From dryers that won’t heat or tumble to noises, long dry times and error codes, these are some of the most common dryer problems we diagnose in Vaughan homes.
On standard dryers, the usual causes are a failed heating element, a blown thermal fuse or a faulty thermostat.
On gas dryers, a weak igniter or gas valve coils are the usual causes. A blown thermal fuse is often a sign of a blocked vent, so we check the airflow as well as the part. Want to check a few things first? Our guide to why your dryer isn’t heating walks you through the setting, the breaker and the vent.
Most often a restricted lint path or exhaust vent.
A weak element or igniter, a faulty cycling thermostat or a dirty moisture sensor can also leave clothes damp.
If you hear the motor but the drum isn’t moving, the drum belt has usually snapped.
A failed idler pulley, seized rollers or a motor fault can cause the same thing.
Squealing and thumping usually come from worn drum rollers, the idler pulley or drum bearings.
Scraping often means worn drum glides or a felt seal.
A door switch, a thermal fuse, a start switch or the control board.
Check the breaker first, and make sure the door closes firmly.
Often a cycling or high-limit thermostat, or a vent so blocked that the dryer is protecting itself.

Before any work beginsWe run it to check heat and drum movement. Completed repairs are backed by our 1-Year Parts & Labour Warranty.
1-Year Parts & Labour WarrantyA dryer that takes two cycles to dry is often fine. The problem is usually the air path. Lint builds up in the lint screen housing, the duct behind the dryer, and the vent hood outside. With nowhere to go, hot, damp air stays in the drum. That makes drying slow and can trip the dryer’s safety fuse. Clean the lint screen every load, and check that the outside flap opens when the dryer runs.
We clean dryer vent ducts too, so the dryer and the vent can be sorted out in one visit. We also install dryer vents, from hooking up to existing ducting to new duct runs through an outside wall. We look at your vent and quote the work on site.
If you smell burning, or a gas dryer smells of gas, stop using it. For a gas smell, leave the house and call your gas utility first. For a burning smell, unplug the dryer and call us at 1-888-642-0352.

These heat with a heating element. We test the element, the thermal fuse and the thermostats in order, so you only pay for the part that actually failed.
These heat with a gas burner lit by an igniter. We test the igniter, the gas valve coils and the flame sensor, and we check for a vent blockage that can trip the safety fuse.

If the job needs new venting, a new outlet or circuit, or other work beyond the appliance, we’ll tell you before any work starts.
Most dryer repairs are belts, fuses, rollers, elements and igniters, and they’re usually well worth doing. A failed motor or control board on an older dryer is when replacing is worth a look. We’ll give you the price and tell you plainly.
An older dryer with rust, a damaged drum or repeated failures may not justify a major repair.
Fuse, element, igniter, belt, roller and switch faults are often practical to repair when the dryer is otherwise in good condition. Motors and control boards cost more.
Parts for some older or discontinued models are limited or slow to source.
We compare the repair price with the cost of a comparable new dryer and tell you plainly if replacing makes more sense.
If replacing makes more sense, we can install your new dryer. Call 1-888-642-0352 to book.
