Ensure you buy the correct fuel type (gas vs. electric), as they use entirely different hookups. Available from $694.
Electric dryers are heavy energy users, relying on brute-force resistive heating. Heat pump dryers drastically cut energy use but require longer drying times.
Common Failure Modes
Most failures are mechanical: snapped drive belts, worn drum rollers, or burned-out heating elements. Restricted airflow from clogged vents is the number one cause of thermal fuse and element failure.
Ensure you buy the correct fuel type (gas vs. electric), as they use entirely different hookups. Look for moisture sensors, which prevent over-drying and save energy.
A typical dryer lasts 10 to 13 years with proper maintenance. Gas dryers tend to last slightly longer than electric models. Signs of end-of-life include clothes taking multiple cycles to dry, excessive heat on the exterior, unusual banging or squealing noises, and a burning smell during operation.
