How to Diagnose a Dryer Problem Before Calling

Run through these checks in Washington before calling — you may save a service visit.

  1. 1

    Clean the lint trap and exhaust duct

    A blocked lint trap or kinked exhaust hose is the number-one reason a dryer runs but won't dry. Clear both thoroughly before assuming a mechanical fault.

  2. 2

    Check the circuit breaker for electric dryers

    Electric dryers run on two 120V legs. If one leg trips, the drum turns but produces no heat. Reset both breakers for the dryer circuit and test again.

  3. 3

    Test the door switch

    A dryer that won't start at all often has a failed door switch. Press it manually — you should hear a click. No click usually means a quick, inexpensive part swap.

  4. 4

    Listen for squealing or thumping during tumble

    Those sounds indicate a worn drum roller, idler pulley, or drive belt. They worsen quickly and can damage the drum if left unrepaired.

  5. 5

    Call a technician if the drum doesn't turn or the breaker keeps tripping

    A seized drum or persistent electrical fault requires safe professional diagnosis to avoid a fire hazard.
