Common dryer problems we fix
Runs but no heat

Drum does not turn
A broken belt, a seized idler pulley or a failed motor.
Squealing, thumping or grinding
Worn drum rollers, glides or the idler pulley. Cheap to fix early, expensive if ignored.
Shuts off after a few minutes
Overheating from a blocked vent tripping the safety thermostat, or a failing motor.
Will not start
A door switch, thermal fuse, start switch or control board.

Dryer Repair FAQ
Why is my dryer running but not heating?
On an electric dryer, check the breaker first: dryers use two breaker legs and the drum can still turn with one tripped. After that the usual causes are a blown thermal fuse or a broken heating element. On a gas dryer the igniter or the gas valve coils are the common failures. A blown thermal fuse almost always means the vent is restricted, so the vent should be checked at the same visit.
Do you repair gas dryers?
Yes, gas and electric. If you smell gas, do not run the dryer: leave the area and call SoCalGas at 1-800-427-2200 before booking a repair.
How do I know the vent is the problem?
Clothes that are hot but still damp, a dryer top that is hot to the touch, a musty smell, or a flap outside that barely opens while the dryer runs. Any of these points to a vent that needs cleaning.
