Dryer repair that starts with airflow

A dryer that runs but doesn’t dry wastes time and energy, and a lint-choked vent is a fire risk, so we take dryer calls seriously. We offer same-day visits whenever a technician and parts are available,* and we repair vented electric and gas dryers, stacked laundry pairs, and the compact condenser and heat-pump dryers common in Toronto condos.

We always start with airflow. A restricted vent makes a dryer overheat, blow its thermal fuse and take two cycles to dry, so replacing the fuse without clearing the vent just means another call. Then we test the heating, the drive and the controls, and explain what we find before any work starts.

Dryer Not Heating

Runs but stays cold, or only barely warm

On electric dryers, no heat usually means a blown thermal fuse, a failed heating element or a bad thermostat. On gas dryers, it’s usually the igniter, the flame sensor or the gas valve coils. A blown fuse is a symptom rather than the cause, so we find out why it blew before replacing it.

Problems we fix most

  • Drum turns but no heat
  • Some heat, but clothes stay damp
  • Heats briefly, then goes cold
  • Gas dryer clicks but won’t light
  • Dryer stops partway through

Before you book

Electric dryers use two breakers: if one has tripped, the drum can still turn with no heat. If you ever smell gas, turn the dryer off, leave the room and call your gas utility from outside.

How we diagnose a dryer with no heat

We measure airflow at the vent first, then test the thermal fuse, the heating element and the cycling and high-limit thermostats on electric models, or the igniter, the flame sensor and the gas valve coils on gas models.

Parts we often replaceThermal fuseHeating elementCycling thermostatHigh-limit thermostatIgniter (gas)Flame sensor (gas)Gas valve coilsThermistor

Dryer Takes Too Long to Dry

Two cycles to dry, hot outside, damp inside

When a load needs two cycles, the dryer is usually heating fine but can’t push the moist air out. Lint packed in the vent, a crushed foil duct behind the dryer or a stuck outside flap are the most common causes, and many newer dryers report it as an airflow code or a check-vent light.

Problems we fix most

  • Needs two or more cycles
  • Outside of the dryer very hot
  • Laundry room humid or warm
  • Check-vent light or airflow code
  • Burning smell

Fire safety

Clean the lint filter after every load and have the vent run checked about once a year. Long runs and runs with several bends clog faster.

How we diagnose slow drying

We measure the airflow through the full vent run, check the duct behind the dryer and the outside hood, and clear the vent if needed. Then we confirm that the heat and the moisture sensors are doing their job.

Parts we often replaceVent ductLint filter housingBlower wheelMoisture sensorThermistorThermal fuse

Drum Won’t Turn or Noisy Dryer

Won’t tumble, squealing, thumping, scraping

If the motor hums but the drum doesn’t turn, the drive belt has usually snapped. Squealing points to a worn idler pulley or drum rollers, thumping to a flat spot on a roller, and scraping to worn drum glides or a felt seal.

Problems we fix most

  • Motor runs but drum doesn’t turn
  • Squealing or squeaking
  • Thumping or rumbling
  • Scraping or grinding
  • Drum stops when loaded

Good to know

A squeal that gets louder over a few weeks usually means a pulley or roller is wearing out. Catching it early can save the belt and the motor.

How we diagnose drum and noise problems

We open the cabinet and turn the drum by hand to feel for worn rollers, pulleys and glides, then check the belt, the motor and the blower wheel.

Parts we often replaceDrive beltIdler pulleyDrum rollersDrum glidesDrum bearingDrive motorBlower wheel

Dryer Won’t Start

No power, hums but won’t start, stops mid-cycle

A dryer that won’t start may have a door switch that isn’t closing, a blown thermal fuse that cuts power to the motor, a failed start switch or a control board fault. The breakers come first, especially on electric dryers that use two.

Problems we fix most

  • Nothing happens when you press start
  • Display on but drum won’t start
  • Hums but doesn’t turn
  • Stops mid-cycle and won’t restart
  • Door error code

Before you book

Check the breaker or fuse, make sure the door closes firmly, and that the child lock and delay start are off.

How we diagnose a dryer that won’t start

We test the supply at the outlet, the door switch, the thermal fuse, the start switch and the motor, then the control board.

Compact, Condenser & Heat-Pump Dryers

24-inch ventless dryers in condos and stacked laundry

Ventless dryers don’t blow air outside. They condense the moisture into a container or a drain line, and heat-pump models recycle their heat. They need their filters, condenser and water path kept clear, and most of their faults come from lint in the wrong places or a blocked pump. Blomberg, Bosch, Miele, LG and Samsung compact dryers are some of the most common repairs we do in Toronto condos.

Problems we fix most

  • Water container full or drain error
  • Long cycles, clothes still damp
  • Filter or condenser warning
  • Water leaking under the dryer
  • Heat-pump dryer running cool

Quick check

Empty the water container, clean both lint filters, and rinse the condenser or plinth filter if your model has one. Most compact dryers need this every few loads.

How we diagnose a compact dryer

We clean the filters and condenser, check the water pump and drain line, then test the heater or heat-pump system, the fans and the sensors.

Parts we often replaceCondenserWater pumpDrain hoseLint filtersHeating elementFan motorThermistor

Which kind of dryer do you have?

Vented

Hot, damp air leaves through a vent to the outside. Most slow-drying problems come from a blocked or crushed vent.

Condenser

Moisture is condensed and collected in a water container or pumped to a drain. The condenser and its filter need regular cleaning.

Heat-pump

A small refrigerant circuit dries at lower temperatures. Very efficient and gentle on clothes, slower by design, and sensitive to lint.

Dryer repair by brand

We also repair Maytag, Electrolux, Asko, Speed Queen and many other dryer brands. See all brands we repair →

Dryer error codes we see

BrandCodeWhat it usually means
WhirlpoolAFAirflow restricted, usually the vent
WhirlpoolF3 E1Exhaust thermistor fault
SamsungHEHeating error
SamsungHCOverheating
SamsungdCDoor sensor fault
LGd80Restricted airflow
GEPFPower was interrupted

Airflow codes like AF and d80 usually mean the vent needs attention, not a part. Codes vary by model, so we confirm with a test. More codes in our dryer error code guide.

Repair or replace your dryer?

Usually worth repairing

  • It’s under about 10 to 12 years old
  • The fault is a belt, fuse, element, igniter, roller or switch
  • It’s a compact or stacked dryer that’s hard to replace
  • The drum and cabinet are in good shape

Worth weighing a replacement

  • The motor and control board have both failed on an old, basic dryer
  • The drum is rusted or the cabinet is damaged
  • A gas valve and the control both need replacing on an older unit
  • Parts are discontinued for the model

Dryers often last 10 to 13 years, and many dryer repairs are simple parts. You get a written price before any work starts.

Dryer repair questions

How much does dryer repair cost in Toronto?

It depends on the part and the dryer. The diagnostic is free when you go ahead with the repair, and the technician gives you a written price before any work starts. New customers also get $25 off the repair.

Why is my dryer running but not heating?

On electric dryers it's usually a blown thermal fuse, a failed heating element or a thermostat. On gas dryers it's usually the igniter, the flame sensor or the gas valve coils. A fuse often blows because the vent is blocked, so we check the airflow too.

Why does my dryer take two cycles to dry?

Most often the vent is clogged with lint or the duct behind the dryer is crushed, so the moist air can't escape. Clean the lint filter, check that the outside flap opens when the dryer runs, and book a visit if it's still slow.

Do you repair gas dryers?

Yes. We repair gas and electric dryers, including no-heat problems with igniters, flame sensors and gas valve coils.

Do you repair compact heat-pump and condenser dryers?

Yes. We repair 24-inch ventless dryers from Blomberg, Bosch, Miele, LG, Samsung and other brands, which are common in Toronto condos.

How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?

Clean the lint filter after every load and have the vent run checked about once a year, more often for long runs or runs with several bends.

Can you come the same day?

Often, yes. We offer same-day visits whenever a technician and parts are available in your area. If today is full, we book the earliest time that suits you.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. Our repairs carry a warranty of up to 12 months, depending on the repair.
