A dryer that tumbles but produces no heat is one of the most common appliance problems we fix. The heating element, thermal fuse, or gas igniter has likely failed. Our technicians carry common dryer heating parts and often complete the repair during the same visit in Gainesville, Haymarket, and Bristow — so you're not hanging clothes to dry for long.
Electric dryers use a coil heating element that wears out over time. This is the most common cause of no-heat in electric dryers.
The thermal fuse is a safety device that trips when the dryer overheats, usually due to a clogged vent. Once blown, it must be replaced.
In gas dryers, a worn igniter or failed valve coils prevent the burner from lighting.
The cycling thermostat or high-limit thermostat may fail, disrupting the heat regulation cycle.
Try these before calling for service — they may resolve a simple issue.
Check if the dryer is on the right setting — some cycles (air fluff, delicate) use low or no heat
For electric dryers, make sure both breakers are on — a dryer uses two breakers, and if one trips, the drum turns but no heat
Check the lint trap and exhaust vent for blockage — a clogged vent is the #1 cause of dryer overheating and fuse failure
For gas dryers, make sure the gas supply valve behind the dryer is open
