Gas and electric dryer repair — safe, certified, thorough
A dryer is half appliance and half ventilation system, and most "broken dryer" calls are really a heat or airflow problem. When clothes come out damp after a full cycle, the culprit is usually a failed heating element or gas igniter, a tripped thermal fuse, or — surprisingly often — a vent so packed with lint that the dryer cannot exhaust moisture. Our technicians test the heating circuit, the thermostats and the airflow as a system, because replacing a heating element without clearing a blocked vent just burns out the new element.
What we repair
On electric dryers we replace heating elements, high-limit and cycling thermostats, thermal fuses and worn drum components. On gas models we service igniters, flame sensors and gas valve coils — work that should only be done by a trained technician, since a mis-diagnosed gas dryer is a safety hazard, not just an inconvenience. Squealing and grinding almost always means worn drum rollers, a failing idler pulley or a glazed belt, which we replace as a matched set so the noise does not return. Every job uses genuine OEM parts rated for your model's heat load.
- Gas and electric, standalone and stacked dryers
- Heating elements, igniters, thermostats, thermal fuses and belts
- Drum rollers, idler pulleys and bearing replacement
- 6-month parts-and-labor warranty on every dryer repair
The safety angle most companies skip
Lint is combustible, and a restricted dryer runs hot enough to be a genuine fire risk. When we repair a dryer we check the venting and the thermal-protection circuit as part of the job, so you get an appliance that is not only working but safe. If your dry times have crept up gradually, that is the warning sign worth acting on.
Common problems we fix
- No heat / clothes still damp
- Takes multiple cycles to dry
- Squealing or grinding noise
- Will not start or shuts off
- Drum not tumbling
- Burning smell during operation
Frequently asked questions
My dryer runs but does not heat. What is wrong?
No-heat is typically a failed heating element (electric), a bad igniter or flame sensor (gas), or a blown thermal fuse caused by restricted airflow. We test the full heat circuit so we replace the part that actually failed — and clear what caused it.
Why does my dryer take so long to dry?
Long dry times are usually airflow, not the dryer itself: a clogged vent, lint-packed duct or partially failed heating circuit. We measure airflow and heat output rather than guessing.
Is it safe to keep using a dryer that smells like burning?
No — stop using it and call us. A burning smell can mean lint near the heating element or a failing motor, both of which are fire risks. We will inspect it promptly.
