Washer And Dryer Repair
Common dryer repair problems involve dryers that won't work at all, dryers that won't tumble, slow drying, overheating or a lack of heat in the dryer. Here are a few basic dryer repairs you can perform while you wait for a professional dryer repair service to arrive at your home. If your clothes dryer doesn't run at all, make sure that the appliance is plugged in properly. Check if the power outlet is functioning by using the voltage tester or by plugging in any other appliance. Many electric dryers require a 240 volt receptacle to work. If there is nothing with the power, check the power cord, and if necessary, replace it. If there is nothing wrong here too, open the dryer door, and check if the door switch clicks each time you release it. If there is no clicking noise, then you may have a broken door switch. Call a dryer repair professional to replace the switch.
If your dryer doesn't tumble or makes a lot of noise, check the interior of the drum to see if there are any objects that have become loose. A noisy dryer can also be caused by a worn out drum belt or motor bearings, a defective support roller or a faulty idler pulley. If the dryer continues to run, but there is no tumbling, there may be a fault with the belt, motor or switch. Call a dryer repair service immediately. If you can smell natural gas close to the dryer, don't turn on any electrical switches or light matches. Shut off the gas valve, and open all doors and windows to let the smell of gas out. Turn off the main gas supply connection, and then call your gas supplier from outside the house. If your drier takes long to dry, then it could be a blockage of the dryer vent. Clean the lint trap, and make sure that the dryer isn't located too close to the valve. The air duct should have enough space, and there should be no blockages in its path.
Basic washing machine repairs tend to be easier because of the simple working of the machine. If your washer doesn't agitate, look for a broken or loose belt. You can replace or tighten the belt yourself, or call a washer repair service to replace it for you. There could also be control problems that can be fixed by a repair man. If the washer doesn't drain, look for a broken tab on the lid. If the lid switch doesn't click when you press and release the switch, then it may be broken and may have to be replaced. Your water pump could be clogged with pieces of fabric. These are problems that should be handled by a professional washing machine repair service.
