Dryer Repair in Vancouver, WA
A dryer that takes two cycles to dry one load wastes time and energy — and sometimes points to a real safety issue. We repair gas and electric dryers in homes across Vancouver, WA, find the actual cause, and give you a clear estimate before any work begins.

Dryer problems we fix in Vancouver
- Not heating — the drum turns but the air stays cold, often a failed heating element, igniter, gas valve coil or thermal fuse.
- Takes two or more cycles to dry a normal load, most often a restricted vent or a heat source that's only partly working.
- Shuts off mid-cycle — usually overheating that trips a safety thermostat, or a failing motor.
- Won't start or won't tumble — a broken drive belt, door switch, start switch or motor.
- Loud thumping or squealing from worn drum rollers, idler pulley, glides or a flat spot on the belt.
- Clothes coming out damp or unusually hot — moisture sensors, cycling thermostats and airflow problems we can test for.
Before your visit: check airflow, and stop if you smell burning
Clean the lint filter before every load, then check the vent: with the dryer running, step outside to the exterior vent hood and feel for strong, warm airflow. Weak airflow, a crushed foil hose behind the dryer, or a flap that won't open means lint is trapping heat — the most common cause of slow drying.
If you notice a burning smell, scorching or smoke, stop using the dryer immediately, turn it off and unplug it (and close the gas supply valve on a gas dryer if you can reach it safely). Don't run it again until it's been checked.
