Common Dryer Problems We Repair
Dryer Not Heating
If your dryer runs but produces no heat, clothes stay damp after full cycles, drying times have doubled, or you can run multiple cycles without clothes getting dry, it's typically caused by a blown thermal fuse, faulty heating element (electric), defective igniter (gas), malfunctioning gas valve coils, broken thermostat, or tripped circuit breaker cutting power to heating element.
Typical repair cost: $150–$300, depending on the model and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians test the thermal fuse and thermostats with a multimeter, inspect heating elements for continuity, check gas igniters for proper glow and amperage, examine gas valve coils, inspect venting for blockages, and replace failed components with OEM parts.
We run heat cycles to confirm proper temperature and drying performance.
This ensures your dryer heats safely and efficiently, protecting your home from potential fire hazards.
Don't risk a fire hazard or waste time with a broken dryer. Our Costa Mesa and Orange County technicians offer same-day service with upfront pricing and guaranteed repairs.

Dryer Not Spinning or Tumbling
If your dryer won't spin or tumble at all, drum turns but makes squealing or thumping noises, dryer hums but drum doesn't move, belt is loose or broken, or drum spins very slowly, it's typically caused by a broken drive belt, worn drum rollers, seized drum roller axles, failed idler pulley, defective drive motor, or worn drum glides causing drag.
Typical repair cost: $125–$300, depending on the belt and roller condition and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians inspect the drive belt for breaks or wear, test drum rollers and axles for smooth rotation, check idler pulley tension, examine drive motor operation, inspect drum glides for wear, and replace broken belts, worn rollers, or failed motors with OEM parts.
We verify smooth, quiet drum rotation.
This ensures your dryer tumbles properly for effective, even drying without damaging clothes.

Dryer Not Starting or No Power
If your dryer won't start when you press the button, has no lights or display, is completely dead, door closes but nothing happens when you start it, or thermal fuse has blown preventing startup, it's typically caused by a tripped circuit breaker, blown thermal fuse, faulty door switch not detecting closure, broken start switch, failed drive motor, or defective main control board.
Typical repair cost: $100–$350, depending on the component and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians check circuit breakers and power supply (electric dryers need 240V), test the thermal fuse for continuity, inspect door switch operation, examine start switch function, test drive motor windings, diagnose control board issues, and replace failed switches, fuses, or boards with OEM parts.

This ensures your dryer powers on reliably and starts when you need it.

Dryer Taking Too Long to Dry
If your dryer runs but takes 2-3 cycles to dry clothes, drying times have increased significantly, clothes are still damp after normal cycle times, or the dryer feels less hot than usual, it's typically caused by a clogged lint filter or vent system restricting airflow, partially failed heating element producing less heat, weak gas valve not providing full flame, faulty thermostat cycling heat off too early, or improper venting installation.
Typical repair cost: $100–$275, depending on vent condition and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians thoroughly clean lint filters and vent systems, inspect ductwork for restrictions or damage, test heating elements for proper resistance, check gas valve operation and flame strength, test thermostat cycling, measure exhaust airflow, and replace weak components with OEM parts.

Dryer Making Loud or Unusual Noises
If your dryer makes loud thumping or banging sounds, produces squealing or screeching noises, creates grinding or rattling sounds, vibrates excessively, or sounds much louder than normal, it's typically caused by worn drum rollers or bearings, damaged drum glides, loose blower wheel, worn belt, failed idler pulley, foreign objects in drum or blower housing, or loose cabinet panels.
Typical repair cost: $150–$350, depending on roller and bearing condition and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians inspect drum rollers and bearings for wear, check drum glides for damage, examine the blower wheel for looseness or debris, test idler pulley operation, look for foreign objects, tighten cabinet panels, and replace worn rollers, glides, or pulleys with OEM parts.

Dryer Overheating or Too Hot
If your dryer gets extremely hot to the touch, clothes come out too hot to handle, you smell burning, fabric shows heat damage or shrinkage, or dryer shuts off due to overheating, it's typically caused by a clogged vent restricting airflow and trapping heat, failed cycling thermostat not regulating temperature, stuck high-limit thermostat, blocked lint filter, restricted blower wheel, or faulty heating element staying on continuously.
Typical repair cost: $125–$275, depending on thermostat and vent issues and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians clean vent systems thoroughly, test cycling and high-limit thermostats for proper operation, inspect lint filters and blower areas, verify proper airflow and exhaust, test heating element cycling, and replace failed thermostats or components with OEM parts.

Dryer Door Won't Stay Closed or Latch
If your dryer door won't stay closed during operation, pops open mid-cycle, doesn't latch securely, feels loose or misaligned, strike won't catch, or dryer won't start because door isn't registering as closed, it's typically caused by a broken door latch or strike, worn door hinges, failed door switch, bent door or frame, broken latch spring, or misaligned strike plate.
Typical repair cost: $100–$225, depending on latch mechanism and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians inspect door latch and strike for damage, test door hinges for wear and alignment, examine door switch operation, check door frame alignment, verify strike plate positioning, and replace worn latches, strikes, or switches with OEM parts.

Dryer Smells Like Burning
If your dryer smells like burning rubber, plastic, or lint, produces smoke or visible burning, leaves a burning odor on clothes, or you see scorch marks inside, it's typically caused by lint buildup on heating element or in vent system creating fire hazard, worn drive belt generating friction heat, seized drum rollers or idler pulley, foreign objects near heating element, failed thermostat allowing overheating, or electrical component burning.
Typical repair cost: $125–$300, depending on the cause and parts required.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is it worth it to repair my appliance?
That's the most common question in our industry.
As a general rule, if your appliance is newer (under 8 years old) and the repair costs less than half of what a new one would cost, it's usually worth fixing. We'll give you an honest assessment and clear repair quote so you can make the best decision.
2. Do you sell appliance parts?
No, we do not sell parts separately.
Parts are only provided when we perform the repair to ensure proper installation and warranty coverage.
3. How long does an appliance repair usually take?
The time required for a repair depends on the issue and the type of appliance.
Most repairs can be completed within 1-2 hours.
For more complex issues or if parts need to be ordered, it may take longer. We’ll always keep you updated on the progress.
4. Do you offer a warranty on your repairs?
Yes, we offer a warranty on both parts and labor.
The exact terms vary depending on the repair, but typically, parts come with a manufacturer’s warranty, and we provide a service guarantee for the work we perform.
5. What should I do if my appliance is still under warranty?
If your appliance is still under warranty, it’s important to contact the manufacturer or the retailer where you purchased it.
We can still assist with the repair, but you may want to verify whether the warranty will cover our services or if it must be handled by the manufacturer’s authorized service provider.
6. Do you install parts that customers provide?
No, we only install parts that we supply.
This ensures quality control and allows us to warranty both the parts and labor. We cannot provide warranty coverage on customer-supplied parts.
7. What types of appliances do you repair?
We repair a wide range of home appliances, including refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, ovens, stoves, and microwaves. If you’re unsure whether we can fix your specific appliance, feel free to contact us for more information.
