Dryer Makes an Unusual Noise
Stop the dryer and check pockets, zippers and loose items in the drum after it stops completely. An unbalanced load or items striking the drum can make noise without an internal failure. Persistent scraping, grinding or a new loud vibration may involve drum supports, the drive system or another component. Do not remove panels while investigating. Record the sound and arrange a diagnosis before replacing a belt, bearing or motor.
Dryer Will Not Start
Confirm that the door is fully closed, a drying cycle is selected and Control Lock or Delay Start is not active. Follow the manual's instructions for holding the Start button. Note whether the display works and whether you hear a click or motor sound. A door switch, power-supply issue, control fault or protective device can prevent starting. No response to the Start button alone does not prove that the start switch needs replacement. Leave internal testing to a qualified technician.
Dryer Runs but Does Not Heat
Check that an air-only or no-heat cycle is not selected. Clean the lint screen as the manual describes and note whether clothes are also taking longer to dry. Electric and gas dryers use different heating systems, and a heat-pump dryer operates differently again. A supply, airflow, heater, ignition or control problem needs diagnosis for the particular model. Do not bypass a thermal safety device or work on gas connections. Stop using the dryer if you notice a burning smell or excessive heat.
Clothes Take Too Long to Dry
Clean the lint screen, avoid overloading and use a cycle appropriate for the fabric. Clothes that leave the washer unusually wet also extend drying time. For a vented dryer, check only safely accessible visible ducting and the outside outlet for obstruction; do not climb or disconnect a gas dryer to investigate. Heat-pump and condenser models need the maintenance specified in their own manuals. Persistent long cycles, unusual heat or a burning smell require attention before continued use.
