Tumbling Troubles: How to Get Your Dryer Working Again


Summary:

When you put clothes in your dryer and turn it on, you expect to hear the gentle thump of tumbling clothes. If all you hear is the hum of the motor, something's wrong. Here's how to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Diagnosing Dryer Issues:


Before investigating, make sure to turn off the power by unplugging the dryer or switching off the breaker.

Key Components to Check:


1. Dryer Belt:

The belt connects the drum to the motor. Remove the dryer's front panel to access it. The belt should loop over the drum, under the idler pulley wheel, and around the motor's drive pulley. Check for cracks by bending a small section. If damaged, replace it. Replace the belt every 5-8 years.

2. Idler Pulley Wheel:

This part applies tension to the belt. Remove the belt and spin the pulley. It should spin smoothly without wobbling. If it doesn't, replace the pulley. Some models require replacing the entire arm assembly. Replace the pulley and the belt together to avoid damage to the motor.

3. Motor:

Use a multimeter to test the motor's terminals and ground connection. If it fails, the motor needs replacement.

4. Door Switch:

The door switch prevents operation when the door is open. It activates when the door closes, allowing the dryer to start. Test the switch for continuity with an ohmmeter. If readings are incorrect, replace the switch.

Additional Help:

If you're uncomfortable with these tasks or lack the necessary tools, consider hiring a service technician. They can efficiently diagnose and advise on necessary parts replacements.

By checking these components, you can get your dryer back in working order quickly.
