05

Clean Exit

We clean the area we worked in and share a few simple tips. Then we get out of your way.

When you should stop running the dryer

Some dryer problems are annoying. Some are risky. Stop using the dryer and schedule service if you notice:

  • A burning smell
  • Very hot exterior panels
  • The dryer shuts off mid cycle repeatedly
  • The breaker trips more than once
  • The drum will not turn but the motor hums
  • You smell gas near a gas dryer

If you smell gas, turn the dryer off. Ventilate the area. Do not keep trying to ignite it. Call a pro.

Common dryer problems we fix in Tyler

Dryers fail in patterns. That is good news. Patterns make diagnosis faster.

Dryer has no heat

The Classic Failure

The dryer tumbles. The timer runs. But clothes come out cold and damp. No heat can come from a few places: Heating components. Sensors. Safety cutoffs. Controls.

A good diagnosis matters here. It keeps you from replacing the wrong part. If you need dryer repair Tyler homeowners can rely on, we can track the real cause.

Track the Real Cause

Takes too long to dry

Airflow & Safety

Long dry times are one of the most common calls. And yes, airflow is often part of it.

Quick checks you can do now:

  • ● Clean the lint screen carefully
  • ● Check the outside vent hood flap
  • ● Make sure the vent line is not crushed
  • ● Keep loads medium, not stuffed

If dry times stay long, stop running it repeatedly. Overheating can wear parts faster. It can also become a safety concern.

Dryer will not start

Power & Logic

If the dryer is dead silent, it could be power related. Many electric dryers need full power to run and heat. A partial power issue can look confusing.

It can also be a door switch issue. A start switch issue. Or a control problem. We will test safely and confirm what failed.

Thump, Squeal, or Grind

Mechanical Wear

Noise usually points to wear parts. Noise rarely fixes itself. It usually gets louder. If you want it handled before it turns into a bigger repair, schedule service.

Common culprits include:

  • • Drum rollers
  • • Idler pulley
  • • Belt wear
  • • Drum support or glides
  • • Blower wheel issues

Drum will not turn

Sometimes you will hear the motor, but the drum does not move. This can be a broken belt, seized roller, or jammed drum. We check the drive system and confirm the real failure point, then repair and test under load.

Shuts off mid cycle

This one frustrates people; it feels random. In many cases, the dryer is overheating and protecting itself. Restricted venting, failing thermostats, or sensors can contribute. We test heat, airflow, and safety components.

Dryer trips the breaker

Breaker trips can be a wiring issue, a heater issue, or a motor problem. Do not keep resetting and restarting. Repeated trips can damage components. We will confirm the electrical readings and isolate the cause.

The Tyler factor that affects dryers more than people expect

Tyler homes are a mix. Older homes. Newer builds. Tight laundry closets. Garage laundry setups. All of that changes how a dryer breathes.

Long vent runs and sharp turns can slow airflow. Lint builds faster in those setups. You also see outside vent hoods that get clogged by debris.

If you live near areas like the Azalea District, or in older neighborhoods with tighter utility spaces, vent routing can be more complex. If you are in newer communities around South Tyler, you may have stacked laundry closets with limited access.

We plan for that during the visit. We look at the dryer and the vent path. We do not just swap a part and leave.

We adapt to the local Tyler environment.

A dryer in a Lindale garage behaves differently than one in a multi-story South Broadway stacked closet. We account for every variable.

Tools for faster, cleaner diagnosis

You do not need every tool to fix a dryer. But you do need the right ones. This is about being accurate.

  • ● Digital multimeter
  • ● Clamp meter
  • ● Temperature probes
  • ● Infrared thermometer
  • ● Vent inspection tools
  • ● Gas leak detector

Pricing approach

People want to know cost. That is fair. Most dryer repairs depend on the model and the failed part. Labor depends on access and the type of repair.

Before the visit:

Ask questions and set expectations.

After diagnosis:

Explain cause and give repair options.

Repair or replace

This question comes up constantly. We will not force an answer. We will explain the reality. Then you decide.

Repair makes sense when

  • ● Common wear parts are the culprit
  • ● The rest of the dryer is in good shape
  • ● The fix restores safe operation reliably

Replacement makes sense when

  • ● Repeated major failures occur
  • ● Cost approaches replacement value
  • ● Parts are not practical to source
