Common Dryer Problems We Fix in Northridge

• Electric dryer won’t heat — a tripped breaker, burned heating element, or open thermal cutoff that kills the heat circuit.
• Gas dryer flame won’t ignite — a cracked igniter, worn flame sensor, or defective gas valve coils preventing ignition.
• Dryer vibrates excessively — the machine may be unlevel, or the drum bearings could be wearing out.
• Clothes come out with dark marks — worn drum seals, loose baffles, or grease from deteriorating rollers leaving streaks.
• Timer doesn’t advance — a defective timer motor, failed moisture sensor, or control board issue that leaves the dryer running endlessly.
• Dryer door pops open during cycle — a worn door catch or broken latch spring that needs replacement.
