Dryer won’t start

Dryer won’t stop

Your favourite shirt is in the dryer and you can’t wait to take it out and wear it, but then you notice that your dryer is not stopping. This can be a very frustrating issue. But don’t worry, there are a couple different reasons this could be happening, and the team at MAAR24 Repair is just a phone call away when you need help with your dryer.
Causes:
Door switch: if you open the dryer door and it continues to spin, there is likely an issue with the dryer door switch. The dryer door switch is a safety mechanism that signals to the dryer to stop when the door is open. So, when you open the door and it does not immediately stop, you are going to have to get the switch looked at.
Timer: the timer determines how long your cycle runs for by sending signals to the dryer when it is time to start or stop. If the timer is not working properly, it won’t be able to send the signal to the dryer to stop, and the dry cycle will continue to run.
Cycling thermostat: if your dryer comes with an auto dry function and you use it, this feature uses something called a cycling thermostat. This thermostat is what advances the timer to signal the machine to stop. If the cycling thermostat is not working correctly and is not accurately reading the temperature, it will not signal the timer, and the machine will continue to run.
Cool down thermostat: if your dryer comes with a feature that continues to spin the clothing once they are dry to reduce wrinkles, it more than likely uses a cool down thermostat. This thermostat allows the drum to continue spinning until it reaches a certain temperature. If this thermostat is not working correctly, it can cause the dryer to continue spinning until you manually turn it off.

Dryer trips breaker

DRYER TRIPPING BREAKER
Nothing is more frustrating than when you are trying to get the laundry done but your dryer keeps tripping your circuit breaker. You’re probably wondering what is causing your dryer to trip the breaker, but don’t worry, we’re here to help with whatever issue it could be.
Causes:
Heating element & heating element assembly: the heating element is what heats up your dryer so that your wet clothes can dry. If the heating element fails, it can short out the heating housing, which can then cause your dryer to trip the breaker. If the problem is with the heating element, it will need to be replaced.
Internal short: there is the possibility that one of the internal components of your dryer has caused an internal short, which then trips the breaker. There are several components that can cause an internal short such as a poor door switch, the timer, or the motor.
Terminal block: electric dryers have a series of power cords that all attach at the terminal block. If any of the wires have come loose, they can arc, which will destroy part of the terminal block. If this occurs, the wire can short out against the dryer, causing the dryer to trip the breaker.
Drive motor: if the drive motor inside of your dryer is faulty, it can short out internally. If the drive motor shorts out internally, it will cause the dryer to trip the breaker.
If none of these common causes are the culprit behind tripping your circuit breaker, the problem may be the circuit breaker itself. Over time, circuit breakers become worn out and weak. If a breaker has become weak, and can trip repeatedly. You will require a professional electrician to deal with this issue.

Should I continue using my dryer if I notice a problem?

If your dryer is running hot, it’s not a good idea to use it until it’s repaired. You could end up with seriously damaged clothing.

Why is my dryer not drying properly?

If your dryer takes a long time to dry, the most common problem is the venting hose. If there is blockage in the venting hose, this significantly affects the rate at which your clothes dry.

Why can’t I start my dryer?

If your dryer won’t start, the problem can be as simple as your door switch, or as complex as the motor. With issues like this, it’s always best to call a dryer repair technician to determine the cause and fix the issue.

Why doesn’t my dryer spin well?

A frequent cause of the dryer not spinning well is a faulty dryer belt. Replacing it can be a tricky thing to do, so the best solution is to hire a dryer repair professional to do it for you.

My clothes don’t smell fresh at the end of the cycle.

The problem with tumble drying your clothes is that no matter what you do, the items won’t smell as fresh as air dried. In this case, you can try using bounce sheets to enhance the smell or put in a baby wipe with a drop of essential oil with the clothes.

Why is my dryer making scraping noises?

If you notice any unusual noises coming from your dryer in the middle of your cycle, make sure you pause it until you figure it out. Ignoring the noise can lead to major problems. The reasons can be something simple like a foreign object in the drum. With more complex issues such as disintegrating gliders, worn rollers or a damaged belt, it is best to call a dryer repair technician to fix the issue properly.

Why does my dryer’s cycle last so long?

When dryer cycles last long, the first thing you should have in mind is how much clothes you’re actually putting in it. So before you call the dryer repair professional, make sure you’re putting in the appropriate amount of laundry. If you are putting in the right amount of clothes, but the problem still exists, the issue might be the coil, the lint filter or the drum seal.

What do I do if my dryer is not getting hot enough?

There are a number of reasons why your dryer isn’t heating up properly, including a defective heating element, an insufficient voltage to your dryer, a faulty thermal fuse, a thermostat that’s not working, and a broken timer motor. When your dryer is heating properly, give our dryer technician a call for reliable repairs.

What do I do if my dryer is getting too hot?

A dryer can overheat for a few reasons. If there is restricted airflow to your dryer, then hot air can get stuck in your dryer. Also, if the cycling thermostat breaks down, then it won’t automatically shut off the heating element when temperatures in your dryer get high.

How often should I clean lint?

To avoid potential dangers and malfunctions, clean the lint in your dryer after every cycle.

How do I clean dye transfer from the dryer drum?

To clean out stains inside your dryer drum, you should make a paste with warm water and powdered laundry detergent. Rub the insides of the drum thoroughly and wipe off paste residue. To dry the drum, tumble a load of clean towels or clothes.

Can I get my dryer fixed on the same day?

The problem with all appliance repairs is that you often need to replace a faulty part. Most dryer repair technicians carry spare parts with them, so same day repair is highly likely if they have the necessary part.

How can I maintain my dryer?

You can maintain your dryer by doing the following:
Clean the vent.
Clean the lint sheet regularly.
Don’t put soiled clothes in your dryer. Only put clothes that have first been through your washer.
Wipe down the outside of your dryer from time to time.
