Cheap & Easy Clothes Dryer Repair: 2000 Edition (Cheap and Easy)

IS YOUR DRYER: Too hot?

Not as hot as it should be?

Not heating at all?

Getting warm, but just not drying as well as it used to? Or not drying at all?

Not doing *anything*?

Rumbling, rattling, squeaking, clacking, or making grinding or other noises?

Our dryer repair manual can help!

Diagnosis and repair procedures are included for common symptoms, such as low heat or no heat, noisy operation or rumbling sounds, clothes taking too long to dry, electrical and timer problems, gas burners and electric heaters, belt and drive train problems, etc.

Covers all major appliance brands commonly available in the US.

I wrote the Cheap and Easy! appliance repair series for people who are fairly mechanically-minded, but just need a little coaching when it comes to appliances. Can you change the oil or spark plugs in your car? Most appliance repairs are no more difficult than that; diagnose the problem, change the part. A few tips and tricks, when necessary. In the manuals, I *do* inform you of how to diagnose more difficult problems (such as sealed system problems in refrigerators.) In these cases, depending on the diagnosis, I will advise you to call a professional service technician or scrap the machine; at least you will be able to make an informed decision. To my experience, these represent less than five percent of all appliance repairs.
