A malfunctioning tumble dryer can quickly turn into a major inconvenience, especially when you have a pile of laundry waiting to be dried. At APPLANCO, we understand how frustrating these issues can be, which is why we are committed to providing fast, reliable, and affordable repairs for all types of tumble dryers.
Our expert engineers are trained to diagnose and repair a wide range of tumble dryer issues, including but not limited to:
Not Heating
A tumble dryer that doesn’t heat up is a common issue and often involves a faulty heating element, thermostat, or thermal fuse. Our engineers will quickly identify and replace any broken components to get your dryer functioning properly.
Not Spinning or Tumbling
If the drum is not rotating, the issue could be with the drive belt, motor, or drum rollers. We will inspect these components to restore the spinning function and ensure proper operation.
Takes Too Long to Dry Clothes
When your dryer takes longer than usual to dry clothes, it’s often due to airflow problems, such as a clogged vent or lint filter. We will check the vents and clean the ducts to improve drying efficiency and prevent fire hazards.
Strange Noises
Is your tumble dryer making unusual noises, such as squealing, banging, or rattling? This could indicate worn-out drum bearings, rollers, or a loose part. We’ll quickly diagnose and fix the source of the noise.
The lint filter collects fibers from your clothes during drying. If it gets clogged, it can:
Block airflow
Cause overheating
Increase drying times
Become a fire hazard
Tip: Pull out the filter and remove lint with your fingers or a soft brush after every load.
In condenser and heat pump dryers, moisture from clothes is collected in a water tank. If the tank is full:
The dryer may stop mid-cycle
Drying becomes less efficient
Tip: After each use, check and empty the reservoir to keep the machine running properly.
Stuffing the drum with too many clothes can:
Reduce airflow
Lead to uneven drying
Put strain on the motor and drum
Tip: Follow the manufacturer’s load size recommendations—usually around 2/3 full is ideal.
A dryer that’s tilted or in a tight space can:
Vibrate excessively
Strain internal parts
Overheat due to poor airflow
Tip: Ensure the dryer is on a flat surface with enough space around it (especially at the back) for proper ventilation.
Residue from dryer sheets, fabric softeners, or dirty items can build up inside the drum, affecting performance.
Tip: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the drum monthly. Let it dry fully before the next use.
A blocked or dirty vent hose can:
Trap heat and moisture
Increase energy usage
Pose a fire risk
Tip: Every few months, disconnect the vent hose and remove any lint or debris inside.
