No heat is the most common dryer complaint. For electric dryers, the heating element or thermal fuse is usually the culprit. For gas dryers, we check the igniter, gas valve coils, and flame sensor. We carry heating elements and fuses for all major brands.
Slow drying is almost always a restricted airflow problem — a clogged lint trap, blocked exhaust duct, or a weak blower motor. This is also a fire hazard and should be addressed immediately.
Squealing points to a worn drum bearing, felt seal, or idler pulley. Thumping usually means the drum support rollers have flat-spotted. Both are straightforward mechanical repairs.
A drum that will not rotate but the motor runs typically has a broken or stretched drive belt. If the motor is not running at all, we check the motor start switch and thermal fuse first.
Complete failure to start often comes down to a blown thermal fuse, a faulty door switch, or a failed start switch. These are quick diagnostic checks and usually fast, affordable fixes.
A thermal fuse that blows repeatedly is a warning sign of restricted airflow or a cycling thermostat failure. Simply replacing the fuse without fixing the root cause is a fire hazard — we always find and fix the underlying problem.

For electric dryers, the most common causes are a blown thermal fuse or a burned-out heating element. For gas dryers, we look at the igniter, gas valve coils, and flame sensor. All of these are diagnosable and repairable on the first visit.
Electric dryers are typically less expensive to repair. Heating element replacement on an electric dryer is straightforward and the part is inexpensive. Gas dryer igniter and valve work involves more components and requires a gas-certified technician.
No — a properly functioning dryer should fully dry a standard load in one cycle. Double-cycling almost always means clogged lint buildup in the duct, a weak blower, or a heating element running at reduced capacity. It's also a lint fire risk.
At minimum once every 12 months, or more frequently if you do many loads per week. A clogged vent is the single leading cause of dryer fires and also the top reason thermal fuses blow. We offer vent cleaning with every repair.
