What matters first
Heat, Tumble and Airflow Are Three Separate Clues
A dryer can tumble without heating, heat without drying properly, stop before the cycle finishes or make a new mechanical noise. Describe heat, drum movement and drying time separately. For a gas dryer, identify the fuel type and treat any suspected gas odour as an emergency rather than a routine repair request.
Describe the Drying Pattern
Useful details include whether the drum turns, whether clothing becomes warm, whether cycles take longer than before and whether the machine shuts off early. A vent warning or lint-related symptom should be included rather than assumed to be an internal dryer fault.
- Drum will not turn
- No heat or inconsistent heat
- Clothes stay damp after a full cycle
- Dryer stops before completion
- New squeal, thump or scraping sound
- Vent or airflow warning appears
Stacked and Closet Installations Need Access Detail
Laundry closets, stacked units and finished basement installations can limit service access. Include a photo showing the whole dryer and the surrounding space, especially when the unit cannot be reached from both sides.
Gas Dryer Safety Comes Before Diagnosis
Do not attempt to inspect or adjust gas connections. If you smell natural gas, leave the area and call 911 or Enbridge Gas at 1-866-763-5427 from a safe distance.
Why does the dryer run but clothing stays damp?
Include whether the load gets warm, whether airflow seems weaker than normal and whether a vent warning appears. Those details help separate heat, airflow and cycle-control symptoms.
Can I request service for a stacked dryer?
Yes. Mention that the unit is stacked and include the surrounding closet or alcove in a photo so access can be reviewed.
What should I do if I smell gas near a gas dryer?
Leave the area immediately and contact 911 or Enbridge Gas at 1-866-763-5427 from a safe distance. Do not use the website to troubleshoot an active gas-leak concern.
Gas-powered appliance?

Should I keep using a dryer with a burning smell?
Stop using the appliance and disconnect power if it is safe to do so. A burning smell or repeated breaker trip should be assessed before further use.
