When you've had a long day at work and left your pile of clean, wet clothes to dry, it's extremely disappointing to find them an hour later still damp. Don't lose hope, the problem may be minor or easily solvable. Perhaps a thermal fuse or heating element has blown (for electric dryers). The problem may be a fuse or igniter (for gas dryers). Reset the braker for a few minutes and run the dryer again, open the door and check for hot air. Still nothing? Pick up your phone and dial a dryer service near me for immediate service.

· What would cause a dryer to stop working?
Dryers are essential appliances in our homes and are used daily. When a breakdown occurs, there can be several reasons. Maintenance procedures, dryer vents are blocked or due to improper installation. Worn motors, drive belts, or simply a thermal fuse during their life cycle can also cause problems. Dealing with dryer malfunctions is something that Austin dryer repair technicians can handle.
Here are some expert tips from a qualified dryer service providerthat can help you find a solution to the problem:
· Dryer making strange noise – very common problem, when you hear a squeaky noise, most likely the rollers support is damaged or worn-out. The entire clothes dryer must be opened and replaced, usually the rollers kit assembly with motor pulley.
· Dryer runs but doesn't heat - each component must be traced through the circuit to determine the failure. We always start at the outlet to check that there is enough power 120V for gas dryers and 240V for electric dryers. Next step all thermal fuses and heating element or igniter. We do not recommend that you do it yourself with an electric dryer, trust our specialist dryer technicians.
· Dryer runs but doesn't dry clothes - Several reasons why your dryer may not be drying. When was the last time you cleaned your home's vent? You may certainly need a vent cleaning company, and also the dryer should be inspected from the inside if it is old.
· Dryer runs then shuts off - Maintenance is very important, such as cleaning the vents once every few years. All that extra heat from the build-up lint can trigger the thermal fuse to prevent a fire hazard. We see sometimes when the motor cools down your clothes dryer to start working again.Electrical control boards or moisture sensor time to time caused problems but you need professional opinion from dryer technicianfor that.
· Dryer overheating burning smell - A bad burnt smell from your dryer or overheating can be caused by a build-up of lint inside the unit or simply a clogged vent in the wall.
