A dryer is a heater and a fan, and most of what goes wrong is a problem of moving heat out. In a triple-decker the machine is often in the basement or an inside room, and the exhaust runs a long way with several elbows to reach outside. The residential code caps the run at 35 feet; a tight 90-degree elbow costs 5 feet of that, a long-radius one under 2. Past that, or once lint packs the duct, the dryer overheats: loads take two cycles, the thermal fuse opens, and a new fuse opens again weeks later. A dryer that stops early with damp clothes may have a moisture sensor coated in softener film, or a restricted vent; the symptoms are nearly identical, so the vent is measured before the sensor is blamed.
No heat splits by fuel. An electric dryer heats on 240V but its motor runs on 120V, so if one leg of the double-pole breaker drops, the drum spins and nothing warms. On a gas dryer, an igniter that glows and never lights points to the flame sensor if it glows for minutes, or to the gas-valve coils if it goes dark after a minute.

Practical guides for Boston kitchens and laundry rooms
Decide what is worth saving first, then work the list: the innocent explanations, the gasket test, airflow and frost, the condenser coils, and what the sounds mean.
A cold freezer proves the sealed system works, which rules out most of the machine. What is left is the evaporator fan, the defrost system and the damper — plus four checks worth doing first.
A two-minute test at the outside vent separates a restricted duct from a failed heating element. Where lint actually hides, why a blown thermal fuse is a symptom rather than a cause, and the habits that keep it fixed.
The smell follows from the design: a sealed door, a horizontal drum, very little water. Where it actually lives, why detergent dosing accelerates it, and the habit that keeps it from coming back.
The water has one way out, and the blockage is usually somewhere you can reach with a towel. Filter, disposal knockout plug, hose high loop, air gap — then what is left is the pump.
Two sealed systems behind one door front change the diagnosis, the condenser lives above the doors and decides most service calls, and the repair-or-replace rule does not apply to a machine the cabinets were built around.
