Dryer problems we repair in Kenmore
Most dryer faults fall into three groups. Pick the one that matches what your dryer is doing. If you need dryer repair in Kenmore, WA, we cover all three groups on both gas and electric dryers.
Dryer not heating
Runs, but the clothes stay wet or only warm. Often the vent, a thermal fuse or a heating part. More help is in our dryer guides.
Won’t start, door and controls
No spin, no response, or the dryer hums. Power, door switch, start switch or controls.
Noise, drum and belt
Thumping, squealing or a drum that will not turn. Belt, rollers, pulley or glides.
Our dryer repair service in Kenmore, WA
We repair gas and electric dryers in Kenmore, Washington. A dryer repair service should start with questions, not with a part. We ask what the dryer is doing, when it started, and whether you have seen an error code or noticed a burning smell. Then we test the parts in a clear order and tell you what we found.
Most calls come down to a short list of faults. A clogged vent, a blown thermal fuse or a worn belt can look like a dead dryer, yet each has a different fix and a different cost. That is why a dryer technician tests before replacing anything.
Gas and electric dryer repair
- Electric dryer repair. Heating elements, thermal fuses, thermostats, door switches and start switches.
- Gas dryer repair. Igniters, gas valve coils, flame sensors and the vent that carries the exhaust out of your home.
- Front load and top load dryers. Belts, rollers, idler pulleys, drum glides and door catches.
- Kenmore brand dryers. We repair Kenmore dryers and many other brands. See the Kenmore models page for common faults by model.
What to do before you call
- Unplug the dryer. For a gas dryer, shut off the gas valve too.
- Clean the lint trap and look at the vent hose behind the dryer.
- Check the breaker. An electric dryer uses a double breaker, and one half can trip.
- Write down the brand, the model number inside the door and what the dryer does.
That takes five minutes and helps us give you a better answer on the phone. If the dryer smells of gas or burning, stop using it and leave the house first.
