Not heating (electric)
Burned heating element or blown thermal fuse from a clogged vent. We test, replace, and check the vent.
Not heating (gas)
Failed igniter, gas valve solenoid, or flame sensor. Certified gas-appliance technicians on every call.
Drum will not spin
Broken drive belt, failed motor, or seized roller. We carry belts and rollers for all major brands.
Loud squeak or thump
Worn drum rollers, glides, or idler pulley — an easy fix if caught early.
Takes too long to dry
Almost always a clogged vent. We clean from the dryer to the wall and outside.
Stops mid-cycle
Overheating from poor airflow, failed thermistor, or weak motor. We diagnose the root cause.
Will not start
Door switch, start switch, thermal fuse, or control board failure. We test in the right order.
Smells like burning
Stop using the dryer immediately and call us. This is almost always lint near the heating element — a fire risk.

FAQ
How much does dryer repair cost in Portland?
Most dryer repairs in Portland range from $130 to $380. Heating elements and thermal fuses are on the lower end; motor or drum bearing replacements cost more. You get a written quote before starting work.
Dryer not heating but the drum spins — what is wrong?
On electric dryers, the most common cause is a burned-out heating element followed by a blown thermal fuse caused by a clogged vent. On gas dryers, it is usually a failed igniter or gas valve solenoid. We test all of them and quote accordingly.
Do you repair both gas and electric dryers?
Yes. We service gas dryers (natural gas and propane) and electric dryers from every major brand. Our technicians are certified for safe handling of gas appliances.
Why does my dryer take two cycles to dry clothes?
Almost always a vent issue. A clogged dryer vent traps heat and moisture, doubling drying time and creating a fire hazard. We clean vents during the same visit if needed.
Is it safe to keep using a dryer that squeaks loudly?
No. Squeaking is usually worn drum rollers, glides, or idler pulley — ignoring it leads to drum damage and belt failure. Catch it early and the fix is inexpensive.
