If your Roper dryer is not producing heat, begin by inspecting the heating element for signs of wear or damage. A blown thermal fuse could also prevent the dryer from heating, so check it for continuity with a multimeter. The thermostat could be malfunctioning as well, so test it to ensure it’s working properly. If any of these components are faulty, replacing them should restore heat to your dryer.

If your dryer is taking too long to dry clothes, it’s likely due to airflow restrictions. First, check and clean the lint trap. A clogged vent hose can also reduce airflow, so inspect it for any blockages or kinks. Ensure the external vent leading outside is unobstructed. If the blower wheel is damaged or clogged, it may need to be replaced to improve airflow.

Unusual noises from your Roper dryer, such as banging, grinding, or squeaking, can usually be traced back to worn drum support rollers or a broken belt. Inspect the rollers and bearings for wear and replace them as needed. Also, check the belt for any signs of damage or slack. Lastly, look for any debris inside the drum that could be causing the noise.

If your dryer isn’t starting, make sure it is properly plugged in and check that the power outlet is functioning. Inspect the door switch to ensure it is properly engaging, as a faulty door switch can prevent the dryer from starting. Test the start switch for continuity with a multimeter. If the start switch or control board is malfunctioning, it may need to be replaced.

If your Roper dryer is overheating, it’s likely due to blocked airflow. Clean the lint filter and vent system thoroughly, as blockages can cause the dryer to overheat. Inspect the cycling thermostat for proper operation and ensure the heating element is working correctly. If the thermostat is faulty, replace it to resolve the overheating issue.
