Dryer Repair Las Cruces explains some common problems with your appliances.
Common dryer problems can be avoided with routine maintenance and repair from an appliance repair specialist. There are common problems that many people experience with their dryer. However, don’t fret; the professionals at SoBellas Home Services Las Cruces are there for all of your dryer repair needs.
If the dryer doesn’t turn on, check to make sure that it is plugged in to an outlet that can carry 240 volts. Electric dryers need outlets specifically designed to provide enough power to run the appliance. Gas dryers will use a standard 120 volt outlet but still need to be plugged in to work. Make sure the cord is not damaged in any way, do not plug in the appliance.
If you dryer turns on but the drum does not rotate, it is more than likely that the belt that drives the system is broken or damaged. A worn or damaged belt may be responsible for a thumping or banging noise while the dryer runs. If the drum turns with little effort, it is probable that the belt is broken. You can try to replace the belt yourself at home, but if you do not feel comfortable with taking apart the dryer yourself, you can contact the professionals at So Bellas Appliance Repair and they can change the belt for you.
The most common problem that people experience is that the clothes in the dryer do not dry adequately or take an extremely long time to do so. The vents on the dryer may be the culprit. Dryers need proper venting in order to function adequately. You can check the lint filters and clean them if needed. It is also important to check the vent hose to see if it is clogged at least once every three to six months. Clean up any lint around the unit itself and around the outlet where the appliance vents outside.
What type of dryer to consumers love?
Did you know that a new type of clothes dryer entered the consumer market not so very long ago? It’s true and people are slowly starting to warm up to them, pardon the pun. Just last year, standard clothes dryers were using electric or gas-powered heating systems that generated hot air. As our dryer repair team in Las Cruces can attest, many of the consumer models were effective at their jobs but they were not always efficient.
The new ones rely on hybrid heat pumps. The hybrid heat pumps are really something unique. They generally tend to produce hot steam and rely on the principles of refrigeration. We know, it sounds odd to hear that some clothes dryers share characteristics with refrigerators. However, we can all be thankful that an increasing number of them do.
One of the companies leading the charge is Whirlpool®. They were one of the first companies to release an award-winning, hybrid dryer. Not only is it tremendously effective and efficient at its job, the new dryer is ventless too. As such, that means homeowners who give the new technology a try may see a reduction in ductwork cleaning, lint fire risk and construction costs as well.
Our dryer repair team is very excited about the emerging technology and they’re ready to provide service when needed. Our home appliance services currently include hybrid dryer installation, maintenance and repair services. Understandably, installing hybrid dryers is different from putting a standard one on place. The same goes for servicing them. Consumers will find that hybrids often have installation requirements similar to that of clothes washers. For example, there is generally a drain system, outlet hose, electrical requirements and leveling process that must be dealt with. To learn more about them and hybrid laundry appliances in general, please contact the SoBellas Home Services dryer repair Las Cruces team today.
