Trusted Dryer Repair in Norridge, IL
Dryer humming but not turning, or doing nothing at all? We repair dryers in Norridge, IL, from belts and switches to motors. We test the drive parts and the heat and quote first. Norridge basements are a short trip from 6am to 9pm, and the work carries our warranty.
The belt switch in Norridge dryers
Many Whirlpool, Maytag and Kenmore dryers have a small switch tied to the idler pulley. If the belt breaks, the pulley drops and the switch cuts power to the motor. The dryer then hums or does nothing at all. The switch itself can also fail and stop a dryer with a good belt. We look at the belt, the pulley and the switch together before deciding which part failed.
Norridge belt and motor repairs
A belt or switch is a low cost repair that takes little time. Rollers get checked with the drum out, because a worn one can snap a fresh belt. If the motor has seized, the job costs more, and we explain it. Norridge owners approve the figure before a belt goes on, and the $79 diagnosis is not added to that repair.
Dryer vents in Norridge's 1950s basements
In Norridge the dryer usually sits in the basement. Its vent runs up the wall and out through the brick. That run has been in place since the 1950s. Lint packs into it over time. Airflow drops, clothes take two cycles, and the dryer runs hot. Then the thermal fuse trips and the heat quits. The fuse is a safety part that shuts the heat off. We test the fuse, the heating element and the airflow. When the dryer is loud, we check the rollers and the belt. Gas and electric models are both fine. One set price before we start.
