My electric dryer won't start. What's wrong with it?

There could be a simple fix like a tripped circuit breaker or a loose plug. However, it's also possible that a broken start switch or a faulty thermostat is causing the issue.

Why is my electric dryer not heating?

If your dryer is not producing heat, it may indicate a problem with the fuse, temperature switch, thermostat, or heating coil. These issues typically require professional repair, so trust Mr. Appliance ® of Rochester to handle it for you.

Why is my electric dryer drum not turning?

If the motor is running but the drum is not spinning, the most likely culprit is a broken belt. However, a faulty roller, motor, or idler pulley could also be to blame.

Do electric dryers need a vent?

Most electric dryers require a vent to expel the warm, moist air and lint. Typically, this vent leads to the outdoors. However, there are electric "ventless dryers" available that function as hot air vacuums, utilizing room-temperature air to dry your clothes.

How can I tell if my dryer is gas or electric?

If your dryer is only connected to a heavy-duty electric plug that runs into a 220V outlet, it is an electric dryer. However, if you also have a thin connector, typically stainless steel, in addition to the electric wire, then you have a gas dryer.
