Try this first

Dryer Repair Questions, Answered
Why is my dryer running but not heating?
A blown thermal fuse, a burned-out heating element, a bad gas igniter, or a tripped breaker are common causes. A clogged vent can also make the safety fuse trip. We test each part and fix the cause.
Why does my dryer take so long to dry clothes?
A clogged vent or lint filter is the top cause. A weak heating element or a bad moisture sensor can also slow drying. Clean the lint filter and check the vent hose, then call us if one load still needs more than one cycle.
Why does my dryer get too hot or smell like burning?
Lint buildup and blocked airflow can overheat a dryer. Stop using it, unplug it, and call us. Do not run it again until it has been checked.
Do you repair both gas and electric dryers?
Yes. We repair gas and electric dryers. If you smell gas, leave the home and call 911 or your gas utility first.
How much does dryer repair cost in Sammamish?
The price depends on the part and the labor. We find the problem first, then give you the full price before any work starts. You choose whether to go ahead.
Is it worth repairing a dryer?
Often, yes. If the repair costs more than half the price of a new dryer and yours is old, replacing may be smarter. A newer dryer with one bad part is usually worth fixing. See our repair vs. replace guide for more.
Why is my dryer so loud?
Squealing or thumping often comes from worn drum rollers, a bad belt, or a failing motor part. Stop using the dryer if the noise gets worse, and call us.
Can I get same-day or emergency dryer repair near me?
We do our best to offer same-day visits, depending on our schedule and the parts needed. You can send a request 24 hours a day on our contact page, or call now for emergency help.
Why is lint buildup dangerous in a dryer?
Trapped lint restricts airflow, which makes the dryer run hotter and work harder, and is a leading cause of dryer fires. A blocked vent is the most common cause of a dryer taking too long. See our dryer taking too long guide.
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
Most homes should have the dryer vent cleaned at least once a year. If you dry large loads often, every six months is safer.
Do you repair stacked washer-dryer units?
Yes. We repair stacked and combo laundry units, including the dryer side, in condos and smaller Eastside homes.
Can a bad thermal fuse stop a dryer from starting?
Yes. A blown thermal fuse, usually caused by overheating from a blocked vent, is a common reason a dryer will not start or stops mid-cycle.
Do you repair dryers in older Sammamish homes with outdated vent runs?
Yes. Older or longer vent runs are a common cause of poor drying, and we will point out a vent problem even if it is separate from the dryer itself.
Is squealing or thumping always a serious problem?
Not always, but it usually means a worn belt, roller, or bearing, which tends to get louder over time. Catching it early is usually cheaper to fix.
