Dryer problems we fix every day
Dryer not heating but still spinning
On electric dryers this is usually a burned-out heating element or a blown thermal fuse; on gas models, a failed igniter or gas valve coils. The thermal fuse almost always blows because of restricted airflow, so we clean the blower housing and check the vent rather than just swapping the fuse. Most no-heat repairs run $130 to $280.
Dryer takes two or three cycles to dry clothes
Nine times out of ten this is airflow: a lint-packed vent duct, a crushed transition hose behind the dryer, or a clogged blower wheel. A vent cleaning plus a check of the cycling thermostat and moisture sensor usually restores full drying and cuts the fire risk that comes with a blocked vent.
Dryer won't start or won't turn on
A failed door switch, a broken belt tripping the belt switch, a blown thermal fuse, or a bad start switch or control board are the usual causes. On gas and electric models alike these are quick diagnoses, and the parts are inexpensive; most no-start repairs land between $120 and $250.
Dryer making loud squealing or thumping noises
Worn drum rollers, a dry or seized idler pulley, and worn drum glides are the classic culprits; a rhythmic thump often means the drive belt has hardened or a roller has flat-spotted. We typically replace the rollers, idler, and belt together as a kit so you're not paying for a second visit six months later.
Dryer drum not spinning
A snapped drive belt is the most common cause and one of the cheapest dryer repairs there is. If the belt is intact, the idler pulley or drive motor is the next suspect. Belt jobs are routine same-visit work, usually $110 to $200 installed.
Dryer shuts off after a few minutes
Overheating from restricted airflow trips the cycling thermostat or thermal cutoff, and a worn drive motor can also cut out as it heats up. We check the vent run, blower wheel, and thermostats together, because replacing the thermostat without fixing the airflow just blows the new part.
Dryer gets hot but clothes come out damp
Heat without drying means the moist air isn't leaving: a blocked vent duct, a broken blower wheel, or on moisture-sensing models a filmed-over sensor bar reading dry too early. Dryer sheets leave a coating on sensor bars that a cleaning fixes; LG and Samsung units will also throw duct-restriction codes for this.
Burning smell from the dryer
Lint settling on the heating element or gas burner is the most common source and a genuine fire hazard, followed by a slipping belt or a seizing motor. Stop using the dryer and have it opened up and cleaned; the repair itself is usually modest, and it's not a symptom to wait on.

Repair or replace your dryer?
Dryers are the appliance most worth repairing: they're mechanically simple, and belts, rollers, elements, igniters, fuses, and thermostats cost $120 to $300 fixed, versus $600 to $1,100 for a comparable new machine. A dryer under 12 years old with any of those failures is an easy call to repair. Replacement makes sense when the drive motor and drum bearing fail together on an older unit, when a control board tops $350 on a machine past 10 years, or when the drum itself is cracked.

Dryer repair FAQ
How much does it cost to fix a dryer that won't heat?
Most no-heat repairs run $130 to $280 installed, for a heating element on an electric model or an igniter on gas. If a blown thermal fuse caused it, expect the technician to clean the blower and check your vent too, since otherwise the new fuse blows within weeks.
How long does a dryer repair take?
Usually 45 to 75 minutes. Dryers are the most standardized appliance we service, and our trucks stock elements, igniters, belts, fuses, and roller kits for Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, Maytag, and GE, so nearly all dryer jobs finish in a single visit.
Is it worth repairing a 10-year-old dryer?
Usually yes. A well-built dryer can run 15 years or more, and typical failures at that age (belts, rollers, elements) cost a fraction of a new machine. We'd only steer you toward replacement if the motor, bearing, and drum are all worn at once.
Why does my dryer take so long to dry clothes?
Before calling, check what you can: clean the lint screen, pull the dryer out and make sure the transition hose isn't crushed, and see whether the outside vent flap opens during a cycle. Weak or no airflow outside means a blocked duct, which is the cause in most slow-dry calls.
What brands of dryer do you repair?
All major brands, gas and electric: Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, Maytag, GE, Speed Queen, Kenmore, Electrolux, and more. That includes stacked laundry centers and ventless condenser and heat pump dryers common in condos.
Do you repair gas dryers, and are they safe to keep running?
Yes. Our technicians handle igniters, gas valve coils, and flame sensors routinely, and they leak-test the gas connection on every visit. A gas dryer that clicks but won't light is safe to have looked at, but a gas smell means shut it off and close the supply valve before calling.
