Clothes dryers are easily the fastest and best way to dry your clothes, but even the best ones will need occasional maintenance to work effectively. While it’s easy to recognize that it’s time to schedule a dryer repair appointment if the unit isn’t working, identifying the early warning signs of impending issues can be more difficult. Here are a few of the most common warning signs to watch for.

3 Signs It’s Time to Schedule a Dryer Repair Appointment

1. Taking Forever to Dry a Load

Dryer RepairUnless you have incredibly thick fabrics or large loads, your clothes should be dry by the end of the cycle. If you have to put your clothes through multiple cycles just to get the fabric to dry, there might be a problem with the unit, such as a blocked air vent or burned-out heating element. Scheduling a tuneup with a dryer repair expert will help boost the efficiency of the machine and ensure it works properly.

2. Strange Noises When It’s Running

Every dryer makes noise when it’s turned on, but, if you hear something out of the ordinary, it’s time to call an expert. Strange noises, unusual vibrations, and rattling sounds could all indicate a damaged engine part or broken bearing. Leaving strange noises unaddressed is a simple way to damage or break the unit entirely.

3. Clothes Warm Up but Don’t Spin

When the dryer tosses clothes around, it helps speed up the drying time. If the drum isn’t spinning, your clothes won’t dry or fluff properly, leaving the fabric wet and wrinkled. Contrary to popular belief, a broken drum does not always mean the unit needs to be replaced. In fact, the problem could be a damaged belt, which is affordable to repair.

 

Repairing a broken dryer is almost always more affordable than purchasing a new unit.
