Common Dryer Issues We Fix


Our experienced technician, Carlos, can quickly diagnose and repair a wide range of dryer problems, including:

  • No Heat or Inadequate Heating: A common issue caused by a faulty thermal fuse, heating element, or thermostat.
  • Excessive Drying Time: If your clothes take too long to dry, it might be due to a clogged vent or failing motor.
  • Loud Noises: Rattling, squealing, or thumping sounds often indicate issues with belts, bearings, or drum rollers.
  • Failure to Start: Problems with the door switch, start button, or electrical components can prevent the dryer from turning on.
  • Overheating or Burning Smell: Malfunctioning thermostats or vents can lead to overheating, posing safety risks.


Gas & Electric Dryer Repairs


We specialize in servicing both gas and electric dryers from major brands, including Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, Maytag, GE, and more. Our expertise ensures efficient and reliable solutions tailored to your specific dryer type:


  • Gas Dryers: Addressing issues like ignition problems, faulty gas valves, or burner assemblies.

Signs Your Dryer Needs Professional Repair


If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s time to call a professional:

  • Persistent error codes on the control panel.

Ignoring these signs can lead to more significant damage or safety hazards, so timely repairs are essential.
