A repair decision should follow evidence: symptom history, appliance response, safe access, test results, and the condition of the relevant components. The main symptom groups on this page include overheating, shutoff, or burning smell, dryer not heating, and loud or rough operation. Testing helps confirm which system is actually responsible before parts are replaced.
