Primary Warning Signs & Symptoms

Clothes come out completely wet and cold after a full 60-minute cycle
Dryer feels warm at first but cools down after 5 minutes
Gas dryer spins but you never hear the "whoosh" of gas burner ignition
Electric dryer tripped one leg of the 240V double circuit breaker

Safe Troubleshooting Steps Before Calling

Always prioritize electrical and gas safety. Never disassemble live high-voltage components without training.

1 Check your home electrical panel: electric dryers use a double-pole 240V breaker; one half can trip while the drum still spins!
2 Check the outdoor vent hood flap to ensure it opens freely and isn’t choked with lint

Possible Causes & Severity

Blown High-Limit Thermal Safety Fuse High Severity

Trips permanently when restricted exhaust vents cause internal temperatures to spike.

Broken Nichrome Heating Element Coil High Severity

Physical break in the electric coil stops current flow.

Faulty Gas Burner Valve Solenoid Coils Medium Severity

Coils heat up and open once, then fail to re-open during the rest of the cycle.

When To Stop & Call Alexandria Appliance Repair
