Things to Check Before Booking Dryer Service

Try these basic checks before scheduling a technician:

  1. Clean the lint screen before every load.
  2. Check the outside vent flap for lint blockage.
  3. Make sure the dryer is not overloaded.
  4. Confirm the dryer is set to a heated cycle, not air fluff.
  5. Check the breaker, especially for electric dryers.
  6. For gas dryers, confirm the gas supply valve is open.
  7. Inspect the flexible vent hose for crushing or kinks.
  8. Remove excess lint from accessible vent areas.
  9. Reset the dryer by turning power off briefly.
  10. Stop using the dryer if you smell burning.



Dryers with airflow problems can overheat, waste energy, and create safety concerns. If cleaning the lint screen and vent path does not help, schedule service.

When a Washer Needs Professional Repair

A technician may be needed when the washer has a failed drain pump, worn belt, faulty lid switch, bad door lock, damaged suspension, defective water valve, control board failure, or motor issue. Catching these problems early can help prevent water damage and more expensive repairs.
