    During repairs, faulty parts, rollers, belts, tensioners are replaced. But in addition to this, in most cases it is necessary to clean the inside of the dryer. Otherwise, newly installed parts will quickly break due to dust, lint and foreign objects accumulated inside the dryer.

  2. The dryer does not heat.
    A common problem is the failure of sensors or the heating element due to overheating, clogged ventilation ducts, or short circuit. Possible failure of the control board. 

    A very common problem of overheating and breakdown of dryers or, in some cases, fires of dryers is accumulated lint and dust inside.                                                                                                                             Dryer lint dust inside

    If there are pets in the house, the amount of lint accumulated inside the dryer can be very large and in some cases causes a fire inside the dryer, followed by a short circuit of the electrical wiring and a fire in the house. The photo below shows traces of a lint fire inside the dryer. Fortunately, there was no major fire. Only the dryer suffered a lot of damage inside.dryer_lint_firefire_inside_dryer_caused_lint

    Technicians of our company will clean the inside of the dryer and replace the identified faulty parts.
    Also, a common problem in addition to lint inside the dryer, blockages in the ventilation ducts. Such blockages prevent the normal removal of heat and moisture from the dryer, which causes overheating and failure of dryer parts.
    Our technicians have the ability to clean or replace ventilation ducts that are not very long and are in the open air. If the ducts are long and pass inside walls and ceilings, this requires special equipment. In this situation, you need to contact ventilation cleaning specialists.

    Here is an example video of the ignition process of a refurbished dryer made by our company in the Chicago suburbs.  



    As you can see on the video above after cleaning the inside and replacing the sensors, the dryer works well
  3. The dryer makes noise and squeak.
    The problem most often occurs due to dust accumulated inside the dryer or dryer rollers or bearings age. To repair, first of all, it is necessary to clean the inside of the dryer. After that, defect detection and replacement of rollers, sliding bearings, worn guide elements of the dryer are carried out.
    This repair is usually carried out during the first inspection of the dryer.              dryer_not_work_motor_not_rotate_lint                                               Dryer noise squeak reason
    It is important to note that long-term operation of a dryer that makes abnormal noises often leads to expensive and time-consuming repairs.
    Therefore, when noise appears, it is better to repair the dryer immediately while the repair is not expensive.

  4. The dryer does not turn on.
    This fault occurs for various reasons depending on the design of the dryer and can be caused by a broken belt, as well as burnt-out sensors, fuses, control boards, etc. The exact cause of this malfunction can be determined by a technician during diagnostics.

In most cases, our technicians have the necessary spare parts and will perform the necessary cleaning of the internal parts of the dryer and repairs during the first visit.

 If it is time to replace your dryer and not spend money on repairs, our technician will tell you about it.

Dryer Repair Chicago — FAQ

How much does dryer repair cost in Chicago?

Dryer repairs in Chicago typically cost $110 to $290, parts and labor included. The service call is free when you move forward with the repair. You'll receive a firm quote before any work begins.

My dryer has no heat — what causes that?

A dryer with no heat is usually a failed heating element (electric dryers), a faulty igniter or gas valve coil (gas dryers), a tripped thermal fuse, or a bad cycling thermostat. All of these are repairable on the first visit in most cases.

My dryer is making loud or unusual noises — what's wrong?

A squealing, thumping, or grinding dryer usually has worn drum rollers, a failing drum support bearing, a worn idler pulley, or damaged drum glides. A thumping sound can also mean the drive belt is slipping. These are all mechanical parts we carry for most major brands and can replace on the first visit.

My dryer takes too long to dry — is something wrong?

Long drying cycles are often caused by a clogged exhaust vent, a weak blower wheel, a partially failed heating element, or an overloaded moisture sensor. A blocked vent is also a fire risk — we check and clear it during every service call.

Do you repair gas and electric dryers?

Yes — we service both gas and electric dryers across all major brands including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, Kenmore, Bosch, Electrolux, and Speed Queen.

Do your repairs come with a warranty?

Yes — all repairs include an up-to-90-day parts and labor warranty. If the same issue returns within 90 days, we come back at no additional cost.

Yes. Call or text +1 (773) 243-4565 to check availability on your route. Same-day diagnostics are available across Chicago and nearby suburbs when you're on an active route that day.

Is it worth repairing a dryer or buying a new one?

If the dryer is under 10 years old and the repair cost is less than half the replacement price, repair almost always makes financial sense. We'll tell you honestly after the diagnosis if replacement would be the better call.
