Why Is My Dryer Not Heating?

The most common dryer complaint is "it runs but nothing gets dry." In electric dryers, this is almost always a blown thermal fuse — a safety device that trips when the dryer overheats, typically because the vent duct is clogged with lint. In gas dryers, heat failure usually traces to a faulty igniter or bad gas valve solenoids.

Beyond heat issues, squeaking and thumping sounds point to worn drum rollers, a fraying drive belt, or a failing idler pulley. These mechanical issues progress quickly — a squeaking dryer ignored can become a seized motor within weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

My dryer runs but produces no heat — what is the most likely cause?
In electric dryers, a blown thermal fuse is the most common cause and almost always means the vent duct is clogged with lint. In gas dryers, a failed igniter or gas valve solenoid is typically the problem. We diagnose and fix both in a single visit.
Do you repair gas dryers in Northern Virginia?
Yes. Our technicians are EPA-certified for gas appliance repair and service gas dryers throughout Prince William, Loudoun, and Fauquier Counties.
Do you inspect dryer vents as part of the service call?
Yes. We check dryer vent conditions on every service call at no extra charge. A clogged vent is the leading cause of dryer failure and a leading cause of residential fires — we address it every time.
My dryer is squeaking loudly — is that serious?
A squeaking dryer almost always means worn drum rollers, a fraying drive belt, or a failing idler pulley. These are relatively inexpensive parts but the problem progresses fast.
How do I know if my dryer vent is clogged?
The most common signs are clothes taking more than 45 minutes to dry, the dryer feeling very hot to the touch, a burning smell during operation, or the dryer shutting off before the cycle completes.
