"Found the igniter was cracked and not glowing. Replaced it and the gas dryer heats on every cycle now. Couldn't be happier with the service."

Frequently Asked Questions

The most common causes are a blown thermal fuse, a burned-out heating element, or failed gas valve coils (gas dryers). A blown thermal fuse is almost always caused by a restricted exhaust vent — so the fix should include checking the vent, not just replacing the fuse. Our $59 diagnostic covers the full heating circuit and vent check.

Absolutely. A restricted vent causes the dryer to overheat internally, which blows the thermal fuse — a safety device that cuts power to the heating circuit. Our tech replaces the fuse and checks the vent condition so the new fuse doesn't blow again. Vent cleaning can be done during the same visit.

Running a dryer without heat won't cause immediate danger, but if the cause is a restricted vent, continued use could be a fire hazard. And drying clothes without heat takes much longer, which puts extra wear on the drum, motor, and belt. Better to fix the root cause than to work around it.
