Common Dryer Problems We Fix in Encino

• Dryer not heating — burned-out heating elements, blown thermal fuses, or a faulty gas igniter are the most common causes we see in Encino homes.
• Dryer takes too long to dry — restricted exhaust vents, clogged lint traps, or a failing blower wheel reduce efficiency dramatically.
• Unusual thumping or squealing — worn drum rollers, frayed belts, or damaged idler pulleys create alarming noises.
• Dryer shuts off after a few minutes — overheating due to blocked ventilation or a defective cycling thermostat.
• Drum not turning — a snapped drive belt, failed motor, or broken drum roller axle.
• Burning smell from the dryer — lint accumulation near the heating element, a seized bearing, or wiring issues that require immediate attention.
