So your dryer is not working? There can be many reasons behind it. However, the good news is that you don’t have to go to the technician to fix it. If the problem is minor, you will be able to do the troubleshooting yourself. In this article we will talk about top 5 reasons why your dryer is not heating.

1. Blocked venting

This is one of the primary reasons why your dryer is not working. To check if your venting is blocked you need to start your dryer at a very high speed and high temperature. Go to the front part of the dryer and use your hand to find out if the air is hot enough. If the air is not very hot or if the flow of air is limited, you need to get your dryer checked by a technician.

2. No electricity supply

You need to check your electricity supply as well. Many a times the problem lies with the plug. You need to connect some other device to the plug and check if it is working properly. If your plug is defected you don’t need to work on your dryer, instead on your plug. However, fixing the plug is not a difficult task and it can done by you. You just need to check all the lines and wires if they are correct and working.

3. Uneven loads

You need to take care of the type of load you are drying. If you are drying both high and low loads that can cause problem sometimes. You should dry similar items together. This will increase the life of your dryer. Uneven loads can cause heating. It can also shut down the system.

4. Washer leaves clothes wet

Sometimes the issue is with the washer. Maybe your washer leaves the clothes too wet. You may be thinking that the problem lies with the dryer whereas it is the washer who is the main culprit. If the washer leaves clothes wet, the dryer will obviously take more time to dry them.

5. Clogged lint screen

A clogged lint screen will prevent proper air flow and that can be a reason behind dryer not heating. You need to clean off the excess lint from the screen. You should regularly soak the lint in hot water or dish soap. You can also use a soft brush to keep the screen clean.

To sum up

These might be the reasons you dryer might not get heat. As you understand, these issues are not very grave and can be repaired at home. However, if the issue is not summarized in this list then you may have to take the help of a technician. Remember that a dryer is an electric gadget and you always run a risk if you are not very acquainted with its working. The bottom line is that if you keep your dryer neat and clean it will increase its life manifold.
