Dryer Repair — Gas & Electric

A dryer that runs but doesn't heat is telling you something specific. So is one that takes three cycles to dry a load of towels.

Most “my dryer is broken” calls are actually one of four things: a failed heating element (electric), a dead igniter or flame sensor (gas), a blown thermal fuse, or a vent line so clogged that the safeties keep cutting in. We diagnose all four on the first visit.

What we fix

Vent cleaning

We strongly recommend a vent cleaning if it’s been more than 18 months, especially for second-story laundries with long duct runs. It’s a fire-safety item, not just a performance item — we can do it on the same visit.
