3 Things to check if your clothes dryer isn't working

3 Things to check if your clothes dryer isn't working

1. This may seem obvious, but first start by double checking that the dryer is plugged in and that the circuit breaker hasn't been tripped. The breaker should be marked "DRYER" in your home service panel. Shut the dual breaker off completely, then back on again. If the dryer still doesn't turn on, give us a call! 2. If the dryer turns on but doesn't dry your clothes, double check that the internal lint trap is clean and that there are no small items of clothing blocking the lint trap. 3. Next check if there is a kink or blockage of the dryer duct. You may need to remove the dryer duct to clean out any blockage or debris. Finally go outside and check if hot air is coming out of the external dryer vent and the critter flap is opening completely. If there is no hot air coming out of the dryer vent, give us a call!
