Not Heating

Takes Too Long
Running 2–3 cycles per load. Usually a clogged exhaust duct. We clean it free with every repair.
Noisy / Squeaking
Squeaking or thumping when spinning — worn drum support rollers. $40 part, 30 min labor.
Won't Start
You press the button — nothing. Thermal fuse or door switch. $15–$70 fix.
Door Won't Latch
Door doesn't close or dryer doesn't sense it's shut. Broken door latch. $20–$50.
Drum Problems
Drum sags, thumps, or the felt seal is worn. Needs inspection and service.

What you get in one service call
Analyzer Diagnostics
We plug in the analyzer — in 5 minutes we see amperage on the element, air temp, and vent airflow. You watch the data on-screen.
Free Vent Inspection
Clogged vent = fire hazard (NFPA: ~2,900 dryer fires per year in the US). We check and clean it with every repair.
No Fix, No Charge
Can't solve the problem — you pay only $89 for diagnostics. Zero for the repair. Plus 90 days warranty.
Why we fix your dryer right the first time
The average tech: "not heating — swap the element." Didn't help. "Then the thermal fuse." Still nothing. You pay three times. Our analyzer reads amperage on the element, air temp, and vent airflow in 5 minutes. One part, one visit.

What customers say
“Loud squeaking every rotation on our Samsung DV. Tech said Samsung drum rollers wear unevenly and you have to replace all four at once or the noise comes back in 6 months — replaced all of them. Silent now.”
“LG gas dryer not heating. Worried about safety. Tech found a cracked igniter, replaced it, and did a full gas leak check — all included. Fast and thorough.”
“Samsung dryer ran full cycles but clothes stayed damp. Heating element burned out. Fixed in 40 min for $200. New dryer would have been $1,100.”

Dryer repair questions
What does dryer repair actually cost?
Most dryer repairs run $120–$220 total (labor + part). The most common issues — belt, rollers, heating element — are $20–$140 for the part and $80 for labor. We quote the exact price before we start, after diagnostics.
Should I just buy a new dryer?
Depends on the machine. Here's how Dmitry looks at it:
Dryers are the most repair-friendly appliance out there. Parts are simple and cheap: belt $20, rollers $40, element $80, thermal fuse $15. They last for years — no sensitive electronics dying after three.
Real example: A Whirlpool 22 years old — replaced rollers twice at $40 each. Still runs. A Samsung 5 years old — control board failed, $400 repair. The old one was more reliable.
Exception: motor + board + element all at once on a 15+ year-old machine — we'll do the math together. If the repair exceeds $400 and the dryer is over 12 years old, sometimes a new one makes more sense.
Average repair: $150. New dryer: $700–$1,500 plus wait time. Full breakdown: repair vs. replace →
What if you can't fix it?
If we don't fix it, you don't pay. You only pay $89 for the diagnostic (service call + analyzer). More about our guarantee →
How fast can you get here?
We're based in Orange. Usually 2–3 hours from your call. 9 out of 10 dryer repairs are done same-day: belts, rollers, heating elements — we carry them in the van.
Is a dryer actually a fire risk?
Yes, if the vent is clogged. Wet lint builds up → overheating → ignition. According to NFPA, roughly 2,900 dryer fires happen in the US every year.
We clean the vent duct free with every repair. If it's been a while — call us, we'll check it. Usually $80–$150 if it's just a cleaning with no repair.
Taking too long to dry — is that a breakdown?
70% of the time — yes, it's a clogged vent or flex hose. The element heats, but humid air can't escape. We check airflow with the analyzer.
The other 30%: moisture sensor or heating element running below capacity. The analyzer shows which one in under 5 minutes.
How are you different from a handyman?
A handyman does a bit of everything. Appliance repair is its own licensed specialty in California.
We have a diagnostic analyzer for pinpoint accuracy, a van stocked with parts, and direct supplier relationships with Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, and Maytag. A handyman will Google it — we see these failures every day.
How much is the diagnostic fee?
$89 — waived when you go ahead with the repair. If we don't fix it, you don't pay. You only pay the diagnostic fee if you decide not to proceed.
