Speed Queen Dryer Repair in Philadelphia

Knowing which Speed Queen dryer design you have is step one, and built to pair with the brand's washers, Speed Queen dryers come in gas and electric versions with commercial-style drums.

More often than not, the trouble with a Speed Queen dryer is drive belt, drum roller, gas igniter, or heating element. Symptoms that bring us out include not heating, thumping or squealing, and slow to dry. When loads suddenly take far longer to dry, clear lint from the trap housing and from the vent running outdoors. A burning smell usually means lint has built up around the heater or in the duct, and the dryer should stay off until it is cleaned.

With commercial-style drums and straightforward controls, Speed Queen dryers mostly wear through belts, drum rollers and gas igniters. Slow drying is usually lint packed into the trap housing or the vent. On a chassis this durable, a repair is normally worth it.

In a damp basement, lint clings to the inside of the duct more readily, so a dryer vent run down there needs cleaning more often than the manual suggests. We check exhaust airflow and temperature before replacing anything, since a blocked vent can make a healthy dryer look broken.

Poor heat from a Speed Queen dryer typically comes down to a clogged vent or a heating element that is wearing out. A fix for the gas igniter is priced in writing beforehand and warranted afterward: 90 days on parts, 30 on labor.

Use rigid or semi-rigid metal duct, keep the run short, and do not crush it behind the machine. We see drum will not turn on Speed Queen dryers in rowhouses, twins and high-rises across the city.
