How to tell if your dryer needs repairs

If your dryer isn’t running as well as it could be, you may have more than just an inconvenience on your hands. The heat involved in a drying cycle can create a fire hazard if some of the internal mechanisms aren’t working properly. And, of course, no one wants to go through the expense and time of completely replacing their dryer after a minor problem becomes unfixable.

Preventing those scenarios is as easy as paying regular attention to how your appliance runs and watching for these signs that indicate that your dryer might need some help:

If the lint trap is clear and your dryer is still producing a burning smell, call a repair service like National Appliance Service as soon as possible. There are many potential causes and you want to act fast to prevent any safety hazards.
