a failed thermostat or a tripped breaker on one leg of the circuit. On a gas dryer, check that the gas is on, then the igniter and valve coils. A blocked vent can trip the safety fuse on both types, so it should be cleared first.
