No heat
Heating elements, igniters, gas-valve components, thermal protection, sensors, airflow, and controls can interrupt heat.
Laundry appliances · Mount Prospect
Slow drying is inconvenient. Burning smells are a warning.
Tell us whether the drum turns, whether heat is present, and whether you noticed a new sound or smell. We service requests for both gas and electric dryers.
Before the appointment
Stop using the dryer if you smell burning, see smoke, hear scraping, or the cabinet becomes unusually hot. Disconnect power or shut off gas only when you can do so safely.
Diagnosis before decisions
Several failures can create the same symptom.
Good service starts by narrowing the cause—not guessing from the most obvious part.
Long dry times
Restricted airflow, vent conditions, heat output, sensors, and drum seals can all reduce drying performance.
Drum and drive
Belts, rollers, pulleys, motors, and switches can stop the drum or create new mechanical noise.
Starting and controls
Door switches, thermal protection, start controls, power supply, and electronic controls are common checkpoints when a dryer will not run.

Useful answers
Questions about dryer problems
Why does my dryer run without heating?
The cause can involve the heat source, thermal protection, airflow, sensors, or controls. Gas and electric dryers use different heating components.
Why do clothes take two cycles to dry?
Restricted airflow is common, but weak heat, sensor problems, drum seals, and load conditions can also extend drying time.
Do you accept gas and electric dryer requests?
Yes. Include the fuel type, brand, model, and symptoms so the service request can be evaluated accurately.
How often should the dryer vent be cleaned?
The appropriate interval depends on use and vent configuration. If airflow is weak or drying time increases, stop relying on a schedule and have the system evaluated.
