Common Dryer Problems We Service
There are plenty of reasons why you need dryer repairs. Here are some of the most common issues we fix:
- Loud noises: If your dryer is making loud, annoying noises, it could be due to a broken belt, loose idler pulley, or worn-out drum bearings. Appliance Insight's professionals are ready to fix it.
- Won't start: A dryer that won't start can be frustrating. There are many possible causes, and our experts can diagnose the problem and then repair or replace the necessary parts to get your dryer running again.
- Won't shut off: When a dryer won't shut off, a faulty door switch is often the cause. Schedule a repair with Appliance Insight to have the switch fixed or replaced.
- Shuts off too soon: If your clothes dryer stops unexpectedly, a blown thermal fuse might be the issue. Contact Appliance Insight if you're dealing with this problem, and we'll get your dryer back on track.
- Takes too long to dry: A typical gas or electric dryer should dry a full load in 30 to 60 minutes. If it's taking longer, try cleaning the lint trap and vent. If that doesn't work, give Appliance Insight a call.
- Won't heat properly: There are several reasons why your dryer might not be heating properly. Let us handle it—we'll figure out the cause and replace the heating element if needed.
- Won't tumble: If the drum isn't spinning when you turn on your dryer, it could be due to a worn-out or broken drum bearing or drive belt or motor. Contact Appliance Insight for a dryer belt, bearing or motor replacement.
- Door won't shut: Dryer doors rely on a metal spring clamp and a plastic clasp to close correctly. If either part is bent, damaged, or broken, let Appliance Insight repair it.

Dryer Repair FAQs
Our electric and gas dryer repair service includes a thorough examination of the appliance to identify potential issues, perform necessary maintenance, and repair or replace any defective parts. Depending on the extent of the damage, we will either repair your dryer on-site or, if needed, transport it to our workshop for further service.
The cost of repairing your clothes dryer depends largely on the extent of the damage and the appliance’s brand. Gas dryers can experience a variety of issues, so repair costs vary based on the specific problems encountered. Minor issues, like faulty dryer doors, may cost around $80 to fix, while major defects, such as broken thermostats, can be up to $200 to replace. Replacing a broken motor can cost up to $450. On average, most of our customers spend between $150 and $350 for repairs.
Deciding whether to replace or repair your gas or electric dryer depends on the specific issue at hand. In some cases, repairing a significantly damaged dryer may not be the most sensible option. To guide your decision, consider the 50% rule: don’t spend more than 50% of your dryer’s replacement cost on repairs. For example, if the repair estimate exceeds $400, it might be more cost-effective to replace the dryer, as new models typically range from $500 to $800.
Typically, dryer repair services take about an hour. However, the exact time required depends on the issue. For minor problems, such as a door that won’t open, our technicians can resolve it on-site within 30 minutes. More complex issues may require the dryer to be transported to our facility for a thorough inspection and repair.
Yes, it’s possible to fix a dryer on your own. Depending on what’s wrong, you might be able to find and replace certain parts yourself. But for trickier issues like the control board, thermal fuse, or heating element, it’s probably a good idea to call in a pro.
There are a bunch of reasons your dryer might not be working. Sometimes it’s as simple as it being unplugged, overloaded, or a tripped breaker. But other times, it could be something more serious like a bad outlet, a blown fuse, a broken door switch, or an issue with the start button, belt, or motor.
When deciding whether to fix your dryer, think about a few things: Is it still under warranty? Is it energy efficient? Did it have any special features you really liked before it broke? If you’re saying no to all three, it might be time to think about getting a new one.
You can usually tell your dryer is broken if it takes too long to dry clothes, won’t start, stop, spin, or heat up, makes loud noises, or if you notice a burning smell
A gas dryer has two key connections: an electric cord that plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet and a gas line hookup. The gas line is often coated in yellow, but it might also just look like a braided stainless steel line.
A gas dryer can plug into a regular 120-volt outlet. But an electric dryer needs more juice, so it requires a 220-volt outlet.
A thermal fuse is a built-in safety feature that trips if the air in your dryer gets too hot. The most common reason this happens is a blocked exhaust vent. If the fuse blows, you’ll need a professional to replace it.
If your dryer smells like gas, there could be a few reasons. The most common one is a faulty igniter. Another possibility is a leak in the exhaust system. If you notice a gas or kerosene smell when the dryer isn’t running, it might be due to a defective gas valve seal. If this happens, stop using your dryer immediately and call your gas company. After they’ve checked for leaks, give Appliance Insight a call to handle any necessary repairs.
