What Speed Queen Says to Check First
- Dryer won't start. Speed Queen says to check that the plug is seated, the door is closed and the timer knob is pushed in, then check fuses or breakers and wait 10 minutes if the motor overload has tripped. Source: Speed Queen (Alliance Laundry Systems) - User's Guide for Dryers
- Dryer not heating. Speed Queen says to check both fuses or breakers on electric models, make sure the dryer isn't in cool-down or set to no heat, confirm the gas valves are open on gas models, and look for a kinked or blocked exhaust or stuck hood flapper.

Before the Technician Arrives

What Taunton Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Taunton 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.
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.

Gas piping to appliances must be done by a licensed gas fitter or a licensed master or journeyman plumber, under a permit from the local inspector, with licensing by the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters. Source: Plumbers and gas fitters consumer fact sheet (Mass.gov)
