My Kenmore, electric dryer, purchased in about 2005, does not heat. We have checked the outlets, the fuses, and the lint traps and still nothing. I have two teenage athletes in my house and need my dryer to work.

Before you attempt any dryer repairs, make sure that the appliance has been disconnected from the power source. Most common dryer repair problems involve a dryer that refuses to turn on, lack of heat, lack of tumbling, slow drying, over heating, too much noise etc. There are some basic dryer repair steps you can take to get your dryer working before a professional repair service shows up. In case of a dryer that refuses to turn on at all, first determine if there is enough power. See if the dryer is plugged in properly, and if it is, check if the fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped. Another reason could be a defective door switch. You can find the switch near the door frame. Try getting the switch to work by opening the front or top of the dryer, and if this doesn't work, get the switch replaced. If there is a lack of heat in the dryer, check if the fuse or circuit breaker has blown. If you have a gas dryer, basic gas dryer repairs will involve checking to see if the gas supply is turned on. Check both the gas valve located behind the dryer, as well as the main gas connection. If your gas dryer has an electronic ignition, you may have an ignition problem that must be fixed by a gas dryer repair man. If you have an older dryer, check to see if the pilot light is burning, and light it again, if it is not.
If your dryer makes a lot of noise, but there is no tumbling movement, check the interior of the drum for any objects that have become loose. The noise could also occur because of any dryer parts that have become loose or defective components like a drum belt, motor bearings and support roller. In case of defective parts, it's best to rely on a professional dryer repair service. In case of a dryer that is too slow make sure that there is no obstruction in the vent duct that leads from the dryer to outside. The duct must be kept clean, and the dryer must never be placed too close to the valve. Slow heating can also occur because of a heating element that is partially burnt. Call a dryer repair service to replace the burnt element.
Common washing machine problems involve a machine that doesn't run. In such cases, check the power supply to the unit. In case the motor stops in the middle of the cycle, remove some of the items of clothing from the machine to reduce the load. If the power receptacle is dead, look for a fuse or circuit breaker that's blown. Check the power cord, and replace if necessary. If none of these seem to help, you may have a problem with a washing machine control. Call a professional washer repair service to fix the problem.
