Which Kind of Dryer Do You Have?

How an electric dryer heatsAn electric dryer runs current through a coiled heating element, protected by a thermal fuse and cycling and high-limit thermostats. It needs both legs of a 240-volt circuit to heat.
How a gas dryer heatsA gas dryer lights a burner with a hot-surface igniter, opens the gas valve through a set of coils and uses a flame sensor to confirm ignition. When the sequence fails, the drum keeps turning but the air stays cool.

Angi says gas dryer repairs typically run about $50 to $100 more than comparable electric dryer repairs. Source: Angi - How Much Does It Cost to Repair a Dryer?

What a Technician Checks on a Gas Dryer

Drum belt, rollers and idler pulleySqueals, thumps and a drum that will not turn trace back to the belt, the drum support rollers, the idler pulley or the drum glides. These are wear parts and are often replaced together.
Gas supply and shutoffA gas dryer needs an open shutoff valve and a sound flexible connector. Technicians check the supply before the burner assembly, and leave connector replacement or line work to whoever your state allows to do gas work.

No Heat on an Electric Dryer

Drive motorIf the dryer hums but the drum does not move, or it starts only after a push, the motor or its start circuit is tested. On many models the motor also turns the blower wheel, so airflow and tumbling fail together.
Door switch and start circuitA dryer that does nothing when Start is pressed may have a failed door switch, start switch, fuse or control board. Checking power at the outlet comes first, since an electric dryer needs both legs of a 240-volt circuit to heat.

Gas & Electric Dryer Repair FAQs: Aquia Harbour, VA

Can a gas dryer be repaired by any technician?
Many appliance repair companies service gas dryers, including igniters, valve coils and burners. Work on the gas supply line itself may require a licensed gas or plumbing contractor depending on your state.
How do I know if my dryer is gas or electric?
A gas dryer has a gas pipe and shutoff valve behind it and plugs into a regular household outlet. An electric dryer plugs into a large 240-volt outlet and has no gas line. The rating label inside the door also says which it is.
