Types of Dryers We Service
Every dryer is different, just like every household is different. Our service professionals are trained and equipped to make repairs on various types of dryers, including:
Electric dryers, gas dryers, front-loading dryers, Vented dryers, Ventless dryers.
Gas Dryer vs. Electric Dryer: The main difference between gas and electric dryers is the way they create heat. While all dryers use a rotating drum to tumble wet clothes through a stream of warm air to evaporate moisture, gas dryers use natural gas or propane to create the heat that’s circulated, while electric dryers use electricity.
Electric dryers cost less upfront, but customers usually recoup the initial cost of a gas dryer after about five years. This is because gas dryers take less time to heat up and dry clothes, making them more efficient and economical over time. Gas dryers need a special gas hookup, but both require proper venting. However, gas dryers release more carbon emissions and pose a carbon monoxide risk.
Whether you need repairs to a gas or electric dryer or a washer-dryer combo, your local ProTech provides affordable dryer repair services.
ProTech service professional explaining common dryer problems to a customer,
Your Dryer Is Loud Not only are loud noises from your dryer annoying and disruptive, but they can be the first indicator of a more complex dryer issue. Squeaking, squealing, grinding, screeching, and thumping noises can point to common problems like a broken belt, loose idler pulley, or worn-out drum bearings. Your local ProTech service professionals are equipped to diagnose and repair these dryer issues quickly and effectively.
Your Dryer Won’t Start There are a variety of reasons why a dryer won’t start, ranging from simple fixes like an unplugged unit to complicated problems like a blown thermal fuse. ProTech service professionals can identify why your dryer won’t start and repair or replace parts to get your unit up and running again.
Your Dryer Won’t Shut Off A malfunctioning dryer unit can be dangerous, especially if it doesn’t shut off when the door is open. A faulty door switch is often the culprit when a dryer won’t shut off. Schedule an appointment with your local ProTech service professional to repair or replace the switch in your unit’s door.
Your Dryer Shuts Off Too Soon For electric dryers with a blown thermal fuse, it’s common for units to start and then unexpectedly stop, which is inconvenient, wastes time, and increases energy consumption. Contact your local ProTech if you notice this dryer issue occurring so our service professionals can diagnose the problem and repair your unit.
Your Dryer Takes Too Long To Dry The average gas or electric dryer should take between 30 and 45 minutes to dry a full load of clothes, but it could take up to an hour to dry denser fabrics. User error, clogged lint and vent traps, broken sensors, and blown thermal fuses can all cause increased dry times. Troubleshoot simple issues by referencing your unit’s user manual and cleaning lint and vent traps, but call your local ProTech if these initial maintenance attempts don’t solve the problem.
Your Dryer Won’t Heat Properly There are many reasons why your gas and electric dryers are not heating. Call your local ProTech to have a service professional determine the cause of the heating problem.
Your Dryer Won’t Tumble If you turn your dryer on, but the drum won’t spin or tumble, you may have a worn-out or broken drum bearing or drive belt. Contact your local ProTech and schedule an appointment to replace the bearing and belt.
Your Dryer Door Won’t Shut A dryer door that won’t shut can cause various dryer issues. If you notice your dryer door isn’t working properly, investigate the integrity of the door latch. Dryer doors usually close with the help of a metal spring clamp and a plastic clasp. If either of these parts is bent, damaged, or broken, schedule a repair with your local ProTech service professional.
