Fast, Reliable Dryer Repair
A broken dryer backs up the whole house within a day. Wet laundry piles up, towels start to smell, and the week's schedule falls apart. FM Appliances gets it working again usually on the same visit.
No heat, clothes still damp after a full cycle, a drum that won't turn, loud squealing or thumping, or a dryer that shuts off mid-cycle: we've seen it all. Our technicians repair every major type of dryer: electric, gas, front-load, stackable units, and combination washer-dryers. We carry the most common replacement parts on the truck heating elements, drive belts, thermostats, door seals, igniters so most repairs are finished in a single appointment instead of a return trip a week later.
A dryer that runs too hot or takes forever to dry isn't just an inconvenience. Clogged vents and failing thermostats are a leading cause of household dryer fires, and a struggling machine burns through extra energy every load. Catching the problem early keeps your home safer and your utility bill lower.
Before we touch anything, we run a full diagnostic and give you a fixed price. No hourly surprises, no parts markup revealed at the end. If the repair does not make financial sense against the cost of a replacement dryer, we will tell you that too.
We serve homeowners Monday through Saturday, 8 AM to 6 PM.

Services | Dryer Repair
Dryers are essential for quickly and efficiently drying clothes, and when they stop working properly, it can quickly become a major inconvenience. One of the most common dryer issues is when the dryer is not heating properly. This problem may be caused by a faulty heating element, thermal fuse, thermostat, or clogged vent.
Another frequent issue is when the dryer takes too long to dry clothes. This may happen due to a blocked or restricted vent, clogged lint filter, overloaded drum, or a malfunctioning heating system. Longer drying times can increase energy use and put additional strain on the appliance.
Unusual noises coming from the dryer are also common. Squealing, thumping, rattling, or grinding sounds may indicate problems with the drum rollers, belt, idler pulley, or motor. These issues should be inspected to prevent further damage.
Another common problem is when the dryer stops spinning. This may be caused by a broken drive belt, damaged drum rollers, faulty motor, or problems with the door switch. A dryer that does not tumble properly cannot dry clothes effectively.
Another issue occurs when the dryer shuts off unexpectedly. This may be due to overheating, a clogged vent, faulty thermal fuse, or thermostat problems. Proper airflow and ventilation are important to keep the dryer operating safely and efficiently.

Common Dryer Problems We Fix
Dryer Not Heating
A dryer that won't heat is one of the most common dryer repair calls we get. It's usually caused by a failed heating element, a tripped thermostat, a blown thermal fuse, or an electrical connection issue. We diagnose the exact cause and repair or replace the faulty component so your dryer produces heat again.
Dryer Not Drying Clothes
If your clothes stay damp after a full cycle, the problem is often restricted airflow, a clogged vent, a worn blower wheel, or a failing heating element. We check the venting system, clean out lint buildup, and inspect internal components to fully restore drying performance.
Dryer Making Noise
Loud thumping, squealing, or grinding noises during operation usually point to worn drum bearings, damaged rollers, a failing belt, or loose internal parts. Our technicians identify the source of the noise and replace worn components so your dryer runs quietly again.
Dryer Won't Start
A dryer that won't turn on is typically caused by a faulty door switch, a tripped thermal fuse, a bad start switch, or an electrical control board issue. We run a full diagnostic to pinpoint the fault and get your dryer powering on reliably.
Dryer Taking Too Long
Extended drying cycles are usually a sign of restricted airflow, a clogged exhaust vent, a failing moisture sensor, or a worn heating element. We resolve airflow blockages and repair faulty components to bring drying times back to normal.
Dryer Drum Not Tumbling
If the drum won't spin, it's often due to a broken drive belt, a worn drum roller, or a failed motor. We replace broken belts, damaged rollers, and faulty motors to get the drum tumbling smoothly again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my dryer not heating up?
A dryer that won't heat is usually caused by a failed heating element, a tripped thermostat, a blown thermal fuse, or a faulty electrical connection. Our technicians diagnose the exact cause and repair it in the same visit.
Why are my clothes still damp after a full drying cycle?
Damp clothes after drying typically point to restricted airflow, a clogged vent, a worn blower wheel, or a failing heating element. We clear blockages and repair internal components to restore full drying performance.
Why is my dryer making loud noises?
Loud thumping, squealing, or grinding noises usually mean worn drum bearings, damaged rollers, a failing belt, or loose internal parts. We identify the source of the noise and replace the worn components.
Can a dryer be repaired instead of replaced?
In most cases, yes. Dryer repair is far more affordable than replacement for issues like heating element failure, worn belts, or faulty switches. If the repair cost doesn't make financial sense compared to a new unit, we'll tell you upfront.
Why won't my dryer start?
A dryer that won't turn on is typically caused by a faulty door switch, a tripped thermal fuse, a bad start switch, or a control board issue. We run a full diagnostic to pinpoint the fault and get it powering on reliably.
Do you repair all dryer brands?
Yes, our technicians repair all major dryer brands and types, including electric, gas, front-load, and stackable units.
