Here are some common problems: Dryer Stops Running: The thermal fuse may be too hot and needs to cool down.No Heat: Check the circuits in the breaker box. There may also be a break in the coil of the dryer element.Won’t Start: First ensure the dryer is plugged in and that the door is closed properly. Then check the dryer cord and operating thermal fuse.Noise: Most likely the drum rollers or idler pulley are worn. Also, front or rear drum seals may be defective or the dryer may not be level.Drum Won’t Turn: It is likely that the belt is broken. It could also be a dislodged idler pulley, overstretched belt or loose motor pulley. Check to ensure the idler wheel is spinning freely on the shaft. As well, check for flat spots on the rollers and ensure that the rollers are spin freely.Clothes Won’t Dry: If it is a gas dryer, check the line valve. You may also have the machine on the wrong dryer settings. If not, check the weather hood to be sure the flapper moves freely. As well, check the exhaust duct to make sure it is not blocked. Cycle Too Slow: When clothes are wetter or the machine is on automatic cycle, the machine adjusts to a slower cycle.Wrinkled Clothes: Large loads will not tumble properly. The problem may also result from running the dryer too long.Odor On Clothes: Any odors in the room are sucked into the dryer as it draws in air. Make sure the area is properly ventilated.
