    Dryer Repairs

    Get Back to Warm, Dry Clothes Without the Wait

    A faulty dryer can leave damp washing hanging throughout your home and make it harder to keep up with everyday laundry. Whether the dryer has stopped heating, the drum will not turn, or each load takes several cycles to dry, a professional diagnosis can identify what is causing the problem.

    Back In Action Appliance Repairs provides specialised dryer repairs in Melbourne for vented, condenser, and heat pump models. We diagnose faults affecting heating elements, thermal fuses, drive belts, rollers, sensors, motors, door switches, thermostats, and other essential components.

    We also check the lint path and airflow because restricted ventilation can make a dryer work harder and contribute to overheating. Once we find the fault, we explain it in plain English and provide a fixed-price quote before approved work begins.

    Common Faults

    Dryer Problems We Diagnose and Repair

    Dryer Not Heating

    A dryer that tumbles without producing heat may have a failed heating element, blown thermal fuse, faulty thermostat, sensor problem, or heat pump system fault.

    We test the relevant components to determine why the dryer is not heating properly. After identifying the problem, we explain the required repair and provide a fixed-price quote.

    Dryer Drum Not Turning

    If the motor can be heard but the drum remains still, the dryer may have a snapped drive belt, worn idler pulley, failed motor, or problem with the drum support system.

    We inspect the drive components and determine what is preventing the drum from turning. Avoid repeatedly starting the dryer, as continued operation may place additional strain on other components.

    Dryer Taking Too Long to Dry Clothes

    Long drying times may be caused by a blocked lint filter, restricted ducting, full condenser unit, damaged heating element, faulty moisture sensor, or airflow problem.

    We assess the heating performance and airflow to find the underlying cause. Restoring efficient operation may help shorten drying times and reduce unnecessary strain on the appliance.

    Dryer Making Squealing or Thumping Noises

    Squealing, scraping, or thumping sounds may indicate worn drum rollers, bearings, glides, belts, or other moving components.

    The type of sound and when it occurs can provide useful information about the fault. Tell us whether the noise happens continuously or only when the drum starts or changes direction.

    Dryer Not Turning On

    A dryer that does not start may have a faulty door switch, start switch, timer, control board, power connection, thermal fuse, or internal electrical problem.

    We carry out diagnostic testing to identify the component affecting the dryer. If the appliance displays an error code, include the complete code when booking.

    Dryer Overheating or Producing a Burning Smell

    Overheating can be caused by lint build-up, restricted airflow, a failed cycling thermostat, or another internal fault. A burning smell may indicate that a component is overheating or starting to fail.

    Stop using the dryer if it produces smoke, excessive heat, or a burning smell. Switch it off and disconnect it from the power supply if it is safe to do so, then arrange a professional assessment before using it again.

    Repair or Replace?

    Is Your Dryer Worth Repairing?

    Many common dryer problems can be resolved by replacing individual components rather than the entire appliance. Drive belts, heating elements, thermal fuses, thermostats, sensors, and drum rollers are among the parts that may cause an otherwise reliable dryer to stop working correctly.

    The best choice depends on the dryer's age, type, condition, original quality, diagnosed fault, and required repair cost. Heat pump dryers can be particularly expensive to replace, which means repairing a suitable model may offer better value.

    After inspecting the dryer, we will explain what has failed and provide an honest recommendation. You can then compare the repair cost with the dryer's condition and replacement value before deciding how to proceed.

    Call 0406 992 580
    What types of clothes dryers do you repair?

    We repair vented, condenser, and heat pump clothes dryers from many major brands sold in Australia. We diagnose faults affecting heating, tumbling, airflow, starting, sensors, controls, and drying performance.

    Tell us which type of dryer you have when making an enquiry. If you are unsure, provide the brand and model number so we can identify the appliance before your appointment.

    Which areas do you cover for dryer repairs in Melbourne?

    We provide in-home dryer repairs across selected suburbs throughout metropolitan Melbourne. Service availability depends on your suburb and our current appointment schedule.

    Enter your location when completing the online booking form or provide it when calling us. We will confirm whether your address is within our service area and discuss the next suitable appointment.

    Do you repair heat pump dryers?

    Yes. We diagnose and repair faults affecting heat pump dryers, including models with problems involving heating, sensors, airflow, drainage, controls, and drying performance.

    Heat pump dryers operate differently from traditional vented models, so an accurate diagnosis is important. Provide the brand, model number, and any error codes when booking to help us prepare for the appointment.

    Why is my dryer running but not heating?

    A dryer may continue tumbling without producing heat when the heating element, thermal fuse, thermostat, sensor, or another related component has failed. Heat pump dryers may experience additional faults within their heating and circulation systems.

    The exact cause cannot always be identified from the symptom alone. We test the relevant components and provide a repair recommendation based on the diagnosed fault.

    Why is my dryer taking two cycles to dry clothes?

    Extended drying times may be caused by a blocked lint filter, restricted ventilation, a full condenser, a failed heating component, an overloaded drum, or a faulty moisture sensor.

    Make sure the lint filter is clean and that the dryer is not overloaded. If drying continues to take longer than usual, arrange an assessment to determine whether an airflow or component fault requires attention.

    What should I do if my dryer smells like it is burning?

    Stop using the dryer if you notice a burning smell, smoke, or excessive heat. Switch it off and disconnect it from the power supply if it is safe to do so, then allow the appliance to cool.

    Do not start another cycle to see whether the smell disappears. Burning odours can be associated with lint build-up, restricted airflow, overheating components, damaged wiring, or another developing fault that should be professionally assessed.

    Can you repair a wall-mounted or stacked dryer?

    Yes. We can assess wall-mounted and stacked dryers, provided the appliance can be accessed and worked on safely.

    Tell us how the dryer is installed when booking your appointment. This helps us understand the access requirements and prepare any equipment that may be needed to inspect the appliance properly.

    Can you complete the dryer repair during the first visit?

    We aim to complete approved repairs during the first visit whenever the fault, access, safety requirements, and parts availability allow. Our technician carries commonly required dryer components in the service vehicle.

    Some dryers require model-specific parts that may need to be ordered. If a return visit is necessary, we will explain what is required and discuss the next suitable appointment.

    How much does a dryer repair cost?

    The cost depends on the dryer type, diagnosed fault, replacement parts, model, and work involved. A reliable fixed price cannot always be provided until the appliance has been inspected and tested.

    After diagnosing the fault, we explain the recommended work and provide a fixed-price quote. No repair begins until you understand the recommendation and approve the price.

    What information should I provide when choosing a dryer repair service?

    Provide the dryer type, brand, model number, approximate age, installation method, and a detailed description of the problem. Mention whether the dryer is not heating, not tumbling, taking too long, making noises, overheating, or displaying an error code.

    You should also provide your suburb and explain when the problem first appeared. Complete information helps us understand your enquiry, prepare for the appointment, and confirm whether we can assist with your dryer.
