Dryer Checks You Can Do
Try these safe steps first.

- Check the outside ventRun the dryer and feel the vent outside. You should feel strong, warm air.
- Check the breakerElectric dryers use a double breaker. Half can trip and stop the heat only.
- Check the gas valveFor gas dryers, make sure the valve behind the dryer is open.

Questions and answers
Dryer Repair Questions
Why is my dryer running but not heating?
A blown thermal fuse, bad heating element, or a weak gas igniter is most common. A clogged vent often causes the fuse to blow.
Why does my dryer take so long?
Usually a clogged vent. Lint slows airflow, so clothes take two or three cycles.
Why is my dryer squeaking?
Worn drum rollers, an idler pulley or a belt are the usual causes.
Do you repair gas dryers?
Yes. We repair gas dryers and always check for leaks.
Should I clean my dryer vent?
Yes, about once a year. It saves energy and lowers fire risk.
