Most dryer faults fall into three groups. Pick the one that matches what your dryer is doing.
Dryer not heating
Runs, but the clothes stay wet or only warm. Often the vent, a thermal fuse or a heating part.
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.
Not sure which one it is?
Call and tell us what the dryer does. You can also read the Kenmore problems and error codes guide or look up your model.
Pricing: the price depends on the fault and the part. See the pricing page.
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.

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.
