Dryer Repair
Dryer not heating, taking too long, or making strange noises? We repair all dryer types including gas and electric models. Fast turnaround so your laundry routine stays on track.
Gas & Electric Dryer Repair Experts
A dryer that won't heat or takes multiple cycles wastes energy and time. Blue Jay Appliance Services repairs both gas and electric dryers from every major brand — Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, LG, GE, Speed Queen, and more. Our gas-certified technicians handle igniter replacements, thermal fuse failures, and gas valve issues safely. For electric models, we diagnose heating elements, thermostats, and motor problems. We also check your dryer vent on every service call because restricted airflow is the leading cause of dryer performance issues and a serious fire hazard.
Why Homeowners Trust Blue Jay for Dryer Repair
Dryer problems are rarely as simple as they seem online. A 'not heating' symptom could be the element, the thermal fuse, or a vent restriction — and the wrong diagnosis wastes your money. Our technicians test systematically, explain what they find, and give you a written estimate before starting work. Every repair carries our 90-day parts and labor warranty, and most are completed on the first visit.
Common Dryer Repair Problems We Fix
Whether gas or electric, dryer problems share common patterns. Here are the failures our technicians encounter and resolve most frequently:
Not Heating
A dryer that tumbles but doesn't produce heat is usually caused by a burned-out heating element, faulty thermal fuse, broken gas igniter, or defective thermostat. We carry common replacement parts on our trucks.
Takes Too Long to Dry
Extended drying times are often the result of a clogged lint filter or exhaust vent, worn drum seals allowing heat to escape, or a failing heating element operating below capacity.
Making Loud Noises
Banging, squealing, or thumping sounds commonly come from worn drum rollers, a damaged belt, defective idler pulley, or foreign objects caught between the drum and housing.
Won't Turn On
When your dryer is completely unresponsive, the cause is typically a failed start switch, blown thermal fuse, defective door switch, or a power supply issue. We test each component systematically.
Drum Not Spinning
A dryer that heats but won't tumble usually has a broken drive belt, seized drum rollers, or a worn motor coupling. Belt replacement is one of the most common dryer repairs we perform.
Burning Smell
A burning odor is a serious safety concern often caused by lint buildup inside the cabinet, a slipping belt, or overheating components. We clean, inspect, and repair to eliminate fire risks.

Dryer Repair FAQ
Why is my dryer not heating?
The most common causes are a burned-out heating element (electric dryers), faulty gas igniter (gas dryers), blown thermal fuse, or defective thermostat. Our technicians carry these parts on our trucks for fast same-day repair.
How much does dryer repair cost?
Repair costs vary depending on the issue. We provide a clear, written estimate before starting work. Most common repairs cost significantly less than buying a new dryer.
Do you repair both gas and electric dryers?
Yes, we service both gas and electric dryers from all major manufacturers. Our technicians are trained and certified for gas appliance repairs, including igniter and gas valve work.
How often should I clean my dryer vent?
We recommend professional dryer vent cleaning at least once a year. Clogged vents reduce efficiency, extend drying times, and are a leading cause of house fires. We can inspect your vent during any service call.
My dryer is making a loud banging noise. What's wrong?
Banging or thumping noises are usually caused by worn drum support rollers, a damaged drive belt, or loose baffle/lifters inside the drum. These are straightforward repairs that we handle routinely.
