Signs Your Dryer Needs a Repair
A dryer that's starting to fail usually shows one of these signs first. Catching it early is safer and cheaper than waiting for a full breakdown.
Clothes come out damp after a full cycle
The drum runs but there's no heat at all
A burning smell during the cycle
Loud thumping or squealing noises
The dryer takes two or three cycles to finish
The outside of the dryer feels hot to the touch
A burning smell or an overheating dryer is a fire risk. Stop using the dryer, unplug it or shut off the gas supply, and call us right away for emergency service.
What's Usually Behind a Dryer Breakdown
Here's what our technicians find most often when they look inside a dryer in a Dacula home.
A clogged lint trap or exhaust vent
This is the single most common cause of long dry times and overheating, and it's also a leading cause of dryer fires.
A failed heating element or igniter
Electric dryers lose heat when the element burns out. Gas dryers lose heat when the igniter fails.
A worn drive belt
When the belt snaps, the drum stops turning even though the motor still runs.
A faulty thermostat or thermal fuse
These parts protect against overheating, but when they misread the temperature, they can cut the heat off entirely.
What Affects the Cost of Dryer Repair
Gas and electric dryers have different parts, so cost varies by model and issue. Here's what generally moves the price.
Diagnostic visit
Covers the technician's time to find the problem, waived if you proceed.
Simple fixes
Belts, thermal fuses, and vent cleanings are quick and affordable.
Gas igniter or valve
