Dryer Repair in West Hollywood, CA
Dryers fail in a surprisingly narrow set of ways, and the symptoms usually point straight at the cause. We handle both gas and electric dryers, including stacked laundry centers. If your dryer isn't heating, is taking two hours per load, or is making a noise it didn't used to make, we can almost certainly fix it in one visit.
What's usually behind it
No heat on an electric dryer almost always comes down to a blown heating element, a bad thermal fuse, or — occasionally — a failed high-limit thermostat. On gas dryers, the usual suspects are the igniter, the flame sensor, or one of the gas coils. Long dry times almost always trace back to restricted airflow: a plugged lint trap housing, a collapsed vent hose, or a blocked exterior vent.
Squeaking and grinding usually mean worn drum rollers, a bad idler pulley, or a glazed drum belt — all normal wear items that we replace as a set so the noise doesn't come back a year later.

Repair or replace?
Dryers are mostly mechanical — heating elements, belts, rollers, thermostats — and those parts are cheap relative to a new dryer. Dryer repair is almost always worth doing. The exception is when the cabinet or drum has rusted through, which does happen on very old units.

Frequently asked questions
Do you vent-clean as part of a dryer repair?
If a blocked vent is part of what's causing the problem, yes — we clear it during the visit. A full exterior-vent cleaning is a separate scheduled service.
Can you repair a gas dryer?
Yes. Our technicians are experienced with gas dryer components — igniters, coils, and flame sensors.
Why is my dryer shutting off partway through?
Usually an overheating issue, which almost always traces to restricted airflow — the lint path, the vent, or a failed thermistor reading high.
How do we know if it's the heating element?
Electric dryers with no heat almost always have a failed heating element, a blown thermal fuse, or both. We test electrically — we don't just swap parts.
