The market for high-end appliances is fiercely competitive. Top brands like Viking and Miele fight it out to be the manufacturer of choice, proudly displayed in discerning homeowners' kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms. According to Viking, since becoming part of Middleby Corporation, Viking has created upwards of 50 new innovative and award-winning products. Premium-branded appliances are an investment, but that doesn't mean you won't need Miele or Viking appliance repairs at some point to ensure your appliances always work as needed. If you suspect your clothes dryer may need to be repaired, here are three signs to look out for.

1. Your Clothes Take Too Long to Dry

If your clothes typically take about an hour to dry and you notice it's taking longer than usual, it's smart to start tracking this issue. Your clothes may only need 10 extra minutes to complete the cycle. However, with time, you'll need more and more time to dry your clothes. A dryer that takes longer to do its job may need professional repairs to maintain its high-efficiency level.

2. Your Dryer Is Emitting a Burning Smell

Every so often, you may forget to clean out your dryer's lint basket, which can cause a slight burning smell. However, bigger issues can also cause a hazardous burning smell, such as a jammed or broken dryer hose. If that's the case, then hot air can't escape the dryer, which can cause a fire to start. This can be very dangerous, so if you smell burning, it's best to turn off your dryer immediately and contact the professionals for repair services.

3. Your Dryer Is Drumming

During typical use, your dryer spins to efficiently dry your clothing. When you hear a drumming noise instead, it could mean the dryer belt has snapped. This doesn't mean you need a brand-new dryer; you just need a new belt! Fortunately, our experts in Miele and Viking appliance repairs can assist.

Regular maintenance and repair services will enhance the lifespan of high-end appliances. With the right appliance service and repair company on board, your dryer will be working efficiently for years to come.
