Describe the order of events, especially if sound, heat, water, cooling, movement, or display behavior changed together. If food, laundry, dishes, or ice are trapped by the failure, say that early so the call reflects the household impact. Stop use when the problem involves smoke, sparks, gas odor, active leaking near power, unusual heat, or repeated breaker trips. The goal is to give enough context for scheduling without turning the call into risky do-it-yourself diagnosis.
Have the brand, model number if accessible, age if known, and a short symptom timeline ready. Photos of display messages or leaks can help you describe the issue accurately.
Before the visit is discussed, write down whether overheating, shutoff, or burning smell, dryer takes too long, and won't start or tumble is constant or intermittent and whether the dryer is built-in, stacked, or difficult to access.
