Common Dryer Problems We Fix in Van Nuys

• Gas dryer won’t ignite — faulty igniters, gas valve coil failures, or pilot assembly problems in older Van Nuys gas dryers.
• Electric dryer blows fuses — a grounded heating element or wiring short that trips the breaker or blows the house fuse.
• Dryer drum wobbles — worn bearings, broken drum slides, or a warped drum that creates an uneven spin.
• Clothes have a burnt smell — restricted venting causing overheating, or lint igniting near the heating chamber.
