Dryer repair in Springfield, MO
Dryer repair, electric and gas. Most no-heat and long-cycle calls come down to airflow, and that gets checked first.
What is it doing?
Open the one that matches. Each says what usually causes it, which is not the same as what will.
01Runs but no heat
What usually causes it
On electric dryers this is usually a blown heating element or a tripped thermal fuse, and a tripped fuse almost always means restricted venting caused it. On gas dryers it is more often the igniter or the flame sensor.

What usually causes it
Commonly the door switch, the start switch or the thermal fuse. A dryer that hums without turning usually has a seized blower wheel or a failed motor start winding.
Book a repair03Won't tumble
What usually causes it
Nearly always the drive belt, which snaps and leaves the motor running freely. Worn idler pulleys and drum rollers are the next candidates, and they are what wore the belt out.
Book a repair04Takes too long to dry
What usually causes it
Almost always airflow. A lint-packed vent run, a crushed transition hose or a blocked exterior flap will double a cycle time long before any component has actually failed.

What usually causes it
A rhythmic thump is usually a flat spot on a drum roller. A scrape is often the drum glides or the rear felt seal worn through, letting the drum ride on metal.

What usually causes it
Drum rollers, the idler pulley or the rear drum bearing. Worth fixing early: a squeal is the warning before the part seizes and takes the belt with it.
Book a repair07Shuts off mid cycle
What usually causes it
Usually a thermal cut-out doing its job because the machine is overheating from poor venting. It can also be a failing motor dropping out once it is hot, or a cracked solder joint on the control board.
