Most Common Tumble Dryer/Washing Machine Problems

Clothes feel warm but don’t fully dry

Have you ever notice when you have put some wet clothes in the tumble dryer and you return to it when the cycle finishes and the clothes are not complete, so you have to second run to finish it off.

The one main cause

One of the main causes is a faulty heating element. The heating element is there to get the tumble dryer to heat up if you have a faulty heating element the cycle will still spin and finish but then there won’t be enough heat to dry the clothes. The heating element does wear out of time, a well-maintained dryer the heating will last 8 to 18 years.

Fix

Replacing a heating element can be a simple fix compared to other fixes. We can usually find the heating element you are looking for, as long as you have the model number. If you have the heating element you can fit it yourself. To start unplug the dryer then remove the back panel, remove the connections and install the new element. Some heating elements may require you to remove the existing thermostat from the old heating element and install it on the new one. Reattach the back panel, reconnect power and run a test cycle to check for heat.

Another Cause

Vent being clogged up, When was the last time you have properly cleaned out the tumble dryer vent? Having clogged up vent can cause a serious fire hazard.

Fix

Cleaning out the vent is the main solution to keeping your dryer running smoothly and reducing the fire risk it can cause.
