In today’s busy world, it’s crucial to find a balance between work and home responsibilities while also making time for ourselves.

The advent of home helpers has greatly enhanced our quality of life by eliminating the need for hand washing and reducing laundry drying times significantly. It happens that our home assistants break down, leading to situation where clothes remains wet after being placed in the dryer.

Don’t rush to replace it and buy a new dryer if your dryer heat isn’t sufficient. In this article you will find several reasons why it can happen and how to fix it without professional technician help.

Overloaded dryer

Overloaded dryer is easy to check and fix. Its very important not to put too much clothes into a dryer, because too much weight in the dryer can be a reason of clothes remaining wet after the drying cycle.

Overloaded dryer uses more energy and drying time can be longer as well, the best dryer load is no more than three quarters full.

Dryer lint filter is not clean as it should be

Dryer lint filter must be clean as much as possible to prevent the blockage of airflow. Its even more dangerous than you can imagine. By cleaning the dryer lint regularly you prevent a house fire.

1. Take out the screen and gently remove the lint by hand.
2. Use a little brush, hot water and some cleanser to remove any impurity.
3. Use the small vacuum and do vacuum out the lint from inside.
4. Rince the dryer lint screen with hot water properly and put it back in place.

Check the dryer vent

First of all, to check the dryer vent you need to touch your dryer top panel during the dryers cycle. If the dryer is too hot, not just warm, it means that the heat is not going out because of the vent blockage.

What you can do is to pull out your dryer from the place and disconnect the electrical cord vent connector. Insert carefully your vacuum into the dryers exhaust. Also try to use a big dryer lint brush: spin the brush inside the vacuumed exhaust for several times, and pull out the lint. Repeat until you see that the brush is coming out clean. Reconnect your dryer and place it back.

Check the dryers heat

If your dryer is working well, but is not heating, then you can do the following.

Run you dryers cycle for approximately 7-10 minutes and put your hand under the outside exaust vent. If you can feel the air coming from the exhaust and it’s pretty cold, then it’s a bad sign – probably the heating element or thermal fuse needs replacement. At this point its better to call the professional. They will make the process easier and hassle free.

Before investing in a new dryer, consider troubleshooting these common issues with dryer heat yourself. Addressing these problems promptly can save you time and money on professional repairs or replacements.

We described some of the simplest methods, but unfortunately not all of them can be helpful. If after all the attempts the dryer remains faulty, before you looking for a new one, contact Best Solution Appliance Repair service.

1. No Heat:
   • Heating Element: A burnt-out or faulty heating element is a common reason for a dryer not producing heat.
2. Poor Heating:
   • Thermostat Issues: Malfunctioning thermostats can cause the dryer to either overheat or not heat up enough. It’s essential to check both the cycling and high-limit thermostats.
3. Drum Not Turning:
   • Belt or Motor Issues: A broken or slipped belt or a malfunctioning motor can prevent the drum from turning.
4. Loud or Unusual Sounds:
   • Roller or Drum Bearing Issues: Worn-out drum rollers or drum bearings can cause loud noises during operation.
5. Dryer Not Starting:
   • Door Switch or Start Switch: If the door switch or start switch is faulty, the dryer may not start. Check these components for proper functioning.
6. Overheating:
   • Blocked Vent or Duct: Poor ventilation due to a clogged vent or duct can cause the dryer to overheat. This can be a fire hazard and should be addressed promptly.
7. Clothes Taking Too Long to Dry:
   • Ventilation Issues: In addition to a blocked vent, a long or convoluted venting system can contribute to extended drying times. Ensure proper ventilation.
8. Wrinkled Clothes:
   • Overloading or Incorrect Settings: Overloading the dryer or selecting the wrong settings can result in wrinkled clothes. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for load size and use appropriate settings.
9. Burnt Smell:
   • Lint Buildup or Ventilation Issues: Accumulated lint in the lint trap or vent can catch fire, leading to a burnt smell. Regular cleaning is crucial to prevent this.
10. Dryer Shuts Off Prematurely:
    • Thermal Fuse or High-Limit Thermostat: A blown thermal fuse or malfunctioning high-limit thermostat can cause the dryer to shut off unexpectedly. This is often a safety feature to prevent overheating.

Remember, safety is a top priority when dealing with dryer issues. Always unplug the dryer before attempting any repairs or inspections. If you’re unsure about how to address a problem, or if the issue persists after basic troubleshooting, it’s advisable to consult the manufacturer’s guidelines or seek assistance from a qualified appliance repair professional.
