What should've been one cycle had turned into three, and we didn't know why. Vent was choked with lint from one end to the other, cleared completely and back to a single cycle.

A dryer blowing cool instead of warm, or tumbling clothes that stay damp, rarely means the whole unit is finished. One worn part is the usual culprit, and we track it down fast.
Match the symptom below to what's likely causing it, straight from years of Waterdown service calls.
The tumbling sounds fine but everything comes out cold. Either the heating element has burned out internally, or a thermal fuse tripped somewhere along the line and cut power to it.
A load that used to finish in forty minutes now needs an hour or more. This is far more often a blocked vent path than an actual fault inside the dryer.
The motor runs, you can hear it, but the drum itself doesn't rotate. The drive belt has typically snapped or worked loose, which is the most common reason for this exact symptom.
A sharp noise on startup that sometimes quiets down after a minute of running. The rollers supporting the drum have likely dried out and need fresh lubrication or replacing.
A faint scorched odor near the start of a cycle, gone by the time it finishes. Lint accumulation near the heating element is the most common explanation, worth checking before running it again.
The dryer stops itself before the load is actually dry. A thermal cutoff is likely tripping too soon, which almost always points back to airflow being partially blocked somewhere in the system.
Still Not Sure What's Wrong?
Rather than keep testing settings, call and get a technician's read on it today.

Everything came out cold no matter the setting. Element inside had burned out, new one installed and tested before he left.

A squeal every single time it started, worse by the day. Rollers had dried out completely, replaced and it runs quiet now.
Wilhelmina G.
Took the time to show us the lint buildup in the vent himself. One star off only for a slightly delayed appointment window.
Barnabus L.
Kept cutting off with time left on the timer, every single load. Airflow issue was tripping a safety cutoff, resolved and full cycles complete now.
Ottoline F.
Caught a burning smell early and shut it off right away. Lint near the element was the cause, cleared and confirmed safe.
