Another successful dryer repair and maintenance service completed for a loyal customer in SE Portland!
The customer called us because their Amana dryer was no longer heating properly. After diagnosing the issue, our technician found a failed heating element and replaced it to restore proper drying performance.
While servicing the unit, we also performed our recommended dryer maintenance service, which included:
âś… Lubricating drum rollers, drum supports, and the belt tensioner/idler pulley
âś… Vacuuming out lint buildup inside the dryer cabinet
âś… Cleaning accumulated lint from the lint trap area
Check out these before-and-after photos! The amount of lint buildup inside this dryer was substantial—a very common problem that many homeowners never see because it's hidden inside the machine.
Excess lint can restrict airflow, reduce efficiency, increase drying times, cause heating issues, and even become a potential fire hazard. Routine maintenance helps keep your dryer running safely and efficiently while extending the life of key components.
If your dryer isn't heating, is taking longer than normal to dry clothes, or hasn't been professionally cleaned in years, it may be time for a service call.
Thank you to our loyal customer for trusting us with another appliance repair and maintenance visit!
