Common Dryer Problems We Fix in Tarzana

• Dryer runs but clothes stay damp — a worn-out heating element, faulty gas valve coils, or restricted airflow from a clogged vent.
• Dryer won’t start — a defective door switch, broken start switch, or failed thermal fuse cutting power.
• Loud banging during tumble — worn drum support rollers, a loose baffle, or foreign objects rattling inside the drum.
• Dryer overheating — blocked lint screens, crushed exhaust hoses, or a stuck cycling thermostat that doesn’t regulate temperature.
• Wrinkled clothes after drying — a malfunctioning cool-down cycle or broken timer that doesn’t advance through phases properly.
