Dryers can encounter numerous issues over time, particularly with frequent use. Some are quick fixes, while others indicate more serious internal issues. With Hi Tech Appliance Repairs, our certified dryer technicians are trained to pinpoint the exact cause of your dryer malfunction and offer reliable, affordable repairs that put you back on track.

Here’s a closer look at the most common dryer issues we resolve:

Dryer Not Heating

If your dryer runs but doesn’t produce heat, it might be due to a faulty heating element, a broken thermostat, or a blown thermal fuse. Without heat, your clothes won’t dry, no matter how long the cycle runs. We’ll test each component and repair or replace the part as needed to restore proper function.

Long Dry Times

Dryers that take two or more cycles to dry a single load often signal restricted airflow or an issue with the moisture sensor. A clogged vent or dirty lint filter can also reduce efficiency. We’ll clean, inspect, and diagnose the entire venting path to ensure your dryer is working at its best.

Loud or Unusual Noises

Grinding, thumping, or squealing sounds can be signs of worn drum bearings, broken belts, or misaligned parts. These problems worsen the longer they are left unchecked and can lead to more costly damage. Our technicians will investigate the source and fix the problem at its root.

Machine Stops Mid-Cycle

When a dryer shuts off before finishing a load, it could be caused by an overheating issue, a faulty door switch, or electrical problems. We’ll perform a comprehensive diagnostic to determine why your dryer isn’t completing cycles and get it running smoothly again.

Clothes Come Out Damp

A dryer that spins but leaves clothes wet may have a broken moisture sensor, restricted airflow, or even a heating failure. We’ll inspect both the hardware and internal controls to restore full drying performance, ensuring minimal energy waste.

Burning Smells or Overheating

This is a serious issue that can signal lint buildup, faulty thermostats, or electrical faults. Not only can it damage your dryer, but it also poses a fire risk. Our technicians will perform a thorough safety inspection, clean the interior, and repair any damaged parts to ensure your dryer is safe and operational.

Filter or Lint Trap Issues

A clogged or damaged lint trap can restrict airflow, allowing heat to build up inside your dryer. We’ll clean the lint housing, replace faulty traps, and ensure proper airflow to improve efficiency and reduce wear on the motor.

Control Panel Malfunctions

If your digital controls aren’t responding, flashing error codes, or not allowing cycle changes, there may be a problem with the electronic control board or display. Our team has the tools and training to replace malfunctioning panels and recalibrate the system properly.

No matter how simple or advanced the issue may seem, our dryer appliance repair experts are ready to diagnose and resolve the problem with care, professionalism, and genuine replacement parts. We’re here to help you save money, avoid unnecessary replacements, and extend the life of your home appliance.
