Addison dryers that run too hot
A dryer that scorches clothes or feels hot on the outside has a heat control fault. The cycling thermostat turns the element on and off to hold a steady temperature. When it sticks closed, the heat never shuts off. The high limit thermostat is the backup and should cut the heat, but it can fail too. A shorted element can also keep heating with the dryer off. Our tech meters each thermostat and checks the element for a short to the cabinet.
Addison repairs done safely
An overheating dryer is a fire risk, so we test the heat controls before anything else. Thermostats are cheap and quick to swap. If the element has shorted, we replace it with the thermostats as a set. A cabinet with heat damage inside may mean a new dryer is safer. Every Addison thermostat job is priced before we begin, and we can often get there the same day.
Electric dryers on Addison's 1970s three-prong outlets
An Addison laundry room from the 1960s to 1980s came with a three-prong dryer outlet. Dryers sold today ship with a four-prong cord, or with none at all. So the cord has been changed on many dryers in town. When that job was done wrong, the dryer runs but never heats, or the cabinet gives a small shock. We check the cord and outlet first on any no-heat call.
If the cord is fine, the fault is inside. A burned element or a blown fuse on an electric dryer is a quick swap. Gas dryers have their own parts, and we fix those too. Our repair warranty covers the work. Call (312) 600-6540 for a same-day visit.
