Our dryer technicians have seen the following common problems in dryers:
Insufficient Heat: A dryer may experience issues with producing or maintaining sufficient heat. This can result in clothes not drying properly or taking longer to dry than usual. Causes can include a malfunctioning heating element, a faulty thermostat, or problems with the temperature control system.
Drum Not Spinning: If the drum of your dryer fails to spin, it can prevent clothes from drying. This problem may be due to a broken drive belt, motor issues, or problems with the drum rollers or pulley system.
Excessive Noise: Unusual or excessive noise during operation is often a sign of a problem. This can be caused by worn-out drum support rollers, a damaged blower wheel, loose or damaged bearings, or a faulty motor.
Overheating or Overheated Components: Overheating can lead to safety hazards and damage to various components. Causes can include clogged vent systems, restricted airflow, malfunctioning thermostats, or issues with the high-limit thermostat or thermal fuse.
Poor Airflow or Ventilation Issues: Insufficient airflow or ventilation problems can impact the drying efficiency of a commercial dryer. Clogged or blocked vents, ducts, or lint filters can restrict airflow, resulting in longer drying times and increased energy consumption.
Electrical or Control Panel Problems: Electrical issues, such as faulty wiring, damaged cords, or malfunctioning control panels, can cause operational problems in a commercial dryer. These issues may affect the dryer’s ability to start, cycle properly, or maintain consistent temperatures.
Sensor Malfunctions: Many dryers feature moisture sensors to detect when clothes are dry and automatically stop the drying cycle. Sensor malfunctions can result in clothes being under-dried or over-dried. Cleaning or recalibrating the sensors may be necessary.
As you can see, diagnosing and repairing commercial dryers can be complex and may require the expertise of a professional technician. We diagnose the specific problem and provide the necessary repairs or replacements to get your dryer back in working order.

Deciding whether it’s worthwhile to repair a dryer depends on several factors. These are some considerations we tell our clients to help them make an informed decision:
Cost of repairs: Does the repair cost 50% less than the price of a new dryer? If so, it may be better to proceed with the repairs. Give us a call, we’ll give you a free estimate of repairs over the phone.
Age of the dryer: If your dryer is nearing the end of its expected lifespan or has already had multiple repairs in the past, it may be best to invest in a new appliance instead of repairing it.
Overall performance: If it has been a reliable dryer that provides effective drying, and has features that meet your needs, repairing it can be worthwhile.
Warranty: Is the dryer still under warranty? If it is, repairs may be covered, or the manufacturer may offer a discount for replacement.
However, it’s best to consult a professional technician like the ones in NWAR. We can assess the specific issue and provide a free estimate for repairs over the phone.
Our technicians will offer guidance based on their knowledge and expertise to help you determine if repairing the dryer is the best option for YOU.
If you don’t have the technical knowledge and skills to repair household appliances (and dryers in particular), we strongly advise you against trying to fix your dryer on your own.
You risk making the problem worse. Also, you may not know how to repair the dryer safely.
Dryers involve electrical and/or gas connections, and it’s crucial to prioritize safety when working with these components. If you’re not comfortable or experienced in handling these types of connections, leave those repairs to a qualified technician.
With that said, some dryer issues can be relatively simple to diagnose and repair. Mostly those related to maintenance and cleaning.
Routine maintenance tasks like cleaning the lint filter, clearing clogged vents, and ensuring proper airflow are generally simple and can be done by most users. These tasks can help prevent common dryer problems and improve performance.
Other repairs may be more advanced but could still be done by certain users, such as replacing a worn-out drum belt, faulty heating element, or a malfunctioning thermostat.
These can be tackled by following instructional guides or tutorials, given you have basic knowledge of appliance repairs.
However, your access to parts and components plays a huge role. Some dryer models have complex internal structures that require disassembly to access specific parts or components.
Our technicians bring parts with them, so you won’t have to worry about that.
So, if you’re unfamiliar with the inner workings of your dryer or unsure about disassembling it, consult an NWAR professional.
Finally, remember that attempting to repair the dryer yourself may void any existing warranty. Check your warranty terms and conditions to understand the manufacturer’s requirements for repairs and servicing.
That’s why we recommend calling to get a skilled professional to repair your dryer, more so if you don’t have knowledge on the topic.
Our technicians have seen that, if your dryer is spinning but not drying the clothes properly, there could be several possible causes:
Ventilation Issues: Insufficient airflow due to clogged or blocked vents is a frequent cause of drying problems. When the dryer cannot expel moist air properly, it leads to longer drying times or ineffective drying. Check and clean the lint filter, exhaust vent, and ductwork to ensure proper airflow.
Heating Element: A faulty heating element can result in a dryer spinning without generating enough heat. The heating element may be damaged or burned out, requiring replacement. A multimeter can be used to test the heating element for continuity.
Thermostat Issues: Dryers have multiple thermostats to regulate temperature. If one of the thermostats is malfunctioning, it can disrupt the heating process and cause inadequate drying. Faulty thermostats may need to be tested and replaced if necessary.
Blower Fan Problems: The blower fan circulates hot air throughout the dryer. If the fan is clogged with debris or obstructed, it can affect airflow and hinder drying efficiency. Cleaning or repairing the blower fan can help resolve this issue.
Electrical Problems: Faulty electrical connections, such as a loose or damaged power cord, can prevent the dryer from heating properly. Inspect the power supply and connections to ensure they are secure and in good condition.
Overloaded Dryer: Overloading the dryer with too many clothes can hinder proper airflow and drying. It’s important to follow the recommended capacity guidelines for your specific dryer model.
These are general reasons, though. Our expert technicians can diagnose and repair the problem, so you get back to your routine life as quickly as possible.
