Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my dryer not heating up?
A failed heating element, a tripped thermal fuse, or a faulty thermostat are the most common causes. A blown thermal fuse often means the dryer is also overheating somewhere else, like a clogged vent, so we check both.
Is a dryer that takes multiple cycles a fire risk?
It can be. Slow drying is often caused by lint buildup restricting airflow, which raises the internal temperature and increases fire risk. We recommend having it checked promptly rather than running extra cycles to compensate.
How often should dryer vents be cleaned?
Most homes should have dryer vents professionally cleaned once a year. Homes with pets, long vent runs, or heavy laundry use may need it more often.
Do you repair gas and electric dryers?
Yes, our technicians are trained and equipped to repair both gas and electric dryers from all major brands.
