DIY Clothes Dry Troubleshooting and Removal Guide for Salinas Residents and Beyond

Clothes dryer removal is a bittersweet time. On the one hand, you’re getting a new upgrade. On the other hand, it’s a pain to find the right replacement. And, of course, having to deal with household appliance disposal. For most units, clothes dryers last about 10 to 15 years. So, if you’re experiencing problems, it might just be a simple component failure. However, there are lemons and it’s entirely possible that if your dryer isn’t performing, it’s just at the end of its lifespan.

The average lifespan of a clothes dryer runs between 10 and 13 years, according to Consumer Reports. (There is some discrepancy between electric-powered and gas-powered models of about a year.) But, a machine doesn’t necessary perform for this period of time. A clothes dryer might only last 5 to 7 years. After all, there’s no guarantee and of course, this depends heavily on use.

When it’s time to update your washer and dryer, don’t just discard the old ones. Depending on where you live and what condition your appliances are in, you might have a variety of ways to make sure your machines go to a good cause, or at least don’t do the environment any damage. You might even be able to get a rebate on your new appliances. --San Francisco Chronicle

Some machines last nearly two decades or just over before appliance removal is necessary. But, here again, it depends on the make, model, and use. (As well as any exposure to the outside elements as many of these appliances are placed in non-climate controlled spaces, like garages. So, there are even more variables which ultimately impact performance and life span.

DIY Clothes Dry Troubleshooting Guide for Salinas Residents

Now, if you do experience one or more problems with your appliance, there are usually a few possibilities to explore and eliminate. So, let’s take a quick look at how to go about clothes dryer troubleshooting and what you can learn:

• No power. If the dryer won’t turn on, check the circuit breaker to see if it’s tripped to the neutral position. Should the breaker still be in the “On” position, check the power cord to ensure it’s plugged in. Lastly, check the door switch — this is one of the most common reasons a clothes dryer won’t start.
• Strange noises. Strange noises are often a telltale sign that something is awry. However, most have a simple explanation. First, check the levelness of the machine. If it’s off, that’s probably the reason. But, if it isn’t, the problem lies elsewhere.
• Clothes don’t dry. When clothes aren’t dry at the end of a normal cycle, it’s generally due to a dirty lint filter and/or a blocked vent. Check and clean both, then try to dry the clothes again.
