Dryer Problems We Fix
We service gas and electric dryers, vented and ventless models, and stacked laundry centers from Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, Kenmore, Amana, Electrolux, and more.
The dryer problems we see most often include a dryer that runs but will not heat, clothes that need two or three cycles to dry, a drum that will not turn, loud thumping or squealing from worn rollers or a bad idler pulley, a broken door switch, a burned-out heating element or gas igniter, a failed thermal fuse or cycling thermostat, error codes, and a machine that shuts off early because a moisture sensor or restricted venting is fooling the control board. Every visit starts with a full diagnostic, so you get an accurate quote instead of a guess — not a parts-cannon guess that costs you money.
A dryer that will not heat is usually one of a few inexpensive parts — a heating element, a thermal fuse, a cycling thermostat, or a gas igniter and coil kit. Long dry times, on the other hand, are far more often a venting problem than a machine problem, so we check airflow as part of the diagnostic instead of selling you parts you do not need. We also perform full dryer vent cleanings, which is the single best thing you can do to cut dry times, lower your energy bill, and reduce the risk of a lint fire.

Frequently Asked Questions — Dryer Repair
My dryer runs but will not heat. What is wrong?
On an electric dryer the usual suspects are a burned-out heating element, a blown thermal fuse, or a failed cycling thermostat. On a gas dryer it is typically the igniter, the flame sensor, or the gas valve coils. All of these are common, affordable repairs.
Why is my dryer taking so long to dry clothes?
Most of the time the machine is fine and the venting is restricted. Lint buildup in the duct, a crushed transition hose, a long run to the exterior, or a blocked exterior flap all trap moisture in the drum. We check airflow during the diagnostic and can clean the full vent run on the same visit.
Do you clean dryer vents in Auburn?
Yes. Full dryer vent cleaning is one of our standard maintenance services, and we recommend it annually — more often for households with pets or long duct runs.
How much does dryer repair cost?
Dryer repairs are among the least expensive appliance repairs we do. There is a diagnostic fee that is applied toward the repair if you proceed, and you receive a full quote before any work begins.
Do you service gas dryers?
Yes. We service both gas and electric dryers, including igniter, flame sensor, and gas valve coil replacement.
