When customers reported “not heating or drying” on a dryer, AssistAnt technicians most often found: heating (element, igniter, fuse, thermostat) (58%), clogged vent / lint (17%) and motor (14%), across 36 diagnosed repairs since June 2026.
Finished on the first visit in 91% of the 32 repairs that recorded it; the rest needed a part ordered or a second trip.
These are repair reports, not a reliability ranking: we see more of the brands more people own, and many of these jobs came through home-warranty companies. Counts are what the technician found; one job can show more than one problem.
Pro only: this involves gas, 240-volt power or sealed refrigerant. Leave it to a licensed technician.
