when your dryer suddenly stops working, it can throw your whole day off. Whether your clothes are still soaking wet after a cycle or your dryer just won’t turn on, we get it—it’s frustrating. At Bright Fixing, we deal with dryer issues daily across Dubai. Here are some of the most common problems we see, and how we usually fix them:
The Dryer Isn’t Heating Up
What’s going on? You run a full cycle, but your clothes come out cold or still damp.
What we do: We usually check the heating element first—it might be burned out. If not, it could be the thermal fuse or the thermostat. We test all of those and replace whatever’s not doing its job.
It’s Taking Forever to Dry Clothes
What’s going on? One cycle just isn’t enough. You’re running it twice—or more!
What we do: This often means your vents are clogged or the moisture sensor is acting up. We clear out any blockages and swap out bad sensors to get things drying fast again.
The Dryer Won’t Turn On
What’s going on? You pressed the button and nothing worked.
What we do: We’ll start by checking your power supply, then take a look at the start switch, the door latch, and the thermal fuse. A small issue like a faulty switch can be all it takes to keep your dryer silent.
The Drum Isn’t Spinning
What’s going on? You hear the motor running, but the drum isn’t moving.
What we do: That usually points to a broken drive belt. We’ll check that, along with the motor and rollers, and replace anything worn or broken.
The Dryer Is Noisy
What’s going on? It sounds like your dryer is about to take off.
What we do: Squeaks, bangs, or rattles usually mean worn bearings, rollers, or a loose blower wheel. We’ll find the noise source and fix it.
It Keeps Stopping Mid-Cycle
What’s going on? It starts… but doesn’t finish.
What we do: Overheating is often the issue here. We’ll clean out your vents and test the thermostats and motor to keep things running smoothly.
There’s a Burning Smell
What’s going on? That hot, burning smell is never a good sign.
What we do: We’ll check for lint buildup inside the machine and inspect all wiring and heating parts to make sure nothing’s burning or at risk of causing a fire.
The Door Won’t Latch Properly
What’s going on? The door pops open or won’t stay shut.
What we do: A simple fix—usually replacing the door latch or aligning the hinges.
Clothes Come Out Too Hot or Wrinkled
What’s going on? Clothes feel like they just came out of the oven—or they’re a wrinkled mess.
What we do: We check your heat settings, the thermostat, and the cycle length. Sometimes, it’s just a matter of adjusting how full the drum is.
Weird Error Codes on the Screen
What’s going on? Your dryer flashes some error code you’ve never seen before.
What we do: We decode the message, figure out what part it’s pointing to (like a sensor or control board), and fix or replace it.
