When the Washer Is the Problem
- Water on the floor under or in front of the washer
- Water left in the drum after the cycle

Signs the Dryer Needs a Technician
- Dryer runs but clothes stay damp or cold
- Burning smell when the dryer runs
- Thumping, squealing or scraping while tumbling
What a Technician Checks on the Washer
The Dryer Side of the Call
Keep the Dryer Vent Clear
Clothes that are still damp after a normal cycle, longer-than-usual drying times, or little exhaust air coming out of the outside vent while the dryer runs can all point to a blocked lint screen or exhaust duct.

Swap plastic or foil accordion-style dryer ducts for rigid or corrugated semi-rigid metal duct, since flexible plastic and foil trap lint and crush or kink more easily. Source: U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission - Overheated Clothes Dryers Can Cause Fires
