Residential & Commercial Dryer Repair
Dryer Repair
in San Diego County
A dryer that won't heat, won't start, or takes three cycles to dry a single load is more than an inconvenience — it can also be a safety issue if lint and heat are involved. Our technicians repair gas and electric dryers of every brand for homes and businesses throughout San Diego County. We diagnose the actual cause on-site, explain the cost before we start, and carry the parts most dryer repairs need right on the truck.
Common Problems
Common Dryer Repair Problems We Fix
A few of the most frequent issues our technicians see on service calls throughout San Diego County.
Dryer Won't Start
A door switch that isn't registering closed, a blown thermal fuse, or a failed start switch are the most common causes of a dryer that won't power on.
Dryer Not Heating (No Heat)
A failed igniter on gas models, a broken heating element on electric models, or a tripped thermal fuse are the usual causes. We check the vent system too, since restricted airflow often triggers the same safety cutoff.
Dryer Takes Multiple Cycles to Dry a Load
This is very often a restricted exhaust vent rather than the dryer itself, though a worn belt or a failing moisture sensor can cause the same symptom. We check the full airflow path, not just the machine.
Dryer Drum Not Turning
A broken drive belt or a worn idler pulley are the most frequent causes of a drum that won't spin even though the motor runs.
Dryer Making Loud Thumping or Squealing Noise
Worn drum support rollers, a glide bearing, or a stretched belt typically cause these noises — left alone, they can eventually damage the drum.
Dryer Overheating or Shutting Off Mid-Cycle
A restricted vent causing the safety thermal cutoff to trip, or a failing cycling thermostat, are the usual causes — this is worth addressing promptly for safety.
Dryer Has a Burning Smell
Lint buildup near the heating element or motor, or a failing belt or bearing generating friction heat, are common causes. We treat this as urgent given the fire risk involved.

FAQ
Dryer Repair FAQs
Is it worth repairing my dryer, or should I replace it?
If the dryer is less than 8–10 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of a comparable new unit, repair is usually the better value. We'll give you an honest recommendation once we've diagnosed the actual problem.
How much does dryer repair typically cost?
Cost depends on the specific part and model, but we always diagnose the exact cause and quote the price before any repair begins.
How long does a dryer repair take?
Most dryer repairs are completed in a single visit, typically 45–90 minutes once the issue is confirmed.
Should I be worried about a dryer that smells like it's burning?
Yes — stop using it and call us. A burning smell is often lint buildup near the heating element or a worn belt or bearing generating friction heat, and it's worth having checked promptly for fire safety.
