Overheating & Clogged Vents
"Dryers in Pointe-aux-Trembles that spin but don't heat often have a tripped thermal safety. This is almost always caused by restricted airflow in the wall duct."
What's Actually Wrong With It?
Dryer problems I see in Pointe-aux-Trembles — and how I fix them
Select your dryer issue below, and I'll tell you what I usually see when I open these up in Pointe-aux-Trembles.
Dryer no heat — what usually causes it?
A safety fuse blew because your wall vent is choked with lint. I test the heater coil. I'll replace the blown fuse, but I will also test your exhaust airflow to make sure it doesn't blow again.
Failed Component: Heating Element / Fuse
Dryer loud squeaking — what usually causes it?
The drum support rollers have flattened out, causing metal-on-metal friction. I do a total mechanical teardown. I swap the rollers, idler pulley, and belt all at once so it runs like new.
Failed Component: Rotational Matrix
Dryer takes too long — what usually causes it?
Massive lint blockage inside the blower wheel housing or wall duct. I measure the CFM airflow. I'll physically extract the lint blocks inside the machine and test the element cycling.
Failed Component: Airflow Exhaust
Dryer motor hums won't turn — what usually causes it?
The heavy-duty belt that turns the drum finally snapped. I open the top, thread a new multi-ribbed OEM belt around the drum, and lock it into the motor tensioner.
Failed Component: Drive Belt
Dryer won't start — what usually causes it?
A blown main thermal fuse, or a broken door switch plunger. I check the door switch with a meter. If it's fine, I trace the motor circuit to find the blown safety fuse.
Failed Component: Thermal Fuse / Switch
Dryer overheating — what usually causes it?
The thermostat fused shut, or the heating element grounded itself to the metal casing. I check if the element stays on when the machine is off. If so, it's grounded and I replace the entire heater box immediately.
Failed Component: Cycling Thermostat
Dryer stops abruptly — what usually causes it?
The motor bearings are failing, causing it to overheat and trip the internal thermal switch. If it starts again after cooling down for 30 minutes, the motor is dying. I swap the complete 120V drive motor.
Failed Component: Drive Motor
Dryer burning smell — what usually causes it?
Lint has bypassed the trap and is sitting directly on the 240V heating coils. This is a fire hazard. I pull the heater box, clear all scorched debris, and check the wall plug for melted wires.
Failed Component: Lint Combustion
Dryer door pops open — what usually causes it?
The tiny plastic door strike has worn down from years of tumbling clothes hitting it. I pry out the old clips and snap in new, high-tension OEM catches so the door stays firmly shut.
Failed Component: Door Catch
Dryer noisy thumping — what usually causes it?
The felt or Teflon pads holding up the front of the drum have worn completely away. I lift the drum out and rivet or glue new glide pads onto the front bulkhead to stop the scraping.
Failed Component: Drum Glides

Try This Before You Call Me
I don't want to come out for a 5-minute fix you can do yourself. Check these first:

- Controls Make sure the "Child Lock" button wasn't accidentally held down.
- Dryer Vent Go outside and make sure the vent flap isn't choked with lint.
