Symptoms that your washer needs repair: Symptoms that your dryer needs repair:
  • Poor wash performance
  • Noisy during the spin cycle
  • Sounds like something rattling during operation
  • Moving around on the floor
  • Leaking water
  • Giving an error code
  • Taking a long time to dry (this can also be a sign that you need a dryer vent cleaning)
  • Scraping or squeaking noise when the dryer is running
  • Burning smell or unit seems hot to the touch
  • Rattling noise or sounds like something is loose
  • Brown or black marks on clothing
  • Something just isn’t right and you know you need appliance repair

Why it’s important to have your laundry appliances serviced periodically:

  • Dirty or poorly performing washers mean dirty clothes! If your agitator isn’t working, the clothes aren’t getting clean.
  • Little problems become big problems when ignored. Allowing the unit to operate dirty is taxing on all the components of the appliance, resulting in longer runs times on dryers, and components failing earlier.

Hometown Hero Appliance Repair has the tools, the expertise, and the parts to help you keep your appliances running smoothly. Our expert technicians will evaluate your washer or dryer and let you know if changes are needed. If you’re not sure if you need service, call us at (515) 393-4400 and speak to one of our expert technicians for advice.

Job Details: 03/05/2026
The customer's dryer was displaying an HO1 error code when powered on. We diagnosed the issue to a faulty blower wheel thermistor that was producing unstable resistance readings. We replaced the thermistor with a new one, verified the readings stabilized at proper levels, and confirmed the dryer now operates normally without the error code. Job complete. Technician cycled power to clear the error and performed diagnostic testing with a multimeter, which revealed the blower wheel thermistor bouncing between -0.6 and 10 ohms regardless of wire harness connection. After installing a replacement thermistor (DC32-00007A), resistance readings stabilized at 4.3 ohms and responded appropriately to temperature changes. Unit was reassembled and passed quality control testing.
