Dryers are essential for making large laundry loads easy to dry and return to our closets. If your dryer malfunctions or doesn’t perform as well as you would like, call Landers Appliance. We can help you find the reliable, large-load dryer you need for your household, or we can service a malfunctioning aspect of your otherwise beloved appliance.
Dryer Configurations
Top-Loading Dryers
Top-load dryers are configured like top-load washing machines, with a lid on the top for loading and unloading clothing. Clothes are pushed around a vertical drum as they dry.
- Require less maintenance
- Some models have faster cycle times
- Better for large loads
- Easy to load and unload
- Not stackable
Front-Loading Dryers
Front-load dryers have a door on the front for loading and unloading. They use a horizontally-configured drum to toss the drying clothes up and down.
- The tumbling motion doesn’t create as much friction, protecting clothes
- Stackable with front-loading washing machines
- It may be uncomfortable to load/unload due to the bending or crouching required
Stack Dryers
These dryers are part of a larger, vertical unit that connects a top-loading washing machine on the bottom to a front-loading dryer on the top. These models are typically used for small homes or apartments with significant size considerations. These dryer configurations may also be used as a secondary laundry option in a home for extra convenience.

Dryer Maintenance & Repair Services
Not Drying and No Heat
This problem has a variety of causes that can be more easily narrowed down when our technicians evaluate your model.
Not Drying, But You Sense Heat
It is highly likely that your duct is clogged. If heat cannot evacuate the humidity, it won’t effectively dry the clothes. In this instance, the dryer is not the problem; it simply has nowhere to exhaust the heat because the duct is clogged. In that case, a company that handles ductwork can resolve the issue.
No Response From Timer/Start Switch
If your appliance is not responding to your commands, contact Landers for service that is appropriate to your dryer brand and model.
Loud Screeching Sounds
The drum may be worn down, creating these noises when it operates.
Gas Smells
If you are unsure if you smell gas, Landers technicians can place a leak detector to locate the problem. However, laundry rooms are often located in the basement, and chemical smells from recent home painting or cleaning may settle into the basement and get worked up by the heat produced by the dryer.
