We returned to a commercial laundry facility on North Chapel Street in Louisville, OH for repairs on two Dexter dryers. The customer reported that dryer 1 was not heating and suspected we had reset it during a previous visit, while dryer 6 needed an impeller replacement with the new part already on-site.
The Problem
Dryer 1 not heating – the customer thought we had reset this on a previous visit to get it to heat. Dryer 6 needed an impeller replacement with the new impeller already waiting on the table in the boiler room.
Diagnosis
On dryer 1, we found the lint trap was not properly seated, which can affect heating performance. Dryer 6 required installation of the blower and motor assembly along with the new impeller. We also noted that lint needed to be completely cleaned from the thermostat area under the dryer drums.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: Motor mount (used)
- Work performed: Reseated lint trap on dryer #1, installed blower and motor on dryer #6
- Result: Both dryers restored to proper operation with recommendation for thorough lint cleaning
Is It Worth Repairing?
Dexter commercial dryers are built for heavy-duty laundromat use and typically have longer service lives than residential units. When properly maintained with regular lint removal and component replacements as needed, these machines can provide years of reliable service in commercial settings.
Maintenance Tips for Dexter Dryers
- Ensure lint traps are properly seated after each cleaning to maintain proper airflow and heating
- Clean lint completely from thermostat areas under dryer drums to prevent overheating issues
- Regularly inspect and clean blower assemblies in commercial units to prevent impeller damage
