Reliable Dryer Repair in Hoffman Estates, IL
Dryer quitting mid-load, or a hot plastic smell from the back? We repair dryers in Hoffman Estates, IL, from terminal blocks to heating elements. We open the back panel, check the power joint, test the heat and quote first. Same-day help in Hoffman Estates is often there, and a warranty covers the new block and cord.
Burned terminal blocks in Hoffman Estates dryers
Inside the dryer, the power cord bolts to a small terminal block on the back. If those screws were never tightened well, the joint heats under load. Over time the block scorches, the plastic cracks, and one wire may burn through. You might smell hot plastic or see the dryer quit mid-load. Our tech removes the rear cover, checks the block and the wire ends, and looks for heat damage on the cord.
Repairing the power side in Hoffman Estates
A scorched block and cord are replaced together, with each screw tightened firmly. Then we check the heating parts, since lost power can look like a bad element. If heat damage spread to the wiring inside, we let you know what that means for the dryer. The cost is shared first, and in Hoffman Estates the $79 diagnosis goes away with any repair you approve.
Electric dryers on Hoffman Estates' 1960s wiring
A house in the 1960s subdivisions may still have its first dryer outlet. That outlet feeds 240 volts to the dryer. Over the years the plug and the outlet can burn and loosen. A dryer that runs but will not heat may have lost one leg of that power. The dryer looks fine, but the heat never comes on. We check the outlet with a meter before we blame the dryer. If the cord or plug is burnt, we replace it. If the outlet is bad, we tell you what the wiring needs. Gas dryers have their own list, and we fix those too. Call (312) 600-6540 to set a time.
