Dryer Repair in the Greater Atlanta Area

Clothes dryers used to be the most straightforward household appliances. However, today’s dryers have many more electronic controls and energy-saving features that complicate repairs for an average homeowner or handyman. A family may quickly become buried in dirty clothes when their dryer stops working, so it’s essential to call a company when it does. Ensure the company hired has a strong reputation for excellent service to avoid repairing the dryer twice.

A dryer can start a fire if it’s not maintained correctly or begins to malfunction. A licensed appliance repair technician can repair most problems with clothes dryers quickly and affordably.

If a dryer isn’t working correctly, contact Mr. Fixer Atlanta. Our technicians strive to provide same-day repairs at a fair price.

Common Dryer Problems and Solutions

  • Dryer doesn’t work

    If the dryer is plugged into the electrical outlet but won’t work, it could be a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse. It is time to contact a repair technician if it's not either of these items.

    The technician can use a voltage meter in the outlet to determine if it receives electricity. Both gas and electric dryers need 240 volts for proper operation. The technician may recommend hiring a licensed electrician if the outlet fails to operate. The outlet may be the dryer's power cord if it provides sufficient voltage.

  • Dryer works but fails to heat

    If a dryer turns on and then shuts off in less than five minutes, it often indicates that the thermal resistor is faulty. Whenever the thermal fuse blows, it usually turns off, thus preventing overheating of the dryer. A technician can check the temperature sensor using a voltage meter to see if it operates properly. They can also check the dryer’s timer and heating element to confirm they are receiving power. The thermal fuse should always be replaced whenever it’s blown.

  • The dryer vibrates wildly and is noisy

    If the dryer produces noises and vibrations as it runs, it's most likely off-balance. Often, a homeowner may be able to level the dryer; however, hiring a technician might garner the best results.

  • Clothes take too long to dry

    Clean the lint filter if clothes take a long time to dry or come out covered in lint. Air never freely flows into the lint filter whenever it is full, as it requires the machine to work longer than is required. After removing the lint, thoroughly clean the filter to ensure dryer sheet residue is removed. Clean the electronic moisture sensors with rubbing alcohol.

  • Clothes won't dry after cleaning the filter

    If the filter is already clean and the dryer is heating up well, but it is still taking a long period to dry clothes, it's time to call in a technician. They will check if the dryer's vent system hose is disconnected or clogged and take the necessary steps based on their findings, either cleaning the hose or reattaching it.

    The technician can also check the outside vent. Most vents are designed with a trap door that opens when the dryer lint and air blows. If the vent becomes coated with lint, the trap door won’t open.
