Clothes Dryer Problems |
Problems with a clothes dryer normally involve the heat source or the motor that tumbles the clothes. Clothes don’t dry because the dryer doesn’t get hot enough or the drum doesn’t rotate. If a gas dryer doesn't dry properly, the first thing to check is the pilot light or igniter—it may not be lighting the burner. The second thing to check is the dryer’s vent to be sure it isn’t clogged with lint.
Take great care when working on your dryer. Unplug the dryer, and turn off the gas supply to a gas dryer at the appliance shutoff valve. As with most appliances, maintenance will keep your dryer in good shape. Clean the lint trap after every load, and clean the vent system once a year. Specific Clothes Dryer Problems & Repairs: |
