How We Repair Your Dryer
Dryers tumble clothes with a drum, belt and motor while a gas burner or electric element heats air that leaves through the vent.
Safety first: A clogged dryer vent is a fire risk. If clothes come out very hot or the room smells scorched, stop using the dryer.
Common Dryer Problems We Fix
Drum will not turn
A broken drive belt, a failed idler pulley or motor.
Squeaking or thumping
Worn drum rollers, idler pulley or glides.
Shuts off early
A dirty moisture sensor or an overheating cycling thermostat.
Will not start
A door switch, a thermal fuse or a start switch.
No heat
On electric dryers, a burned-out element or a blown thermal fuse; on gas dryers, a weak igniter or failed gas valve coils. A clogged vent is often the root cause.
Takes too long to dry
A restricted vent, a clogged lint duct, a weak element or a moisture sensor that needs cleaning.
Quick Checks Before You Call
These are safe for most owners and sometimes solve the problem without a visit:
- Clean the lint screen and the lint duct below it.
- Disconnect and clear the vent hose; check the outdoor flap opens when the dryer runs.
- Electric dryers need both breakers on: no heat can be a half-tripped breaker.
- Wipe the metal moisture sensor bars inside the drum.

Should I repair or replace my dryer?
A dryer typically lasts about 10 to 13 years. If yours is well inside that range and the repair costs less than half the price of a new one, repairing usually makes sense. Near the end of its life, or when the repair costs more than half of a replacement, replacing is often the better value. We give you an honest opinion either way.
