My dishwasher smells like burning rubber during certain cycles while running. There is nothing sitting on the heating element. The dishwasher is about 6 years old.

My Whirlpool dryer model #LER7648PT1 stopped tumbling. I was cleaning the inside of it and turned it the wrong dirrection apparently and I heard a loud noise. It works but the tub doesn't turn now.

Common dryer repair problems involve dryers that won't work at all, dryers that won't tumble, slow drying, overheating or a lack of heat in the dryer. Here are a few basic dryer repairs you can perform while you wait for a professional dryer repair service to arrive at your home. If your clothes dryer doesn't run at all, make sure that the appliance is plugged in properly. Check if the power outlet is functioning by using the voltage tester or by plugging in any other appliance. Many electric dryers require a 240 volt receptacle to work. If there is nothing with the power, check the power cord, and if necessary, replace it. If there is nothing wrong here too, open the dryer door, and check if the door switch clicks each time you release it. If there is no clicking noise, then you may have a broken door switch. Call a dryer repair professional to replace the switch.
If your dryer doesn't seem to heat, look if the appliance is getting enough power. Check if it is plugged in properly, and look for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses. Check if the main wiring connection has broken or has been burnt. If yes, then both the power cord as well as the terminal block may have to be replaced. In case of gas dryer repairs, where the dryer doesn't heat, check the setting to ensure that it's not on a heat free reading. Also, make sure the gas supply is turned on by checking the valve behind the dryer. Also, check the main gas supply connection in the house. In case your dryer has an electronic ignition, and it's not turning on, call a gas dryer repair service. In case your gas dryer has a pilot light, make sure it's burning, or relight it. If your dryer seems to be too slow, look if there is any obstruction from the vent duct of the dryer to outside. It could also be because of a partially burnt heating element. Call a professional dryer repair service to fix these.
Washing machine repairs are a little easier to undertake, because it has a simple functioning. If your washer doesn't run, then simple washer repairs will involve checking to see if the machine is receiving enough power. If the machine stops midway, but continues to hum, then there may be a trip in the overload protector. Take out some pieces of clothing from the machine, and then restart. Make sure that the power receptacle is functioning properly, and that the washer lid is completely shut. You may even have to replace the cord if the main power receptacle seems to be functioning properly. If none of these work, then it could be a problem with the controls.
