Four Reasons Your Dryer Is Not Heating Or Drying

Four Reasons Your Dryer Is Not Heating Or Drying
Posted On: April 29, 2022

There's nothing like the feeling of putting on warm clothes straight from the dryer. But it can't happen if your dryer isn't heating or drying.


Let us help you figure out how to get that fresh-from-the-dryer feeling again.


1. Power supply or gas supply
For an electric dryer, be sure you're using a 240-volt power supply. For gas dryers, make sure the dryer is connected to the gas supply and the shut-off valve is open.


2. Lint screen
A dirty lint screen can cause problems, which is why it should be cleaned after every load. Look for yours on the top of the dryer or in the door opening, and pull it out to swipe away lint with your finger. If there's detergent residue on your lint screen, you'll need to scrub it away with hot water, liquid detergent, and a nylon brush.


3. Vent
A few things to check here:
Is your vent made of rigid or flexible metal? Rigid metal will help your dryer achieve its 
optimal performance.
Is it 4 inches in diameter? A larger or smaller diameter will hinder good air movement and cause 
longer drying times.
Is it clogged with lint? Vents should be cleaned every year. 


Internal
After disconnecting existing dryer vent from old dryer, vacuum lint and debris from both ends of vent.


External
Remove exhaust hood. Vacuum lint and debris from exhaust hood and where vent attaches to hood.


4. The settings
Try Auto Dry instead of Timed Dry. Auto Dry senses when the load is dry and doesn't stop until it is.
