My Dryer Won’t Turn On?

Technician examining and repairing tumble dryer with customer.

 

There are several possible reasons why a gas or electric clothes dryer turns off not to do so, but it could be a simple problem such as a triggered circuit breaker, a faulty switch or a faulty lock. If your dryer does not start or makes a click noise it may be a fault with the door switch, the start switch or the thermal fuse. The next most likely reason he won’t start is a faulty belt or a poor thermal fuse.

If your dryer is not running, it may be because of the thermal fuse which is a heat-sensitive fuse that interrupts the current flow that drives the engine when the machine becomes too hot, collapses, fails, or fails due to high heat. You need to find out if the dryer is overheating or if the fuse has blown. If the fuse has blown out and is too close to overheating to blow, it is recommended to check the channels of the dryer and, if necessary, to clean them.

If it turns out that the ventilation of the dryer is blocked, this is the time for the technician to test the thermal fuse to see if it has disappeared. If a gas dryer is running but not heating itself, the fuse may have blown, the dryer may overheat or the ventilation shaft may be clogged (check the ventilation path).

The first problem to check that the dryer is not starting is that the power cord or plug is still connected and shows no signs of serious damage. If you have a gas or electric dryer, it should be connected to an electrical outlet and the breaker that controls the electrical outlet should be triggered. If your dryer has a defective door switch, you can tell that it is defective because the lamp on the drum does not turn on and the machine does not perform a drying cycle.

To determine if there is a problem, remove the drying belt and turn on the drum by hand. If a dryer starts up but its drum does not turn on, the drum bearings or the drying belt may wear out.

If the dryer’s motor runs but the dryer drum does not turn, the drive belt may be broken. Other dryers have built-in switches to keep the motor running when the belt is damaged or broken. If the dryer is humming, but the drum is still not turning, the drive motor may have to be replaced.

Plugging in a circuit breaker is fine, but check the door switch of the dryer. If the door switch is mounted on the dryer housing, you should be able to access the door with the dryer hood. When you close the drying door, the plastic clips click so that the switch can start the machine.
