Dryer Problems We Fix in Johnson City
From no heat to loud noises, we handle all common dryer issues fast with same day service available.
Dryer Not Heating
On electric dryers usually a burned out heating element or blown thermal fuse. On gas dryers usually the igniter, flame sensor, or gas valve coils. We carry parts for both on the truck.
Takes Too Long to Dry
Almost always caused by a clogged dryer vent restricting airflow. Also check for a failing heating element or worn drum seal. We inspect the full system including the vent line.
Squeaking or Squealing
Worn drum support rollers, a worn idler pulley, or a worn drum felt seal are the usual culprits. All normal wear parts we carry on the truck for most major brands.
Loud Banging or Thumping
Usually caused by a broken or worn drive belt, a damaged drum roller, or an object caught in the drum. We inspect and replace the worn parts so the noise stops for good.
Dryer Not Starting
Could be a failed door switch, blown thermal fuse, bad start switch, or a control board issue. We troubleshoot the full electrical system to find the exact cause fast.
Drum Not Spinning
A broken drive belt is the most common cause of a drum that will not turn. The motor runs but the drum stays still. Drive belt replacement is one of our most common same day repairs.
Overheating
A dryer that gets too hot is almost always caused by a blocked vent. This is also a fire hazard. We clean and inspect the vent system and replace any failed thermostats or thermal fuses.
Dryer Vent Blocked
A clogged dryer vent causes poor drying performance, overheating, and is a major fire risk. We clean and inspect the full vent line from the dryer to the outside vent cap.

Dryer Repair in Johnson City TN: What You Need to Know
Dryers are one of the most repairable appliances in your home. Most dryer problems come down to a handful of common parts that wear out over time.

Gas Dryer Repair vs Electric Dryer Repair
Gas and electric dryers share the same basic mechanical parts but have different heating systems. Knowing which type you have helps us show up prepared.
Electric dryer repairs most commonly involve the heating element, thermal fuse, cycling thermostat, or high-limit thermostat. When an electric dryer runs but produces no heat, the heating element is the first thing we check. A blown thermal fuse is also very common, and it often means the dryer vent is clogged and causing the unit to overheat repeatedly.
Gas dryer repairs involve the igniter, flame sensor, gas valve coils, and radiant sensor. When a gas dryer runs but the drum stays cold, the igniter or flame sensor is usually the cause. Gas dryer parts are generally less expensive than electric heating elements, which makes gas dryer repairs often more affordable.
We are equipped and trained to safely repair both gas and electric dryers of all brands and models.

Dryer Vent Safety: What You Need to Know
A clogged dryer vent is one of the leading causes of house fires in the United States. When lint builds up in the vent line over time, hot air cannot escape and the dryer overheats. This trips the thermal fuse repeatedly and can eventually start a fire in the vent duct itself.
Signs your dryer vent may need cleaning include clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, the dryer exterior feeling very hot during operation, a burning smell when the dryer runs, and visible lint buildup around the outside vent opening. We recommend having your dryer vent professionally cleaned at least once a year for average households, and more often if you do a lot of laundry.
When we come out for a dryer repair we always check the vent system as part of the service to make sure your home is safe.

A dryer that runs but produces no heat is one of the most common repair calls we get. On electric dryers the most likely cause is a burned out heating element or a blown thermal fuse. On gas dryers it is usually a faulty igniter, flame sensor, or gas valve coils. A clogged dryer vent can also cause the dryer to overheat and trip the thermal fuse repeatedly. We diagnose the exact cause and fix it the same day in most cases.
A dryer that takes multiple cycles to dry clothes is almost always caused by a clogged or restricted dryer vent. When the vent is blocked, hot moist air cannot escape and clothes stay damp. Other causes include a partially failed heating element producing low heat, a worn drum seal allowing hot air to escape, or a faulty moisture sensor giving inaccurate readings. We check the full system including the vent line to find the real cause.
Squeaking or squealing from a dryer is almost always caused by worn drum support rollers, a worn drum glide or felt seal, or a worn idler pulley. These are all normal wear parts that wear down over years of use. The good news is all of these are straightforward repairs. We carry drum rollers, idler pulleys, and drum seals for most major brands on the truck so the repair can usually be done same day.
Dryers are generally one of the most cost effective appliances to repair. Most common dryer repairs cost between $100 and $250, while a new dryer costs $400 to $900 or more. If your dryer is under 10 years old and the repair cost is under half the price of a new one, fixing it almost always makes more financial sense. Our technicians give honest advice on whether repair or replacement is the smarter choice for your specific situation.
