In older West Philadelphia rowhouses the dryer usually vents out a basement window or the rear wall, often through a run with tight bends. Lint packed into that duct causes most slow-drying complaints, so we check the vent along with the dryer.
Older twins and rowhouses often have the laundry in a basement with a low ceiling, so let us know if the stair or doorway is tight.

Symptoms and likely causes
Runs but no heat: on electric models, a failed element, thermal fuse or high-limit thermostat; on gas, a bad igniter, flame sensor or valve coils. A tripped breaker half is worth ruling out on electric units.
Takes too long to dry: restricted venting first, then a weak element or a thermostat cycling too early. A vent hood flap that does not open when the dryer is running is a reliable clue.
Will not start: a door switch, start switch, thermal fuse or drive motor. A broken belt often lets the motor run with the drum not turning, and many dryers include a belt switch that stops the motor entirely.
Thumping, squealing or scraping: worn drum rollers, a frayed belt, a dry idler pulley, or worn drum glides along the front. These parts wear predictably and are routine replacements.
Too hot or a burning smell: stop using the dryer. A blocked vent or a stuck-closed cycling thermostat can drive temperatures up quickly.
