Dryer Not Heating
Gas Dryer - Gas Dryers are really big on airflow. Before calling a service company out to
service your gas dryer here are a few tips that may save you some money.
-
Check the lint screen (It seems simple, but yet I have seen several gas dryers where
the lint was caked up thick on the lint screen)
-
Check vent hose, The easiest way to do this is to turn your dryer on, go outside and put
your hand next to the exhaust vent line. Is the air blowing strong? Or can you barely
feel a thing. If the airflow is weak, try putting your hand in the vent line and cleaning out
any buildup that may be present. It may also be necessary to pull the gas dryer out
and disconnect the vent line to clean throughly.
-
If all else fails and you are still having trouble with your gas dryer heating please feel
free to contact us.
Electric Dryer - Electric dryers are also big on air flow so follow the same steps as gas dryers
listed above.
-
A common complaint with electric dryers is that they will turn but not heat. If your lucky
it is just a blown fuse at the breaker box. Electric dryers run on 220 volts of juice
instead of 110 volts which means Electric dryers have two breaker switches. One of the
breakers can flip causing a "no heat" problem. It still gets 110 volts letting the dryer
seem so run just fine but it needs that extra 110 juice for the heating element to work!

If that fails to be your problem you will need to contact GOFAR APPLIANCE as the
machine will need to be takin apart to find the problem.
