Overheating & Clogged Vents
"Dryers in Villeray 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?
KitchenAid Dryer problems I see in Villeray — 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 Villeray.
KitchenAid 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
KitchenAid 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
KitchenAid 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
KitchenAid 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
KitchenAid 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
KitchenAid 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
KitchenAid 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
KitchenAid 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
KitchenAid 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
KitchenAid 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

I Know These Brands Inside and Out
After many years, you learn the quirks of every manufacturer. I stock the truck based on what breaks the most.
Whirlpool, Maytag & KitchenAid
These are all built by the Whirlpool Corporation and share parts. If your Maytag washer won't spin, I usually know right away to check the shift actuator or the motor coupling. They are solid machines and parts are always easy to find locally here in Montreal.
Should I Fix It Or Toss It?
My honest advice on the lifespan of your Dryer. Expand below.
Washers & Dryers
✓ Fix It: Clogged drain pumps, snapped dryer belts, burnt thermal fuses, or bad door latches. These are simple, fast, same-day fixes.
✕ Replace It: If a front-load washer sounds like a jet engine on spin cycle and it's over 8 years old, the rear tub bearing is shattered.
