What can go wrong
A symptom is a starting point. We check power, airflow, heat, drum movement, sensors and controls before recommending a repair.
Not heating
Settings, electrical supply, restricted airflow, a heating element or gas-heating component, thermostat, sensor or control may be involved.
Clothes take too long to dry
A full lint screen, blocked exhaust duct, overloaded drum, weak heat or moisture-sensor issue may slow drying.
Not tumbling
The door switch, drive belt, idler pulley, motor or control may prevent drum rotation.
Will not start
Power, Control Lock, the door switch, thermal fuse, user interface or control may be involved.
Stops before clothes are dry
Cycle choice, sensor bars, overheating, power interruption or electronic faults can end a cycle early.
Overheating or burning smell
Restricted exhaust, lint buildup, thermostat, heating or wiring trouble can create a hazard. Stop use immediately.
Unusual noise
Items in the drum, rollers, an idler pulley, blower wheel, belt or motor may cause scraping or squealing.
Door will not latch
Clothing caught in the opening, a worn catch, hinge, switch or gasket may be involved.
Vent warning or error code
A restricted exhaust path, sensor or control issue may trigger a warning; record the code before resetting.
