Gas and Electric Dryer Repair

Dryers fail in ways that make laundry day frustrating. An electric dryer may have a burned-out heating element. A gas dryer might not ignite, or the gas valve could be stuck. Both types can squeal from a worn belt or idler pulley, take forever to dry because the vent is blocked, or refuse to start because the door switch is broken.

Colby's repair includes thermal fuses and heating elements for electric dryers, igniters and gas valve coils for gas dryers, belts, idler pulleys and drum rollers, door switches, thermostats and the controls that run the cycle. He also inspects the vent hose and ductwork to see whether lint buildup is slowing the airflow.

Before the visit, pull the dryer away from the wall and look at the vent hose on the back—if it is crushed, kinked or packed with lint, that can make the dryer overheat and shut down. Clean the lint trap after every load, even if the dryer seems to be drying well. Smell gas? Leave the house and call your gas company from outside.
