Common Dryer Problems We Fix in Ottawa
Dryer Not Heating
Is your dryer blowing cold air or not heating properly? This common problem can be caused by a faulty heating element, blown thermal fuse, defective thermostat, or clogged vent. We diagnose and repair all dryer heating issues for both gas and electric dryers.
Dryer Takes Too Long to Dry
Clothes still damp after a full cycle? When your dryer takes too long to dry, it's often due to restricted airflow, lint buildup, a failing heating element, or moisture sensor problems. Our technicians restore efficient drying quickly.
Dryer Making Loud Noises
Is your dryer squeaking, rattling, thumping, or making grinding noises? Dryer drum noise often indicates worn drum rollers, a damaged belt, faulty idler pulley, or motor bearing failure. Don't ignore these warning signs—call for prompt dryer repair.
Dryer Vibrating or Shaking
Excessive dryer vibration can damage your floor and the machine itself. Causes include unbalanced loads, worn drum support rollers, broken shock absorbers, or improper leveling. We'll diagnose and fix the vibration problem.
Dryer Drum Not Spinning
When your dryer won't spin, you likely have a broken dryer belt, failed motor, or worn drum rollers. Our dryer belt replacement and motor repair services get your drum spinning smoothly again.
Dryer Belt Broken
A snapped or worn dryer belt is one of the most common repair needs. Signs include a motor running but the drum not turning. We carry replacement belts for all major brands for fast dryer belt replacement service.
Dryer Won't Start
When your dryer won't turn on or power on, it could be a door switch issue, start switch failure, thermal fuse problem, or control board failure. Our technicians troubleshoot all dryer startup problems efficiently.
Dryer Stops Mid-Cycle
A dryer that keeps stopping or shuts off mid-cycle is frustrating. This typically indicates overheating protection, a faulty timer, defective moisture sensor, or control board issues. We'll identify and fix the cause.
Clogged Dryer Vent
A clogged dryer vent is a serious fire hazard and causes your dryer to overheat and work inefficiently. Symptoms include burning smell, excessive heat, and clothes not drying. We provide dryer vent cleaning and inspection services.

An overheating dryer is dangerous and often caused by restricted airflow, lint buildup, a faulty thermostat, or blocked exhaust vent. Our dryer safety inspection identifies and resolves overheating issues before they become hazardous.

Absolutely. Our licensed appliance technicians are fully trained and certified for both gas dryer repair and electric dryer repair. For gas dryers, we safely handle gas line issues, igniter problems, and gas valve repairs. For electric dryers, we service heating elements, thermal fuses, and electrical components. Whether your gas dryer is not heating or your electric dryer won't start, we have the expertise to fix it.
A dryer not heating can have several causes: a burned-out heating element, blown thermal fuse, faulty thermostat, clogged dryer vent blocking airflow, or a malfunctioning gas igniter (for gas dryers). If your dryer blows cold air or takes too long to dry clothes, don't delay repairs—it wastes energy and could indicate a safety issue. Our technicians perform dryer thermal fuse replacement, dryer thermostat replacement, and dryer heating element replacement daily.
A dryer making noise typically indicates mechanical wear. Dryer squeaking often means worn drum glides or a failing belt. Dryer rattling suggests loose components or foreign objects in the drum. A dryer thumping noise usually indicates worn drum rollers. Grinding sounds point to motor bearing failure or a damaged idler pulley. We provide dryer roller replacement, dryer belt replacement, and dryer idler pulley replacement to eliminate all noise issues.
When your dryer won't turn on or power on, common causes include a faulty door switch, blown thermal fuse, failed start switch, broken belt (many dryers won't start with a broken belt), or control board issues. If your dryer has power but won't start, our dryer troubleshooting service quickly identifies the problem. We handle dryer control board repair and dryer timer replacement for all brands.
Yes, a clogged dryer vent is extremely dangerous—it's one of the leading causes of house fires. When lint builds up and blocks airflow, your dryer overheats, creating a fire hazard. Warning signs include clothes not drying, dryer overheating, musty odors, and the outside vent flap not opening. We recommend annual dryer vent cleaning. Our dryer safety inspection service checks your vent system and clears any dryer vent blockage.
We provide professional dryer repair for all major brands including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, Bosch, Electrolux, General Electric, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Miele, Fisher & Paykel, Amana, and more. Our technicians are trained on brand-specific issues like Samsung dryer not heating or LG dryer error codes.
The dryer repair vs replacement decision depends on the repair cost, age of your dryer, and its overall condition. Generally, if the repair cost exceeds 50% of a new dryer's price and your unit is over 10-12 years old, replacement may be more economical. However, quality dryers from brands like Maytag or Miele can last 20+ years with proper maintenance. Our honest technicians provide unbiased advice based on your specific situation.
Most dryer repairs are completed in a single visit, typically within 1-2 hours. Our service vans carry common dryer parts including heating elements, thermal fuses, belts, rollers, and motors.
