Common Dryer Problems We Fix in Ajax

Common Dryer Problems in Ajax

From Westney Heights to Riverside, these are the faults our technicians fix most often at Ajax homes.

Dryer not heating: The most common call we receive from Ajax. Electric dryers typically point to a blown thermal fuse or a failed heating element — both single-visit repairs. Gas dryers point to a faulty igniter or a failed gas valve solenoid, which cuts off the gas supply to the burner.

Dryer not spinning: When the motor runs but the drum sits still, the drum belt has almost certainly snapped. If the drum is seized and won't turn at all, a worn rear bearing or failed motor is the more likely cause — common in older machines in Ajax homes that run multiple loads per day.

Taking too long to dry: A clogged lint vent is the number-one cause and a genuine fire hazard. Beyond the vent, a weakened heating element or a dirty moisture sensor bar can trick the dryer into running longer cycles than needed.

Squealing or thumping noise: A rhythmic thumping points to worn drum glides or a fraying drum belt. A high-pitched squeal usually means the rear drum bearing is failing. Both worsen quickly if left unrepaired.

Shuts off mid-cycle: The thermal overload trips when the dryer overheats — almost always caused by a blocked exhaust vent. If the vent is clear, a failing cycling thermostat is the next suspect.

Won't start: Check that the door is fully latching — a faulty door switch is the most frequent cause. A blown thermal fuse or a failed control board can also prevent start-up entirely.
