We all know that nothing lasts forever, but don’t you wish that our home appliances did? When your dryer vent system begins to show signs of quitting on you, it may be time to purchase a new dryer to avoid dealing with the hassle of repairing your dryer system—but should you?
How do you know that your dryer is ready to be replaced? Often, it can be hard to determine if it will be worth the money to fix your dryer or if it is better to replace it with the new one.
There are many points you need to consider. If you can make an easy dryer repair for a negligible cost, that's probably your best bet. Most dryer vent systems are going to last around 10-15 years. That's only if you take care of it properly and keep up with recommended maintenance. Letting minor dryer problems go and not fixing them on time will come back to haunt you later.
Common Dryer Problems
There are different reasons your dryer may be in need of repairs. Some main causes of dryer malfunctioning include: a bad fuse, a heating element going out, bad belt, heating coils are bad, the roller is bad, a motor malfunctioning, clogged vents, terminal blockage, and the start switch is not in working condition.
When your dryer system isn't drying your clothes within the set time for the load, there might be an issue. There are a few ways you can find the issue to try to determine the main cause. Look at the air vents while the dryer is running. If you can't feel air blowing out of the vent, you likely have a clogged vent — which is quite risky as it could cause a fire. Clogged vents prevent your dryer system from venting the steam from drying clothes, leaving you with still-damp clothes when the drying cycle finishes.
By making your dryer system work longer to dry your clothes, this dryer problem will lead to high energy costs, mechanical problems and expensive breakdowns. You can clean out the clogged vent on your own without the need of a professional help.
