Dryer not heating, taking two cycles to dry, or making new noises? I repair gas and electric dryers across all major brands in Fort Collins.
I repair gas and electric dryers across all major brands, including ventless heat-pump units. Typical work covers heating elements, gas igniters and gas valve coils, thermal fuses, drive belts, drum rollers, idler pulleys, motors, moisture sensors, and control boards. A clogged vent duct is the biggest cause of "takes two cycles" complaints and the leading cause of dryer fires per the U.S. Fire Administration, so I inspect and clean the full vent run on most service calls. Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, and Amana share a platform where the thermal fuse, igniter, and gas valve coils are standard repeat items. Samsung DV front-loaders have a documented heater-housing crack pattern, and Speed Queen dryers remain the reliability outlier in this category.
Before you call, a few things are worth a quick try. If any of these fixes it, you save a service call. If not, give me a ring.
Use a vacuum crevice tool inside the housing cavity. A damp or fabric-softener-coated filter cuts airflow. Never reinstall a wet filter.
Run a dryer-vent brush through the full run. If the duct is foil-style or kinked, replace it with rigid or semi-rigid per code. Most dryer fires start in neglected flex runs.
Check from outside. Lint, bird nests, and pest screens are the usual culprits.
A tilted dryer loads the drum rollers unevenly and wears bearings fast.
Confirm that other gas appliances also work. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility first.
Do not remove the sealed condenser coil; that is a service task.
A few signals mean stop using the appliance and call a technician. If you see or smell any of these, unplug the unit and reach out.
Average Service Life
13 years
Gas and electric are comparable. Speed Queen dryers regularly run 20 to 25 years and outperform the field by a wide margin. Apply the 50% rule. Heating elements, igniters, gas coils, belts, thermal fuses, and door switches usually justify repair through year 12. Motor replacement on a budget unit past year 10 often does not pencil out.
I service all major brands. If I can get the parts, I can fix it. Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, KitchenAid, Maytag, Bosch, and more. No brand is too obscure.
