What we fix
Common dryer problems we see in Ocoee homes
Most dryer calls fall into one of these categories.
No heat
Usually a burned-out heating element on electric dryers, or an igniter or gas valve issue on gas dryers. A blown thermal fuse can also cut off heat entirely.
Drum won't turn
Most often a broken drive belt. A humming sound with no rotation can point to a failing motor or a stuck idler pulley.
Takes far too long to dry
The leading cause is a clogged exhaust vent restricting airflow, though a failing thermostat can also cause long, inefficient cycles.
Loud thumping or squealing
Often worn drum support rollers, a worn drive belt, or a failing idler pulley bearing rubbing during rotation.
Won't start
Can be a faulty door switch, a tripped thermal fuse, or a control board issue. We check the simple culprits first.
Burning smell
This warrants immediate attention — often lint buildup near the heating element, but always worth a same-day inspection for safety.
What it costs
Dryer repair pricing, explained upfront
Here's the general range once a technician has confirmed the cause.
The final price is confirmed after diagnosis, before any repair work begins.
Should you repair or replace?
Most dryers last 10 to 13 years. If yours is younger than that and the repair is less than half the cost of a new unit, repairing is usually the better value. A failed motor or drum on an older dryer is often the point where replacement makes more sense.

Dryer repair FAQs
Why is my dryer running but not producing heat?+
On electric dryers this is almost always a burned-out heating element. On gas dryers, a faulty igniter or gas valve coil is the more common cause.
Why does my dryer take two or three cycles to dry a load?+
A clogged exhaust vent is the leading cause, restricting airflow and trapping moist air inside the drum. We recommend having the vent checked alongside the appliance itself.
Should I be worried about a clean-linty smell?+
A mild lint smell is normal, but a burning smell is not — that warrants turning the dryer off and calling for a same-day inspection.
How long do dryers usually last?+
Most dryers last 10 to 13 years with regular use and proper vent maintenance.
Do you also clean dryer vents?+
Yes — see our separate dryer vent cleaning service, which pairs well with a dryer repair visit. Curious how often it needs doing? Read how often you should clean your dryer vent.
