    During repairs, faulty parts, rollers, belts, tensioners are replaced. But in addition to this, in most cases it is necessary to clean the inside of the dryer. Otherwise, newly installed parts will quickly break due to dust, lint and foreign objects accumulated inside the dryer.

  2. The dryer does not heat.
    A common problem is the failure of sensors or the heating element due to overheating, clogged ventilation ducts, or short circuit. Possible failure of the control board.

The photo below shows traces of a lint fire inside the dryer. Fortunately, there was no major fire. Only the dryer suffered a lot of damage inside.dryer_lint_firefire_inside_dryer_caused_lint

    Technicians of our company will clean the inside of the dryer and replace the identified faulty parts.
    Also, a common problem in addition to lint inside the dryer, blockages in the ventilation ducts. Such blockages prevent the normal removal of heat and moisture from the dryer, which causes overheating and failure of dryer parts.
    Our technicians have the ability to clean or replace ventilation ducts that are not very long and are in the open air. If the ducts are long and pass inside walls and ceilings, this requires special equipment. In this situation, you need to contact ventilation cleaning specialists.

    The problem most often occurs due to dust accumulated inside the dryer or dryer rollers or bearings age. To repair, first of all, it is necessary to clean the inside of the dryer. After that, defect detection and replacement of rollers, sliding bearings, worn guide elements of the dryer are carried out.

    It is important to note that long-term operation of a dryer that makes abnormal noises often leads to expensive and time-consuming repairs.
    Therefore, when noise appears, it is better to repair the dryer immediately while the repair is not expensive.

  4. The dryer does not turn on.
    This fault occurs for various reasons depending on the design of the dryer and can be caused by a broken belt, as well as burnt-out sensors, fuses, control boards, etc. The exact cause of this malfunction can be determined by a technician during diagnostics.
