Houston Appliance Repair
Dryer Repair
No heat, no tumble, or a burning smell — dryer issues are also a safety check, and we treat them that way.
A dryer that's not heating, not turning, or running hot is rarely just an inconvenience — clogged vents and worn heating elements are a real fire-risk category we take seriously.
Typical repair range: $100–$380 · Covers most heating element, thermostat, belt, and vent-related repairs.

FAQ
Dryer Repair questions, answered
My dryer runs but nothing gets warm — what's wrong?
Usually a failed heating element or a blown thermal fuse (often tripped by a clogged vent restricting airflow). We check both, and we check the vent itself — replacing the element without clearing a blocked vent just burns it out again.
Is a dryer that smells hot dangerous?
It can be. Lint buildup combined with a failing heating element or thermostat is the leading cause of dryer fires. If yours smells hot or scorched, stop using it and call us — we prioritize these calls.
Why do my clothes take multiple cycles to dry?
Nine times out of ten it's restricted exhaust airflow — a clogged vent, a crushed duct, or lint packed behind the drum — not the heating element itself.
Do you clean dryer vents, or just repair the machine?
We check and clear the accessible vent path as part of every "not drying" diagnostic, since it's directly tied to the repair. Full whole-house duct cleaning is a separate specialty service we can point you to if needed.
Gas or electric — do you service both?
Yes, both gas and electric dryers, including stacked units.
What does a squealing noise usually mean?
Almost always worn drum rollers, a glide, or a belt — inexpensive parts that are quick to replace once we confirm which one it is.
