Dryer repair in Los Angeles
A dryer that runs but does not heat is a heating element, a thermal fuse, a gas igniter or a coil — all standard parts we carry. A dryer that takes two or three cycles is usually a vent problem, which is also a fire risk, so we check the vent on every dryer call.
Electric dryers
No heat almost always means the heating element, the high-limit thermostat or the thermal fuse. A blown thermal fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, so we check the vent before replacing it. A dryer that will not start is usually the door switch, start switch or belt switch.
Gas dryers
If the igniter glows but the burner does not light, the gas valve coils have failed — a common, inexpensive repair. No glow means the igniter, flame sensor or thermal fuse. Gas dryer work includes a leak check after the repair.
Noise and tumbling
Squealing is a worn drum bearing or idler pulley; thumping is a flat drum roller or a damaged belt. Not tumbling with the motor humming is the belt. These are same-visit repairs.

Questions about dryer repair
Do you clean dryer vents?
We clear the connection and the first section of vent during a repair and tell you if the run needs a full cleaning.
Why does my dryer keep blowing the thermal fuse?
Restricted airflow — a clogged vent, a crushed hose or a lint-packed blower. Replacing the fuse without fixing airflow just repeats the failure.
Can you convert a gas dryer to electric or vice versa?
No. Dryers are built for one fuel type.
