Dryer Overheating in Calgary

A dryer that becomes unusually hot or overheats should stay out of use. Changing the cycle may not remove the cause.

What details help identify the problem?

Tell us whether drying times increased, a warning appeared or the exhaust route recently changed. Identify whether the model is vented or ventless.

What can I check safely?

Follow only the manual's user cleaning steps. Do not bypass a safety device or run the dryer with its exhaust disconnected indoors.

What we confirm before the repair

We check the model's heat control and airflow, including the exhaust route where fitted. The repair needs to address why it overheated.

What became unusually hot?

Report whether the concern was the cabinet, clothing or an overheating warning, and whether the dryer stopped itself. Include the vent route if known and any recent vent work. Stop using a dryer that overheats; repeated resets can hide the original symptom without resolving it.

How do I request a diagnosis?

Send the full model number, the symptom and any displayed code when you request a visit. The $49 service call is applied toward the repair; confirm the full quote before authorizing work. See the repair cost guide for questions to ask.
