Three cycles for one load became routine. Vent was packed solid with lint. Cleared, one cycle does it now.

Clothes as damp as when they went in, or a cycle that never seems to end, usually comes down to one specific part.
Tap through to see what's usually going on and how we handle it.
Tumbles Fine, Stays Cold
Drum spins on schedule, nothing dries. Either the heating coil burned out or a fuse tripped to protect the wiring. Test both separately, don't guess.
One Load Takes Three Runs
Used to be one pass, now it's three. Look at the vent, not the machine. Trapped moisture won't clear no matter the heat.
Motor Runs, Drum Won't Move
Sounds fine, drum sits still, maybe a rubbery smell. Belt's likely snapped or slipped. Open the cabinet, confirm in minutes.
Screeches Right At Startup
Immediate squeal, fades or doesn't. Dry rollers under the drum, almost always. Lubrication or a swap depending on wear.
Faint Scorch Early On
Don't ignore it. Lint against the coil can char, that's a fire risk too. Full chamber clean, every time.
Quits With Time Left
Cutoff tripped early, usually a blocked vent pushing heat up faster than normal. Fix the vent first.
Types We Service
Every manufacturer does this a little differently, so treat these as general patterns rather than your model's exact manual.
Manufacturers rarely agree on these, so use the list as a starting point rather than your exact manual. If yours keeps returning after a reset, have someone come read it properly.
What customers said once their dryer was sorted.
Quite a few service calls end up being something small you could've caught on your own.
Empty the lint trap every load
Prevents more slow-dry calls than anything else here.
Check the vent hose for kinks
Follow it for a flattened or bent stretch.
Confirm power or gas is on
Breaker flipped, or valve fully open.
Shut the door completely
Safety switch needs a full close.
Don't overfill the drum
Stops tumbling, can confuse the sensor.
Check the outside vent cap
Should swing freely, no nest or leaves.
Ran through all that and nothing changed? It's likely something a proper visit can sort out. Book a technician and we'll take it from there.
